Frances Ridley Havergal

1836 - 1879 Person Name: Frances Havergal Scripture: Hebrews 10:11-25 Author (es. 1-2) of "Cristo su preciosa sangre" in Celebremos Su Gloria Havergal, Frances Ridley, daughter of the Rev. W. H. Havergal, was born at Astley, Worcestershire, Dec. 14, 1836. Five years later her father removed to the Rectory of St. Nicholas, Worcester. In August, 1850, she entered Mrs. Teed's school, whose influence over her was most beneficial. In the following year she says, "I committed my soul to the Saviour, and earth and heaven seemed brighter from that moment." A short sojourn in Germany followed, and on her return she was confirmed in Worcester Cathedral, July 17, 1853. In 1860 she left Worcester on her father resigning the Rectory of St. Nicholas, and resided at different periods in Leamington, and at Caswall Bay, Swansea, broken by visits to Switzerland, Scotland, and North Wales. She died at Caswell Bay, Swansea, June 3, 1879. Miss Havergal's scholastic acquirements were extensive, embracing several modern languages, together with Greek and Hebrew. She does not occupy, and did not claim for herself, a prominent place as a poet, but by her distinct individuality she carved out a niche which she alone could fill. Simply and sweetly she sang the love of God, and His way of salvation. To this end, and for this object, her whole life and all her powers were consecrated. She lives and speaks in every line of her poetry. Her poems are permeated with the fragrance of her passionate love of Jesus. Her religious views and theological bias are distinctly set forth in her poems, and may be described as mildly Calvinistic, without the severe dogmatic tenet of reprobation. The burden of her writings is a free and full salvation, through the Redeemer's merits, for every sinner who will receive it, and her life was devoted to the proclamation of this truth by personal labours, literary efforts, and earnest interest in Foreign Missions. [Rev. James Davidson, B.A.] Miss Havergal's hymns were frequently printed by J. & R. Parlane as leaflets, and by Caswell & Co. as ornamental cards. They were gathered together from time to time and published in her works as follows:— (1) Ministry of Song, 1869; (2) Twelve Sacred Songs for Little Singers, 1870; (3) Under the Surface, 1874; (4) Loyal Responses, 1878; (5) Life Mosaic, 1879; (6) Life Chords, 1880; (7) Life Echoes, 1883. About 15 of the more important of Miss Havergal's hymns, including "Golden harps are sounding," "I gave my life for thee," "Jesus, Master, Whose I am," "Lord, speak to me," "O Master, at Thy feet," "Take my life and let it be," "Tell it out among the heathen," &c, are annotated under their respective first lines. The rest, which are in common use, number nearly 50. These we give, together with dates and places of composition, from the Havergal mss. [manuscript], and the works in which they were published. Those, and they are many, which were printed in Parlane's Series of Leaflets are distinguished as (P., 1872, &c), and those in Caswell’s series (C., 1873, &c). 1. A happy New Year!

Miss Havergal's Poetical Works were published in 2 vols. in 1884 (Lond., J. Nisbet); and the hymns therein are accompanied by notes.

In Snepp's Songs of Grace and Glory, 1872, it begins with stanza ii., "Sing to the little children." “The poem expresses her own life-ministry of song, and relates true incidents" in that life.

S. E. McNair

1867 - 1959 Person Name: Stuart E. McNair Scripture: Hebrews 10:11-25 Translator (es. 1-2) of "Cristo su preciosa sangre" in Celebremos Su Gloria Stuart Edmund McNair was born on March 8, 1867, in Brighton, England, and grew up in Croydon. He was the son of Lindsay William McNair and Harriet Agnes Turrell. He graduated in civil engineering, mechanical drawing, and theology. At 14, he had a significant experience with theologian John Nelson Darby, which influenced his spiritual journey. In 1891, McNair moved to Lisbon, where he worked for five years. In 1896, at 29 years old, he arrived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to do missionary work. Over the years, he evangelized in several Brazilian cities and traveled to Argentina, Spain, and Portugal, including a three-year stay in Coimbra, where he evangelized university students. In addition to his evangelism, McNair made a significant contribution to music. He wrote or translated many hymns, many of which are still included in hymnals used by churches today. Among the hymns he wrote or translated, 157 appear in the hymnal Hinos e Cânticos. After the death of its founder, Richard Holden, McNair became responsible for editing and revising the hymnal, as well as for translating and authoring additional hymns for its continued use. In 1913, he settled in Conceição de Carangola, MG, where he developed Bible schools and trained new Christian leaders. McNair traveled throughout Brazil, and in 1933, he founded the Casa Editora Evangélica in Teresópolis, RJ, focusing on publishing theological materials and Christian education. He was also responsible for publishing the first edition of Hinos e Cânticos com Música in 1939, an important work that solidified his musical contribution to the Brazilian church. Stuart McNair passed away on January 10, 1959, at the age of 92, after more than 50 years of dedication to evangelism, Bible teaching, and Christian music. His legacy lives on through his writings, translations, musical compositions, and contributions to the Christian movement, especially in Brazil.

"She read to me of Jesus, Of all his grace and love." After his conversion, the study of scripture revealed the doctrinal error of his Anglican upbringing. Forsaking all, he set his heart to follow God "at any cost." Later, his son testified this determination was "a trust never disappointed." - Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs (2018)
