William Orcutt Cushing (1823-1902) was an American
minister and hymn writer. After the death of his wife in
1870 and with declining health, he retired from the ministry and began writing hymns. He wrote over 300 hymns, including "Under
His Wings," "When He Cometh," "Ring
the Bells of Heaven", "Follow On," and "Hiding
in Thee." |
