Wife of preacher Edwin Willard Chapman, and mother of three children, Angie Chapman helped her husband cover several rural circuits of the Free Methodist movement, and assisted on evangelism tours. In 1866, she and her husband were working in Sparta, Michigan, and helped found the first Free Methodist Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, around that time. She published her first hymn, Thou Shalt Rest at Eve, in 1882. About 1888, following an evangelistic tour of Kansas, they moved to Lincoln Township, Isabelle County, Michigan. During the next few years, Angie wrote several hymns, most of which were published after her death. Her daughter Adabelle Chapman Dillabaugh published a book of her own poems, Comfort and Cheer, and on pages 76 and 77 she included “Mother’s Unfinished Hymn.”

Hymns
