Hawks, Annie Sherwood, has written a number
of hymns, some of them very popular,
but no other so widely useful as "I need
thee every hour," found in this book. Mrs.
Hawks was born in Hoosick, N. Y., May 28,
1835. For many years she resided in
Brooklyn, N. Y., where this hymn was
written in 1872. She was a member of the
Baptist Church in Brooklyn, of which Rev.
Robert Lowry, the musical composer and
hymn writer, was pastor. We hope to be
able to supplement these brief facts at some
later time with additional information concerning
the author of this popular hymn.
