About the author
Born in Mendham, New Jersey, in 1818, Arthur Cleveland Coxe was the son of the prominent Presbyterian minister Samuel Hanson Cox. He graduated from the University of New York in 1838, studied at General Theological Seminary, and entered the Episcopal ministry in the early 1840s.
Coxe served as rector in Hartford and Baltimore before becoming the second Episcopal bishop of Western New York in 1865, a role he held until his death in 1896. He was known as an energetic church leader and a visible voice in nineteenth-century Anglican debates.
Alongside his ministry, he wrote widely as a poet, essayist, and hymn writer. Many readers remember him for works of devotional and religious verse, which helped make A. Cleveland Coxe a familiar name well beyond the churches he served.
