Bullock was the Anglican rector of St. Paul’s in Trinity, Newfoundland; rector of St. Luke’s Church, Halifax, Nova Scotia; and—when the church was designated a cathedral by Bishop Herbert Binney in 1864—St. Luke’s first dean. Bullock’s works include:
Bullock’s descendants relate a family story that he was once asked by a parishioner why he had not written a verse of “We Love Thy Place, O God” about the pulpit. He replied:
What would I write?
We love thy pulpit Lord,
For there the word of man
Lulls the worshiper to sleep
As only sermons can.
