Phoebe Hinsdale Brown (1783-1861)

Brown was orphaned at the age of two. At age nine, she began living with a relative who ran a county jail. There, says her son,

…were years of intense and cruel suffering. The tale of her early life, which she has left her children, is a narrative of such deprivations, cruel treatment, and toil, as it breaks my heart to read.

At age 18, kind people sent her to school at Claverack, New York, where she learned to write, and converted to Christ. In 1805, she married Timothy H. Brown, a painter, and subsequently lived at East Windsor and Ellington, Connecticut; Monison, Massachusetts; and Marshall, Illinois.

Most of her hymns were written at Monison, Massachusetts. Through a life of poverty and trial she was a “most devoted mother, wife, and Christian.” Her son, the Rev. S.R. Brown, became the first American missionary to Japan, and two of her grandchildren followed in his footsteps.

Hymns:

  1. As Once the Savior Took His Seat
  2. Go, Messenger of Love, and Bear
  3. I Love to Steal Awhile Away
  4. Welcome, Ye Hopeful Heirs of Heaven
