From Quiz A Christmas Carol For You

Answer: Yorkshire

The words of this hymn were written by John Byrom around 1750 and on the original manuscript one finds the words, "Christmas Day. For Dolly", Dolly being Byrom's daughter. By the 1760s the six verses of the hymn were set to a memorable tune from the North of England, called "Yorkshire". The other options are all Christmas connected: "St Louis" to "O Little Town of Bethlehem", "Winchester Old" to "While Shepherds Watched their Flocks by Night", and "Regent Square" to "Angels from the Realms of Glory". A personal memory: my first Christmas away from home, I was in the U.K. and taken by my hosts to their local church for the midnight service, and this was the opening hymn. It is much more common in the U.K. than in America, and I had never heard it before. It was a marvellous experience, as the procession made its way around the candle-lit church to the accompaniment of this powerful tune. (Submitted by Ampelos)

From Quiz Things Bright & Beautiful: C F Alexander's story

Answer: Cecil Frances

Fanny Humphreys was born in Dublin - some sources say Wicklow - in the early 1800s. In some sources you will see the date given as 1823, but it is said that her birth record was altered to 1818 when she married a man six years her junior; which would have been regarded as scandalous in polite society at that time. As a child, she was a gifted poet and was encouraged by her father, Major John Humphreys, who became land agent to the Marquess of Abercorn and they moved to Strabane, Co Tyrone. Many of her early poems and hymns were written while she lived at Milltown House, just outside Strabane. In 1848 or 1850 (sources differ) she married a cleric, William Alexander, a church of Ireland rector. He was later to become Bishop of Derry and Raphoe, and Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of Ireland.

From Quiz Come Worship with Me!

Answer: Amazing Grace

This hymn must be one of the best known and best loved of all protestant hymns. It was written by former slave trader, John Newton (1726-1807), and appeared in a book of hymns entitled "Olney Hymns" which Newton published in 1779. Newton was a prolific hymn writer. "How sweet the name of Jesus sounds" and "Glorious things of thee are spoken" are other examples of his wonderful words still being sung today. Chris Tomlin added a chorus to "Amazing Grace" in 2006: "My chains are gone, I've been set free...". Chris says in the notes to his album "See the morning" that he was inspired to write this chorus after doing some research into Newton's life. He also says that the last verse quoted in the question above was actually Newton's last verse. "When we've been there ten thousand years bright shining as the sun..." (with which many of us are more familiar) was added years later by another writer. Information from John Pollock's "Amazing Grace: the life of John Newton" and Chris Tomlin's album "See the morning".
