Thomas Crawford

Crawford, Thomas, was born in 1850 at Falkirk, Scotland, and now (1906) resides at Stroud Green, London. His hymn:—
Raise the song of triumph, swell the strains of joy [Service for Christ], gained a first prize for words and music (both original) in a S. S. Union competition, 1883. Both are in the Sunday School Hymnary, 1905, and the words in Voice of Praise, 1887, School Hymns, 1891, and others. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]
