Thomas Cott Griggs (19 June 1845 – 12 August 1903)[1] was an English-born Latter-day Saint director and hymnwriter.
While in Boston, Griggs was also made a teacher in the LDS Church's Aaronic priesthood; his call to this office was given by Apostle George Q. Cannon.
With the outbreak of the American Civil War, the Griggs heeded the counsel of LDS Church leaders to move to Utah Territory.
Besides his work with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Griggs also assisted in the compilation of the Latter-day Saint Psalmody and the first song book published by the Deseret Sunday School Union.
Griggs had also been made a member of the General Board of the Deseret Sunday School Union in 1889, and served in that position until his death in 1903.
