ELMHAM

Composer: T. L. Hately

T. L. Hateley wrote more than 40 psalm tunes as well as some secular music. He was the most important musical influence on the Free Church in the years after the Disruption of 1843 and appears in the great portrait of the Disruption meeting of that year. He taught thousands to sing in parts and authored many books as well as lecturing widely on the history of psalmody. Marcus Paul (Great great grand son) Go to person page >

Texts

Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne

Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown,
When Thou camest to earth for me;
But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room
For Thy holy nativity.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.
