Almighty Father, God of love, Hear from Thy throne of light above

Author: Hester P. Hawkins

Hawkins, Hester P., née Lewis, wife of Joshua Hawkins, of Bedford. In 1885, Mrs. Hawkins published The Home Hymn Book, A Manual of Sacred Song for the Family Circle, London, Novello & Co. To this collection she contributed 7 hymns under the signature of "H. P. H." For home use we know of no book of equal comprehensiveness and merit. The music also is well adapted to the family circle. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)… Go to person page >
