=================================
Borthwick, Jane, daughter of James Borthwick, manager of the North British Insurance Office, Edinburgh, was born April 9, 1813, at Edinburgh, where she still resides. Along with her sister Sarah (b. Nov. 26, 1823; wife of the Rev. Eric John Findlater, of Lochearnhead, Perthshire, who died May 2, 1886) she translated from the German Hymns from the Land of Luther, 1st Series, 1854; 2nd, 1855; 3rd, 1858; 4th, 1862. A complete edition was published in 1862, by W. P. Kennedy, Edinburgh, of which a reprint was issued by Nelson & Sons, 1884.
These translations, which represent relatively a larger proportion of hymns for the Christian Life, and a smaller for the Christian Year than one finds in Miss Winkworth, have attained a success as translations, and an acceptance in hymnals only second to Miss Winkworth's. Since Kennedy's Hymnologia Christiana, 1863, in England, and the Andover Sabbath Hymn Book, 1858, in America, made several selections therefrom, hardly a hymnal in England or America has appeared without containing some of these translations. Miss Borthwick has kindly enabled us throughout this Dictionary to distinguish between the 61 translations by herself and the 53 by her sister. Among the most popular of Miss Borthwick's may be named "Jesus still lead on," and "How blessed from the bonds of sin;" and of Mrs. Findlater's "God calling yet!" and "Rejoice, all ye believers."
Under the signature of H. L. L. Miss Borthwick has also written various prose works, and has contributed many translations and original poems to the Family Treasury, a number of which were collected and published in 1857, as Thoughts for Thoughtful Hours (3rd edition, enlarged, 1867). She also contributed several translations to Dr. Pagenstecher's Collection, 1864, five of which are included in the new edition of the Hymns from the Land of Luther, 1884, pp. 256-264. Of her original hymns the best known are “Come, labour on” and "Rest, weary soul.” In 1875 she published a selection of poems translated from Meta Heusser-Schweizer, under the title of Alpine Lyrics, which were incorporated in the 1884 edition of the Hymns from the Land of Luther. She died in 1897. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]

His hymns were written during his "stay at Herrnhut, and appeared in the Herrnhut Gesang-Buch 1735, and its Appendices. One has passed into English non-Moravian use, viz.:—
Geht, erhbht die Majestat. Supplication. This is No. 1054 in Appendix iii. to the Herrnhut Gesang-Buch, 1735, in 4 stanzas of 10 lines. In the Brüder Gesang-Buch, 1778, it is No. 1069, and in the Historische Nachricht thereto stanzas i., ii. are ascribed to Hehl, and iii., iv. to N. L. von Zinzendorf [Zinzendorf stanzas beginning "Lamm und Haupt, das selbst geglaubt," are included by Knapp in his edition, 1845, of Zinzendorf s Geistliche Lieder, p. 218, and dated 1733]. Translated as:—
Rise, exalt the Majesty, in full, by P. H. Molther, as No. 116, in the Moravian Hymn Book, 1742, with an added stanza iii. from "Lamm und Haupt! es sey geglaubt," by N. L. von Zinzendorf [No. 1089 in Appendix iv. to the Herrnhut Gesang-Buch, 1735, in 1 stanza of 10 lines, and by Knapp, 1845, p. 121, dated May 26, 1736]. In the 1789 and later editions of the Moravian Hymn Book (1886, No. 768), it is greatly altered, and begins, "Rise, exalt our Head and King." Included in Montgomery's Christian Psalmist, 1825, and J. A. Latrobe's Collection, 1841. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]
