Born: 1623, Bradfield Monachorum, Suffolk, England.

Died: February 4, 1683, Bristol, England.

Buried: South aisle, cathedral church, Bristol, England.

Crossman earned a Bachelor of Divinity at Pembroke College, Cambridge, and was Prebendary of Bristol. After graduation, he ministered to both an Anglican congregation at All Saints, Sudbury, and to a Puritan congregation as well. Crossman sympathized with the Puritan cause, and attended the 1661 Savoy Conference, which attempted to update the Book of Common Prayer so both Puritans and Anglicans could use it. The conference failed, and the 1662 Act of Uniformity expelled some 2,000 ministers from the Church, including Crossman. He recanted shortly thereafter, and was ordained in 1665, becoming a royal chaplain. He received a post at Bristol in 1667, and became Dean of Bristol Cathedral in 1683.

Crossman’s works include his hymns in The Young Man’s Meditation, or some few Sacred Poems upon Select Subjects, and Scriptures, 1664.

Hymns:

  1. Farewell, Poor World, I Must Be Gone
  2. My Life’s a Shade, My Days
  3. My Song Is Love Unknown
  4. Sweet Place
