Charlotte Elliot
Charlotte Elliott (March 18, 1789 – September 22, 1871) was an English poet and hymn writer. Charlotte spent the first 32 years of her life in Clapham. She was an invalid and often a great sufferer. In 1823, she moved to Brighton where she later died. She was a member of the Church of England. She wrote about 150 hymns and many poems, some of which were printed anonymously, with Just As I AM probably the best-known.

What a great life and testament? Despite her handicap, she knew that life was a gift and God's grace to her. Her labor for the Lord was not to build up personal merit but to give thanks. I will reference her in a sermon on 9/25/2022 when the theme is "Evangelical hymns of the Anglical Communion." Thank you, Charlotte. Praying for the repose of your eternal life. Amen.
