Author Bio Information
Adams, Sarah Fuller Flower's bio information
Friday, February 22, 1805 - Monday, August 14, 1848
Born: February 22, 1805, Harlow, Essex, England.
Died: August 14, 1848, St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Middlesex, England, of tuberculosis.
Buried: Foster Street, near Harlow, Essex, England.
Daughter of journalist and politician Benjamin Flower, she married William Bridges Adams in 1834. She had hoped to be an actress, but God had other plans for her. Her stage career was cut short by poor health (though she did get to play Lady Macbeth in 1837), so she turned to writing. Her works include many magazine articles; a poem about early Christian martyrs called Vivia Perpetua (1841); The Flock at the Fountain (1845), a children’s catechism; and 13 entries in Hymns and Anthems, published in 1841 by minister William Johnson Fox. Adams attended Fox’s South Place Unitarian Church, Finsbury, London.
Hymns
Creator Spirit! Thou the First
Darkness Shrouded Calvary
Gently Fall the Dews of Eve
Go, and Watch the Autumn Leaves
He Sendeth Sun, He Sendeth Shower
Nearer, My God, to Thee
O Hallowed Memories of the Past
O Human Heart! Thou Hast a Song
O I Would Sing a Song of Praise
O Love! Thou Makest All Things Even
Part in Peace: Is Day Before Us?
Sing to the Lord! For His Mercies are Sure
The Mourners Came at Break of Day
