Mark Guy Pearse
b. 1842 Author of "Savior, for Thy love we praise Thee" Pearse, Mark Guy, son of Mark Guy Pearse, of Camborne, Cornwall, was born at Camborne, Jan. 3, 1842, and educated for the Wesleyan ministry, which he entered in 1863. Mr. Pearse has held important and responsible appointments at Leeds, London, and Bristol, and is at present (1889) associated with the London West Central Wesleyan Mission. His publications number over twenty, in addition to numerous tracts on practical religious subjects, and have attained in several instances to great popularity, Daniel Quorm, and his Religious Notions, and John Tregenoweth being specially well known. His hymns were mostly written in London in 1875, and were published in his little book The Child Jesus, 1875, each hymn having been suggested by one of a series of cartoons illustrative of the life of our Blessed Lord, published by the Wesleyan-Methodist Sunday School Union. Of these hymns the following were included in The Methodist Sunday School Hymn Book, 1879:—
1. Hushed is the raging winter wild. Simeon in the Temple.
2. O'er Bethlehem's hill, in time of old. Epiphany.
3. Saviour, for Thy love we praise Thee. Epiphany.
4. The fierce wind howls about the hills. Flight into Egypt.
These hymns for children are of exceptional merit, and are worthy of attention.
