Person Name: Unbekanntes Hymnal Title: Hymns from the Land of Luther Author of "Submission" in Hymns from the Land of Luther In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Grant Colfax Tullar
1869 - 1950 Hymnal Title: The Bible School Hymnal Composer of "[Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side]" in The Bible School Hymnal Grant Colfax Tullar was born August 5, 1869, in Bolton, Connecticut. He was named after the American President Ulysses S. Grant and Vice President Schuyler Colfax. After the American Civil War, his father was disabled and unable to work, having been wounded in the Battle of Antietam. Tullar's mother died when he was just two years old so Grant had no settled home life until he became an adult. Yet from a life of sorrow and hardship he went on to bring joy to millions of Americans with his songs and poetry.
As a child, he received virtually no education or religious training. He worked in a woolen mill and as a shoe clerk. The last Methodist camp meeting in Bolton was in 1847. Tullar became a Methodist at age 19 at a camp meeting near Waterbury in 1888.
He then attended the Hackettstown Academy in New Jersey. He became an ordained Methodist minister and pastored for a short time in Dover, Delaware. For 10 years he was the song leader for evangelist Major George A. Hilton. Even so, in 1893 he also helped found the well-known Tullar-Meredith Publishing Company in New York, which produced church and Sunday school music. Tullar composed many popular hymns and hymnals.
His works include: Sunday School Hymns No. 1 (Chicago, Illinois: Tullar Meredith Co., 1903) and The Bible School Hymnal (New York: Tullar Meredith Co., 1907). One of Grant Tullar's most quoted poems is "The Weaver":
My Life is but a weaving
Between my Lord and me;
I cannot choose the colors
He worketh steadily.
Oft times He weaveth sorrow
And I, in foolish pride,
Forget He sees the upper,
And I the under side.
Not til the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly,
Shall God unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why.
The dark threads are as needful
In the Weaver's skillful hand,
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned.
He knows, He loves, He cares,
Nothing this truth can dim.
He gives His very best to those
Who chose to walk with Him.

Walter Hately
1843 - 1907 Person Name: Walter Hately, 1843-1907 Hymnal Title: The Book of Praise Composer of "ST. HELEN" in The Book of Praise Died: January 25, 1907, Edinburgh, Scotland.
Mr. Walter Hately was designed by his father for the musical profession. He began the pianoforte in Edinburgh, but spent a good deal of time studying at Leipzig. During two summers he went there for three months at a time, and afterwards he spent two years there under Plaidy. His time was mostly occupied in pianoforte teaching. As a boy he learned the violin, but here was then no demand for teaching it, and he gave it up.
He taught pianoforte classes at the Merchant Company’s Schools and later at the Church of Scotland Training College. He also was a tutor in the St. George’s Correspondence Classes, connected with the Edinburgh University Examinations for women.
But his most congenial work was as precentor of Free St. George’s Church. The respect in which Mr. Walter Hately was held in the Free Church body in Edinburgh was shown by his election to the Post of President of the new “Edinburgh Free Church Praise Union," which consisted of the conductors of Psalmody, with two representatives from each choir.
Mr. Hately has published a number of songs and pianoforte pieces, and has contributed hymn tunes and anthems to the devotional books of the Free Church.
