Thread Name: Lyr Req: Admiral Blake
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Admiral Blake
Amazon has in its catalogue (albeit "Currently Unavailable"):

Admiral Blake, a song of the sea, written by the author of Whitefriars [J. Robinson, begins: "The Sea, the Sea is England's"] Unknown Binding – 1859
by Charles Henry Purday (author)

So I would assume that means lyrics by Robinson, set to music by Purday.

Purday was a writer of hymn tunes, but I think rarely lyrics.
