Thread Name: Best 19th Century Gospel Lyrics Site?
Subject: RE: Best 19th Century Gospel Lyrics Site?
Masato, I love the name approach to Cyber Hymnal. Here are more.

Fanny Crosby 1820-1915 wrote the lyrics for hundreds of Gospel songs.

Here are just a few people who wrote music for Crosby words and also others or even their own.

William Bradbury 1816-1868. He's early & I ignored him until I found him responsible for setting a Fanny Crosby poem. I guess one can hardly ignore the composer of Woodworth for "Just as I am." He's early enough to still be naming his tunes instead of naming them by the words as became more common later.

William Howard Doane, 1832-1915
Robert Lowry, 1826-1899
George C. Stebbins 1846-1945
William J. Kirkpatrick 1838-1921
