Edward W. Eddis
1825 - 1905 Person Name: E. W. Eddis Author of "Eye hath not seen Thy Glory" in Hymns of Consecration and Faith Eddis, Edward William, a member of the Catholic Apostolic Church, commonly known as the "Irvingites," compiled for the use of their congregations, and published in 1864, Hymns for the Use of the Churches (London, Bosworth & Harrison). It contained 205 hymns, of which nineteen were his original compositions, and two translations. The 2nd edition, in a revised form with 320 hymns and 44 doxologies, was published in 1871 (London, J. Strangeways). To this he contributed forty new hymns and one translation, thus making 62 hymns. All these are signed "E. W. Eddis." Very few are found in any other collection. The exceptions include "O brightness of the Immortal Father's Face " (translation from the Greek); "In us the hope of glory" (The Second Advent desired); and "Thou standest at the altar" (Holy Communion). There are other hymns in this collection signed “E.," "C. E.," and "E. E.," which seem to indicate members of his family, but about which we can gain no definite information. The last, "E. E.," is probably his wife, as her name was "Ellen Eddis."
