Heber was an educated English Anglican Bishop who died at the young age of forty-two. He gained fame at Oxford University for his skill at poetry. He was known to carefully choose his adjectives, use vivid imaginative speech and his works though deeply religious were not heavy and didactic while bringing across important truth. After his death at the young age of forty-two, his hymns were published including the hymn we all love and sing, ‘Holy,Holy,Holy’. “From Greenland’s Icy Mountains’ is another of his many famous poems put to music.
