Reginald Heber had a natural aptitude toward poetry and developed a keen and growing interest in hymnody.

He sought to lift the literary quality of hymns, and he also dreamed of publishing a collection of high-caliber hymns

It was during the sixteen years in an obscure parish of Hodnet that Heber wrote all 57 of his hymns, including the great missionary hymns, “From Greenland’s Icy Mountains,” which exhorted missionaries to take the gospel to faraway places like Greenland’s icy mountains,” and “India’s coral strand.”

This hymn represented an earnest desire for Reginald, for he felt God was calling him as a missionary to “India’s coral strand.”

His desire was fulfilled in 1822, when, at age 40, he was appointed to oversee the Church of England’s ministries in India.

It was after his death that his widow, finding his 57 hymns in a trunk, succeeded in publishing his Hymns Written and Adapted to the Weekly Service of the Church Year.

In this volume was the great Trinitarian hymn based on Revelation 4:8-11, “Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty.”
