Reginald Heber and the hymn that made him immortal
A portrait of Reginald Heber, Bishop of Calcutta, whose sudden verse gave birth to a lasting hymn. From his birth in Cheshire on April 21, 1783, to his Oxford prize, to the sermon in Wrexham that sparked his most enduring work, “From Greenland’s icy mountains,” the piece traces Heber’s swift rise, missionary zeal, and final death in India in 1823, highlighting the hymn’s global reach and the life that shaped it.
