William Whiting (1825–1878)

MODERN hymnody is rich in hymns for special purposes and occasions, among which the hymn of William Whiting (1825–1878) “For Those at Sea” is a great favourite. Mr. Whiting was for some years master of Winchester College Choristers’ School. He published “Rural Thoughts and other Poems” (1851), and contributed about a dozen hymns to various hymnals, the most popular of which is the one given here.
