Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BONAR, HORATIUS (1808-1889) , Scottish Presbyterian divine, was born in Edinburgh on the 19th of December 18o8, and educated at the high school and university of his native city. After a
term
  of mission
work
  at Leith, he was appointed parish minister of
Kelso
  in 1837, and at the Disruption of 1843 became minister of the newly formed Free
Church
 , where he remained till 1866, when he went to the Chalmers memorial
church
 , Edinburgh. He had in 1853 received the D.D. degree from Aberdeen University, and in 1883 he was
moderator
  of the general assembly of his church. He died on the 31st of July 1889. Bonar was a prolific writer of religious literature, and edited several
journals
 , including the Christian Treasury, the Presbyterian
Review
  and the Quarterly
Journal
  of Prophecy; but his best
work
  was done in hymnology, and he published three
series
  of Hymns of Faith and
Hope
  between 1857 and 1866 (new ed., 1886). Nearly every modern hymnal contains perhaps a score of his hymns, including " Go, labour on," " I heard the voice of Jesus say," " Here, 0 my Lord, I see Thee face to face," " When the weary, seeking rest."
See Horatius Bonar, D.D., a Memorial (1889).
