Priscilla J. Owens
1829–1907 · Baltimore, Maryland · United States
A Baltimore public school teacher for 49 years, Owens poured her spare energy into the Sunday school at Union Square Methodist Church. Most of her hymns were written for children's services there. We Have Heard a Joyful Sound and Will Your Anchor Hold both come from that work.
