William Cowper’s (1731-1800) life was one full of pain and sorrow.  He lost his mother at the age of 6 or 7 from the birth of his brother, John. He was bullied in school for years. His family was of modest means, and he was exceptionally bright. He was denied permission to marry his first love by her father. He suffered several bouts of sever depression and insanity throughout his life including several attempts to end his life. Throughout this time, God put several individuals into his life John Newton, Mary Unwin, and Lady Austin.

Some of the more famous of Cowper’s hymns are: “God Moves in a Mysterious Way,” O For a Closer Walk with God,” and “There is a Fountain Filled With Blood.”
