Wikipedia:

Horatius Bonar (/həˈreɪʃəs ˈbɒnˌɑːr, ˈbɒnər/; 19 December 1808 – 31 July 1889) was a Scottish churchman and poet who was a contemporary and acquaintance of Robert Murray M’cheyne. He is principally remembered as a prodigious hymnodist. Friends knew him as Horace Bonar. Licensed as a preacher, he did mission work in Leith for a time, and in November 1837 he settled at Kelso as minister of the new North Church founded in connection with Thomas Chalmers’s scheme of church extension. He became exceedingly popular as a preacher, and was soon well known throughout Scotland.[3]
