Kindred, and friends, and native land

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #551 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Kindred, and friends, and native land, How shall we say farewell? How, when our swelling sails expand, How will our bosoms swell! 2 Yes, nature, all thy soft delights, And tender ties we know; But love, more strong than death, unites To Him that bids us go. 3 Thus, when our ev'ry passion mov'd, The gushing tear-drop starts; The cause of Jesus more belov'd, Shall glow within our hearts. 4 The sighs we breathe for precious souls, Where He is yet unknown, Might waft us to the distant poles, Or to the burning zone. 5 With the warm wish our bosoms swell, Our glowing pow'rs expand; Farewell--then we can say,--Farewell, Our friends, our native land!

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Kindred, and friends, and native land" in The Psalmist In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Maria Grace Saffery

1773 - 1858 Person Name: Mrs. Saffery Author of "Kindred, and friends, and native land" in A Choice Selection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs Saffery, Maria Grace, née Horsey [sic. Andrews], born in 1773, and died March, 1858, was daughter of the Rev. J. Horsey, [sic. She was not the daughter of J. Horsey. J. Horsey was a friend of her husband's] of Portsea, and wife of the Rev. Mr. Saffery, pastor of the Baptist Church at Salisbury. Early in life she published a short poem and a romance, and in 1834, a volume entitled Poems on Sacred Subjects (London, Hamilton, Adams & Co.). Mrs. Saffery was a gifted and accomplished woman. At the suggestion of her husband, and of her son, the Rev. P. J. Saffery, she wrote many hymns for special occasions. She contributed ten to Dr. Leifchild's collection, and others to the Baptist Magazine and other periodicals. Some time before 1818 she wrote a hymn on Holy Baptism, "Tis the Great Father we adore," which was printed in the Baptist New Selection, 1828, has since appeared in most Baptist hymnbooks, and is now in common use; and sometimes as, “’Tis God the Father we adore." Her hymn of a Mother for her Child, "Fain, O my babe, I'd have thee know," is in the Comprehensive Rippon, 1844. Her Evening hymn, "God of the sunlight hours, how sad," from her Poems, &c, 1834, p. 183, and her Good Shepherd, “There is a little lonely fold," from the same, p. 172, are also in common use. [Rev. W. R. Stevenson, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907), corrections provided by Serena McLaren, Maria Saffery's 3rd Great Granddaughter
