George Matheson Born: March 27, 1842, Glasgow, Scotland.

Died: August 28, 1906, Avenell House, North Berwick, Edinburgh, Scotland.

Buried: Family vault, Glasgow Necropolis.

Born with poor vision, Matheson’s eyesight gradually worsened until he was almost totally blind. However, he was academically gifted, and his sisters learned Latin, Greek, and Hebrew to help him study. After becoming a minister in the Church of Scotland, he pastored in the resort town of Innelan for 18 years. Due to his ability to memorize sermons and entire sections of the Bible, listeners were often unaware he was blind.

In 1886, Matheson became pastor of St. Bernard’s Church in Edinburgh, where he served 13 years. He spent the remaining years of his life in literary efforts.

Hymns:

  1. Make Me a Captive, Lord
  2. O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go
