Lelia N. Morris

Lelia Naylor Morris (April 15, 1862 – July 23, 1929) was an American Methodist hymnwriter.

Later, she and her sister and her mother ran a millinery shop in McConnelsville.

The couple were active in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and attended camp meetings at places such as Old Camp Sychar in Mount Vernon and Sebring Camp in Sebring.

In 1913, her eyesight began to fail; her son thereupon constructed for her a blackboard 28 feet (8.5 m) long with oversized staff lines, so that she could continue to compose.

Around 1928, she and her husband moved to live with their daughter in Auburn, New York, where she died.
