Frederick William Faber lived from 1814-1863 and grew up in
Westmorland, England. Though he held to Calvinism in his youth,
Frederick had given it up 1837, when he became a fellow of the
National Scholars Foundation. He wrote many hymns, poems and other
works, including Faith of Our Fathers, The Pilgrims of the Night,
The Eternal Father, All for Jesus, Spiritual Conferences, and The
Foot of the Cross.
Frederick Faber also founded the Wilfridian religious community at
St. Wilfrid's, with John Henry Newman as the eventual superior when
the order merged with the Oratory of St. Philip Neri. He died on
September 26, 1863.
