William Cowper, 1731-1800, was distinguished for his original poetry and hymns, and translations of classical and modern authors. He was a forerunner of the English Romantic movement, and strongly influenced Wordsworth. His hymns "O For a Closer Walk With God," "There is a Fountain Filled With Blood" and "God Moves in a Mysterious Way" will be found in nearly all English-language hymnals. ... [MORE] Works (10) 1.
