Arthur Campbell Ainger

[1] and wrote the text of more than ten Christian hymns,[2] one of notability being God Is Working His Purpose Out (1894).

[5] Ainger also wrote several books [1] However he is most well known for His Hymn ‘God of our fathers, unto Thee’ which originally was written to exemplify the idea that Heaven is the fatherland of the Christian, yet was later altered by J.M.Morris to glorify England as the ‘New Jerusalem.’ Original words: 1 God of our fathers, unto Thee Our fathers cried in danger's hour, And then Thou gavest them to see The acts of Thine Almighty power.

For eastern realms, for western coasts, For islands wash'd by wave an’ sea, The praise be given, Lord of Hosts, Not unto us but unto Thee.

With grateful hearts, we sing Thy praise, For all the wonders Thou hast done, And as we journeyed through life's maze, We’d trust the Father, Ghost, and Son.
