William Cowper
William Cowper was a hymn writer whose sacred texts remain central to English-language hymnody and appear among favourite settings from the Australian Hymn Book.
His work as a songwriter is heard on the choral hymn programmes Sing Out With Joy (MD 3032) and Songs and Praises (MD 3142), including the text O for a Closer Walk with God.
