Author & Composer
F. E. Belden
1858–1945 · Battle Creek, Michigan · United States
Born in Battle Creek, Michigan, he started writing music as a teenager in California and came back to Battle Creek in the early 1880s to work in Adventist publishing. He could turn out words and music together fast enough to finish a song while the sermon it matched was still being preached. Quarrels with church leaders over royalties clouded his later years, yet he left his manuscripts to the church's seminary.
