Horatius Bonar nasceu em Old Broughton, Edimburgo, Escócia. Depois de terminar seus estudos na Universidade de Edimburgo, manteve um ministério ativo e poderoso por mais de meio século pastoreando igrejas nessa região até a sua morte em 1889. Ao longo de sua vida, Bonar evitou todo tipo de sensacionalismo, sendo sempre calmo, paciente, sincero, solene e um escritor constante. Seus folhetos e livros são bem recebidos e lidos em todos os círculos cristãos. Ele escreveu mais de 600 hinos, dos quais mais de 100 ainda estão em uso. Bonar tem sido descrito como “o príncipe dos escritores de hinos escoceses”.
