F.E. Belden, servant of the Lord, lover of Jesus
It’s amazing to me that people who Ellen White influenced
either by their being family members, or being young people to whom she opened her
home and her heart while they sought their schooling. Certainly, the Almighty used
her to infuse in them high purposes and standards and goals. One of these was
her nephew, Frank Belden, in whom Jesus bestowed an amazing gift for hymn
making, 412 hymns in total. The following is taken from website
http://www.iamaonline.com/Bio/Franklin_Edson_Belden.htm
Franklin Edson Belden
1858 - 1945
F. E. Belden was the most prolific writer of hymn tunes,
gospel songs, and related texts in the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist
Church and was referred to as “the sweet singer of Israel.” He was known for
his ability to compose hymns spontaneously as sermons were being delivered and
then perform them at the conclusion of the service.
Belden was born in Battle Creek, Michigan, on March 21,
1858, the first of five children born to Stephen and Sarah Harmon Belden, older
sister of Ellen Harmon White. He began writing music in his late teenage years
following a move to California with his family. Because of poor health, he
moved to Colorado, where he met and then married Harriet MacDearmon, also a
talented musician, in 1881. They returned to Battle Creek in the early 1880s,
where he became involved in the Adventist publishing work.
He and Edwin Barnes, a talented musician who had recently
moved to Battle Creek from England, served as music editors for and
contributors to the Seventh-day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book for Use in Divine
Worship, more widely known as Hymns and Tunes, a collection of over 1100 hymns
published in 1886. Belden, then in his late twenties, contributed over eighty
texts and 87 tunes to the collection, and later also later collaborated with
his cousin, J. Edson White, on several songbooks.
Belden’s name is mainly associated with Christ in Song, the
most popular songbook ever published by the church. He had started working on
the collection in 1884 as Hymns and Tunes was nearing completion. In 1900 he
personally published the completed collection, which was then sold by the
Review and Herald.
In 1905 a disagreement arose between Belden and the General
Conference over the royalties from Hymns and Tunes. Although it was reported
that Belden was greedy and wanted money, in reality he was upset over a
breaking of the original agreement voted by the GC in 1885 that all royalties
from sales of Hymns and Tunes would support the church’s mission work. Belden
had said that he would contribute his music only under that condition.
When the church’s publishing entities were consolidated as
the Review and Herald Publishing Association and the copyright was assigned to
it, Belden did not want his share to go to the publishing house and wrote an
extended letter in 1905 protesting that assignment. The matter remained
unresolved, and Belden, disillusioned, separated himself from Adventism, but
not the Christian faith, at that time.
As late as 1939 and 1940, the matter of Belden’s royalties
was still in question. In response to assertions he was making verbally and in
writing, the SDA General Conference Committee in a meeting on January 22, 1940
approved a draft of a letter to be written by an investigative committee that
would inform Belden that “according to our findings, all arrangements entered
into for the use of the songs were mutually satisfactory to him and the
denomination at the time the negotiations were carried on.”
In 1907 Belden, widely known for his hymn writing and
leadership in the church, and a number of other prominent Adventists were
expelled from the church, branded as apostates and heretics by a committee.
This decision and others made at a time when the church was in turmoil over
theological issues, was reported in the July 12, 1907, Cass City [Michigan]
Chronicle. The announcement was met with dismay by those who were expelled and
by other members of the church.
The following year, Belden published a revised and expanded
edition of CS, which he hoped would serve as a church hymnal and Sabbath School
songbook and would appeal to the young. This version would become the favorite
song collection with members of the church for decades.
Near the end of his work on CS, Belden had begun writing
songs for the noted evangelist Billy Sunday, which were included in Songs for
the King’s Business. Even though it was published in 1909 by Sunday School
Supply House in Chicago, it was advertised in the Review and Herald and
available through the RHPA.
Belden’s uncanny ability to rapidly pen both music and
poetry enabled him to write a song to fit a sermon while it was still being
delivered. At the end of the service he and his wife would perform the newly
created song. They would then give a copy of the manuscript to the preacher as
a souvenir.
Following his death in Cleveland, Ohio, on December 2, 1945,
at age 87, his papers and manuscripts were purchased for $1000 by the church
and given to the SDA Theological Seminary in Takoma Park, Maryland. They are
now available at the Andrews University Library in Berrien Springs, Michigan.
The 1941 Church Hymnal included 22 of Belden’s songs and
hymns. The 1985 Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal includes twelve complete hymns and
four tunes by him, more than provided by any other Adventist contributor.

Belden was born in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1858. He began
writing music in his late teenage years after moving to California with his
family. For health reasons he later moved to Colorado. He returned to Battle
Creek with his wife in the early 1880s, and there he became involved in
Adventist Church publishing. F. E. Belden wrote many hymn tunes, gospel songs,
and related texts in the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Belden was able to rapidly write both music and poetry together which enabled
him to write a song to fit a sermon while it was still being delivered. He also
wrote songs for evangelist Billy Sunday. Though Belden’s later years were
marred by misunderstandings with the church leadership over his royalties, he
did donate his papers and manuscripts to the church’s seminary at his death. He
died on December 2, 1945 in Battle Creek, Michigan.
