Julia Anne Elliott

Julia Anne Elliott (née Marshall; 1809–1841) was an English poet and hymnwriter.

With rarely an exception, Elliott's hymns bear the stamp of refined poetic taste, and all of them possess a deep religious feeling.

[3] Julia Anne Marshall was born at Hallsteads, Watermillock, Ullswater, England, in 1809.

Her three spinster sisters (Ann, Catharine and Eleanor) moved to a house named Old Church, near Hallsteads, by 1829.

[4] Smith (1903) and Hatfield (1884) remarked that it was Hyde's most familiar hymn in the U.S.[3][11] Smith (1903) remarked that Elliot's best hymn -fine in the attractiveness of its theme, and great in its poetic strength- is that on "The Love of Christ", beginning with the line, "We love Thee, Lord, yet not alone."

"[15] Julia Anne Elliott died of scarlet fever on 3 November 1841, her fifth child, Julius, having been born on 24 October 1841.
