This is from Hymnary. net - "Jean Sophia Pigott of the United Kingdom lived from 1845-1882. Born at Leixlip, Ireland, she was a poet and hymn lyricist. She wrote “A royal service and other poems” (1877). She was a sister to William Frederick Pigott, a missionary to China. He was murdered in the 1901 Boxer Rebellion, along with 76 other missionaries working with missionary, Hudson Taylor, but in other parts of China. Taylor was overcome with grief to hear of the massacre, and took much comfort in Pigott’s hymn. She died at Leixlip, Ireland."
Sometimes something precious can come from someone of whom little is known. She also wrote Jesus, I Am Resting Resting. It can also be found by entering 579 above. She may have been helped by the ministry at the Keswick conference in England. She attended in 1879.
Composed by a heart that was full of faith and appreciation for Christ and His accomplished work operating and energizing within it, this hymn still infuses faith into those who sing it. Thank You, Lord, for Your life power!
