Major Daniel Webster Whittle
(1840-1901) was an American evangelist, Bible teacher and
hymn writer. Through the influence of D. L. Moody, he entered
full-time evangelism and worked with P. P. Bliss and James
McGranahan. He wrote (mostly under pseudonym, El Nathan) the
words for about two hundred hymns, including "Moment
by Moment," "I Know Whom I Have Believed," and "Banner
of the Cross."
