1831 - 1905 Author of "Arise and Sing" Walmsley, Robert, was b. at Manchester March 18, 1831, went to Sale in 1870, where he was till 1904 in business as a jeweller, and d. at Sale Oct. 30, 1905. He was a Congregationalist, and was for 28 years connected with the work of the Manchester Sunday School Union, many of his hymns being written for the annual Whitweek Festival. He published 44 of them, with a preface dated Dec. 1900, as Sacred Songs for Children of all Ages. They are simple, musical, full of a deep love of God, of the works of God in nature, and of little children, and deserve to be more extensively used. The best-known of the longer hymns are:— 1. O praise our God to-day; Ye people haste to pay. [Praise to God.] Dated 1899, and included in his Sacred Songs, &c, 1900, No. 25. 2. Praise the Lord, His works exalt Him. [Praise to God.] Dated 1888. In his Sacral Songs, &c, 1900, No. 31. 3. The sun declines, o'er land and sea. [Evening,] Dated 1893. In his Sacred Songs, Dec., 1900, No. 38. It was given in the Scotch Church Hymnary, 1898. For these biographical details and dates we are indebted to the author's daughter. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)

Henry Walpole

1558 - 1595 Author of "Why do I use my paper, ink, and pen" Walpole, Henry, was born in 1558 at Docking, Norfolk. He studied at Peterhouse, Cambridge, but did not take his degree; then at Gray's Inn, finally in the English Colleges at Rheims and Rome. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1584 at Rome. He was sent to England in 1593, and landed Dec. 6, but was at once arrested, taken to York Castle, sent to the Tower of London, and finally to York, where, after being put through a form of trial, he was executed April 7/17, 1595 (De Backer, 1898, viii., 972; Dict. Nat. Biog., lix., 164, &c.). In 1581 Walpole contributed some verses to Stephen Vallenger's True Report of the death of Edmund Campion, S.J., the best-known being "Why do I use my paper, ink and pen" (see the Month, 1872, p. 118; Parker Society Select Poetry, 1845, p. 224). During his last imprisonment he wrote the well-known Prisoner's Song, beginning "My thirsty soul desires her draught" (p. 13, ii.), which is still sung in R. C. churches. See further Dublin Review, Oct. 1903, p. 354. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)
