1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Keep looking unto Jesus]" in Precious Hymns for Times of Refreshing and Revival William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia.
