(Youngstown, Ohio, June 17, 1813--September 10, 1880, Collamer, Ohio). Disciple. He was the founder in 1830 of The Wester Eclectic Institute in Hiram, Ohio, which became Hiram College> "He had a natural gift for music and was one of the earliest compilers of hymns and tunes for use in the churches of the Disciples." (Dictionary of American Biography) Compiled An Introduction to Sacred Music (1834), Sacred Melodeon (1849), and The Hymnist; the 1834 book was probably the first tunebook in the Campbell tradition. Hayden was a member of the five-man committee "mutually agreed on" by Campbell and the national Disciple convention to prepare the Christian Hymn Book of 1865 (two of his hymns appeared in this); member of a similar committee to make the 1882 revision of this book's successor, The Christian Hymnal, but died before the work began (one of his hymns appeared in the revised book); he also composed hymn tunes. His brother, William Hayden (1799-1863) is referred to in the DAB as "the Sankey of his day." Both Haydens were associated with the evangelist Walter Scott. --George Brandon, DNAH Archives (with addition by Mary Louise VanDyke)

Sarah Slinn

1758 - 1831 Hymnal Number: d237 Author of "God with us, O glorious name, Let it shine" in A Baptist Hymn Book, Designed Especially for the Regular Baptist Church and All Lovers of Truth Slinn, Sarah. In the Gospel Magazine for July 1779 a hymn in 9 stanzas of 4 lines was given beginning "God with us! 0 glorious Name;" headed "Emanuel; or, God with us. By a Lady," and signed "S. S—N." In Rippon's Baptist Selection, 1787, st. i. ii. vi. iii. iv. with alterations, and in the order named, were given as No. 174, but without signature. In J. Dobell's New Selection, 1806, the same text is repeated as from Wood's Collection The same text was again repeated to modern hymnbooks, and is that now in common use. From D.Sedgwick's manscripts we find the signature "S. S—N." was filled in as Sarah Slinn by him, but his papers do not furnish any authority for the name, nor for the date of 1777 which he has attached thereto in his manuscript note to Dobell's New Selection. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
