Edward
Perronett
was
born
1726
and
died
1792.
He
was
a
bosom
friend
of
Charles
Wesley.
He
was
an
English
Methodist
and
independent.
He
composed
a
large
number
of
hymns.
This
is
considered
one
of
his
best;
it
was
first
applied
to
the
above
tune,
but
is
now
used
in
thousands
of
tunes,
especially
in
the
United
States.
William
Shrubsole
was
born
1760
at
Canterbury.
In
1782
he
was
appointed
organist
to
Bangor
Cathedral.
He
was
one
of
the
descendants
from
the
Church
of
England.
He
moved
to
London
1783
and
got
a
post
as
organist
at
Lady
Huntingdon's
Chapel.
He
held
it
until
his
death,
1806.
A
monument
was
erected
for
him
1892.
He
is
best
remembered
by
the
composition
of
the
tune
"Miles
Lane,"
which
first
appeared
in
the
Gospel
Magazine
in
1779,
the
same
year
that
the
words
"All
Hail
the
ower,
&c"
were
composed
by
Perronett.
Shrubsole
was
a
lay
minister,
a
fine
musician
and
considered
a
master
in
music.
He
had
a
son
by
the
same
name
of
his
father,
and
he
too
was
a
master
musician.
"Miles
Lane
stands
at
the
head
of
sacred
tunes
in
England
and
Canada,
and
has
heen
given
first
place
by
a
number
of
Americans.
