 田舎の医師、農家であったSeth Hastingsの息子で、妻はMary Seymour。彼は農家の少年として成長し、冬には学校まで約10キロの道のりを歩いて登校した。彼は音楽教師として働きはじめた。1823年にはニューヨーク州ユティカで、"Western Recorder"紙の編集者となる。1832年から亡くなるまで、Hastingsは聖歌隊を訓練し、宗教音楽の発展に努め、およそ1,000曲の賛美歌のメロディと、600曲の歌詞を書いた。ニューヨーク市のユニオン・セオロジカル・セミナリーの学長となった、彼の息子のThomas Samuel Hastings(1827-1911)は彼についてこう言っている。

 「彼は敬虔で真面目なクリスチャンであり、熱心な学生、そして強固な意志を持つ働きでであり、死の3日前までペンを置くことはありませんでした。」

作詞作品:
Be Tranquil, O My Soul
Before Thy Footstool Kneeling
Bleeding Hearts Defiled by Sin
Bright Angels on the Wing
Child of Sin and Sorrow
Child of Sorrow, Child of Care
Children, Hear the Melting Story
Delay Not, O Sinner, Draw Near
Drooping Souls, No Longer Mourn
Dying Souls, Fast Bound in Sin
Father, We for Our Children Plead
For Those in Bonds as Bound with Them
Forbid Them Not, the Savior Cried
Forget Thyself, Christ Bids Thee Come
Forgive My Folly, O Lord Most Holy
Forgive Us, Lord, to Thee We Cry
Gently, Lord, O Gently Lead Us
Go Forth on Wings of Fervent Prayer
Go, Tune Thy Voice to Sacred Song
God of Mercy, Hear Our Prayer
God of the Morning Ray
God of the Nations, Bow Thine Ear
Hail to the Brightness of Zion's Glad Morning!
He That Goeth Forth with Weeping
Heirs of an Immortal Crown
How Calm and Beautiful the Morn
Hosanna to the King
How Tender Is Thy Hand
I Look to Thee, O Lord, Alone
I Love the Lord, Whose Gracious Ear
In This Calm, Impressive Hour
In Time of Fear, When Trouble's Near
Jesus, Full of Every Grace
Jesus, Merciful and Mild
Jesus, Save My Dying Soul
Jesus, While Our Hearts Are Bleeding
Lord, I Would Come to Thee
Lord Jehovah Lives, The
Lord of the Harvest, Bend Thine Ear
Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned
Now Be the Gospel Banner
Now from Labor and from Care
O God of Abraham, Hear
O Lord, Behold Us at Thy Feet
O Savior, Lend a Listening Ear
O Tell Me, Thou Life and Delight of My Soul
O Why Should Gloomy Thoughts Arise?
Peace, Peace, I Leave with You
Peace to Thee, O Favored One
Pilgrims in This Vale of Sorrow
Return, O Wanderer, to Thy Home
Rosy Light Is Dawning, The
Savior Bids Us Watch and Pray, The
Savior, Hear Us Through Thy Merit
Savior, I Look to Thee
Savior of Our Ruined Race
Savior, Thy Gentle Voice
Soft and Holy Is the Place
That Warning Voice, O Sinner, Hear
They Have Gone to the Land
Thou God of Sovereign Grace
Today the Savior Calls
Wherever Two or Three May Meet
Why That Look of Sadness
Why That Soul's Commotion?
Within These Quiet Walls, O Lord
Zion, Dreary and in Anguish
