ホラティウス・ボナーは「スコットランド讃美歌作家のプリンス」と呼ばれていた。エジンバラ大学を卒業後、1838年にケルソ北部教区の牧師に任命された。1843年のスコットランド教会崩壊後は、スコットランド自由教会に加わり、しばらくの間、教会の「The Border Watch」紙の編集に携わった。 28年間ケルソに滞在した後、エジンバラのチャーマーズ記念教会に移り、生涯そこで仕えた。彼は600以上の讃美歌詩を書いた。彼の死後の追悼式で、友人のE.H.ランディ牧師はこう語った。「ボナーは非常に様々な状況で讃美歌詩を書いた。ある時は近くを流れる小川のせせらぎのそばで過ごしながら、ある時は散策している浜辺に波が砕ける規則的な音にあわせて、ある時は仕事場へと急ぐ汽車の耳障りな音にさらされながら、ある時は彼の上に輝く真夜中の星々の無音のリズムを測りながら。」

Almighty Comforter and Friend
All That I Was

Be Brave, My Brother
Be Still, My Soul, Jehovah Loveth Thee

By the Cross of Jesus Standing
Calm Me, My God

Church Has Waited Long, The
Come, Lord, and Tarry Not
Come, Mighty Spirit

Day After Armageddon, The
Deep Down Beneath the Unresting Surge

Father, Make Use of Me
Father, Our Children Keep
Fear Not the Foe, Thou Flock of God
Few More Years Shall Roll, A
Fill Thou My Life
Finish Thy Work, the Time Is Short
For Lack of Love I Languish
For the Bread and for the Wine
For Thee We Long and Pray
Fresh from the Throne of Glory
From the Cross the Blood Is Falling
From This Bleak Hill of Storms
Give Thou Thy Youth to God
Glory Be to God the Father
(別名:Glory Be to Him Who Loved Us)
Go, Labor On: Spend, and Be Spent
Go Up, Go Up, My Heart
Graves of Ocean, The
Great Ruler of the Land and Sea
Hallelujah for the Cross!
He Called Them, and They Left
He Has Come, the Christ of God
He Is Coming
He Is Near
He Is Risen
He Liveth Long Who Liveth Well
Help Me, My God, to Speak
Here, O My Lord, I See Thee
Here Shall Death’s Triumph End
Holy Father, Hear My Cry
Holy Father, Mighty God
Ho, Ye Thirsty, Parched and Fainting
How Are My Troubles Multiplied
How Long?
How Sweetly Doth He Show His Face
Hymn of the Last Days
I Ask a Perfect Creed
(別名:O True One, Give Me Truth)
I Close My Heavy Eye
I Hear the Words of Love
I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
I Lay My Sins on Jesus
I Shall Be Satisfied
I Thought upon My Sins
I Was a Wandering Sheep
I Weep, but Do Not Yield
Jesu, Savior, Son of God
Jesus, My Sorrow Lies Too Deep
Jesus, Sun and Shield Art Thou
Jesus the Christ of God
Jesus, While This Rough Desert Soil
Judgment, The
Let There Be Light, Jehovah Said
Let Us Draw Near
Lie Down, Frail Body, Here

Mind at Perfect Peace, A
Morning, the Bright and the Beautiful Morning, The
Nay, ’Tis Not What We Fancied It

Night Cometh, The
No Blood, No Altar Now
No, Not Despairingly
No Shadows Yonder
Not to Ourselves Again
Not What I Am, O Lord
Not What These Hands Have Done
(別名:I Bless the Christ of God)
Not with the Light and Vain
Now in Parting, Father, Bless Us
O Everlasting Light
O Love Invisible, Yet Infinite
O Love of God, How Strong and True

O This Soul, How Dark and Blind
Of Old They Sang the Song of Liberty
(別名:Free One Makes You Free, The)
Old Story, The
On the Great Love of God I Lean
On Thee, O Jesus, Strongly Leaning
Only Remembered
Peace to the World
Peace upon Peace, Like Wave on Wave

Preserved by Thine Almighty Power
Rejoice and Be Glad!
Safe Across the Waters
Shadow of the Cross, The
Shall This Life of Mine Be Wasted?
(別名:Like the Eagle, Upward, Onward)
Silent, Like Men in Solemn Haste
Sinful Man Am I, A
Sing Them, My Children
Sinner’s Burial, The
Song of the New Creation
Songs of Gladness
Sounds the Trumpet from Afar
Sower Divine, Sow the Good Seed in Me
Speak, Lips of Mine
Speaketh the Sinner’s Sin Within My Heart
Spirit of Everlasting Grace
Surely, Yon Heaven, Where Angels See God’s Face
That Clime Is Not Like This Dull Clime of Ours
Thee in the Loving Bloom of Morn
There Is a Morning Star, My Soul
These Are the Crowns That We Shall Wear
(別名:That City with the Jeweled Crest)
(別名:Yon City, with the Jeweled Crest)
This Is Not My Place of Resting
This Is the Day of Toil
Through Death to Life
Through Good Report and Evil, Lord
Thy Thoughts Are Here, My God
Thy Way, Not Mine, O Lord
Thy Works, Not Mine, O Christ
Till the Day Dawn
’Tis Thus They Press the Hand and Part
(別名:Still One in Life and One in Death)
To Him Who Spread the Skies
To Jehovah, God of Might
To the Name of God on High
Trustingly, Trustingly
’Twas I That Did It
Unto th’Eternal Hills
Upward Where the Stars Are Burning
Use Me!
We Take the Peace Which He Hath Won
Weep, Pilgrim, Weep
Welcome! Wanderer, Welcome!
When the Weary, Seeking Rest
Where the Faded Flower Shall Freshen
Who Are These, and Whence Came They?
Word Made Flesh, The
(別名:Jesus, Whom Angel Hosts Adore)
Yes, for Me He Careth
Yet There Is Room
