Charlotte Elliott

Charlotte Elliot (1789-1871) was a poet and hymn writer, belonging to the Church of England. Towards the end of her life, when it became difficult to attend public worship services, she testified, “My Bible is my church. It is always open, and there is my High Priest ever waiting to receive me. There I have my confessional, my thanksgiving, my psalm of praise, and a congregation of whom the world is not worthy – prophets, and apostles, and martyrs, and confessors; in short, all I can want I find there."
