Reginald Heber (1783 – 1826) was a Church of England bishop, now remembered chiefly as a hymn-writer. Heber was a pious man of profound learning, literary taste and great practical energy. His fame rests mainly on his hymns. These include: "Bread of the World" "Brightest and best of the sons of the morning" "By cool Siloam's shady rill" "God, that madest earth and heaven" "From Greenland's icy mountains", which was the missionary hymn most frequently printed in 19th century American hymnals "Holy, holy, holy" "Lord of mercy and of might" "The Lord of might from Sinai's brow" "The Lord will come, the earth shall quake" "The Son of God goes forth to war." This volume includes the poems 'Palestine', 'Europe', A Sonnet to Sir Rowland Hill, "The Passage of the Red Sea", and Translations of Pindar. CONDITION Hardback with paper covered boards.
