Cecil Frances Alexander (April 1818 – 12 October 1895) [1] was an Anglo-Irish hymnwriter and poet. Amongst other works, she wrote " All Things Bright and Beautiful ", " There is a green hill far away " and the Christmas carol " Once in Royal David's City ".
The words are by Cecil Frances Alexander and were first published in her Hymns for Little Children of 1848. The hymn is commonly sung to the hymn tune All Things Bright And Beautiful, composed by William Henry Monk in 1887. Another popular tune is Royal Oak, adapted from a 17th-century English folk tune, "The 29th of May".
The writer's husband, William Alexander, considered it among the best of those written by his wife, with later assessments agreeing on the matter, one early 20th century noting the fine poetic skill of the poet and proclaiming that "she surpassed all other writers of sacred song in meeting a growing demand for children’s hymns".
