Edward Bickersteth was ordained as an Anglican minister in 1815, and later became the secretary of the Church Missionary Society. In 1825, while he was secretary, he came in contact with Anthony Norris Groves who had a financially rewarding dental practice. Groves considered 2 ways of offering himself - either his money or his time. Bickersteth responded to him, "If you are called of the Lord to the work, money cannot be set against it; it is men whom the Lord sends and He stands in need of men more than money." (Groves, "Memoir, p. 28). A few years later, Groves sailed for Baghdad as a missionary and stayed there for 3 years. He then labored in India for another 19 years. Groves was influential among the Brethren and was the brother-in-law of George Mueller.
"Bickersteth's Christian Psalmody" (1833) comprised over 700 hymns , to which he subsequently added another 200. "Christian Psalmody" went through 59 editions in 7 years. Some have attributed this hymn to Horatius Bonar. - Songs of the Spirit by Martin
