George Barrell Cheever
1807 - 1890 Author of "My gracious God, my soul hungers and thirsts" Cheever, George Barrell, D.D., eminent in reform, philanthropy, and literature, born at Hallowell, Maine, April 17, 1807, and graduated at Bowdoin College, 1825. Dr. Cheever was a Congregational Pastor at Salem, Mass., 1833; New York, 1839; and the Church of the Puritans, N. Y., 1846-67. He has published several works, and one, Deacon Giles Distillery, procured him a month's imprisonment, in 1835. In 1831 he edited the American Common Place Book of Poetry, and in 1851 Christian Melodies. The latter contains 19 hymns by him. One of these, "Thy loving-kindness, Lord, I sing," is still in common use. It is adopted in an abbreviated form of 4 stanzas by Dr. Hitchcock, in Hymns & Songs of Praise, N. Y., 1874, where it is dated 1845. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M. A.]
