Famous Hymn Writer


Robert Lowery was instrumental in helping organize a mission church that became the church where we are. In the 1860's or so he wrote "Christ Arose," "Nothing but the Blood," and others. He wrote the music to a hymn written by a member of this church, Annie Hawks; the beloved hymn is "All the Way My Savior Leads Me." This monument was erected in front of this church, Sixth Avenue, in Brooklyn.
