William Hordle

1778 - 1849 Author of "This sacred day, great God, we close" Hordle, William, was born in Dorsetshire in the year 1778, and in 1800 became Pastor of the Congregational Church in Harwich, Essex, where, after a useful ministry of half a century, he died Dec, 1849. During part of this time he kept a school, and at his death left considerable property to religious purposes. In the year 1814 Mr. Hordle wrote the hymn, No. 840, in the Baptist Psalms & Hymns (1858), "This sacred day, Great God, we close" (Sunday Evening); but it is not known that he was the author of any other published composition.
