Tell Me the Stories of Jesus History

This information comes from Stories from The Children’s Songbook by Sister Pat Graham (more information on that book HERE).

William Henry Parker [the author] apprenticed in machine-construction in a lace-making plant, and was later head of an insurance company. In 1885, he wrote a text with six stanzas for the anniversary of the Chelsea Street Baptist Church in Nottingham, England. As an active member, he wrote many hymns for Sunday School anniversaries. Fifteen of his hymns appear in the National Sunday School Union’s Sunday School Hymnary, 1905.

In 1903, Frederic A  Challinor [the composer] composed music for the six stanzas of W. H. Parker, and the song was the prize-winning rime in a competition sponsored by the National Sunday School Union, London. Challinor had labored in a brickyard and worked as a coal miner and in a china factory prior to earning degrees from the Royal College of Music and an English university. He published over 1,000 compositions and wrote his own verses to many hymns and songs. Some of his work is published in a Methodist hymnal and in the Sunday School Hymnary, 1905.
