Alexander Stewart

Full Name: Stewart, Alexander A. (often indexed as Stewart, A.1)

Alexander Stewart was a hymn writer active in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He was born in 1843 and died in 1923. Hymnological records identify him as the author of one or more hymn texts included in English-language Christian hymnals.

Documented biographical information beyond his birth and death years is limited in standard hymn reference works. His name appears in hymn indexes as the author of texts used in congregational worship, indicating participation in the production of sacred hymnody during his lifetime. Details concerning his place of birth, education, ministerial service, denominational affiliation, or other professional activities are not preserved in commonly available hymnological summaries.

Stewart’s historical record is therefore based primarily on his attribution as a hymn text author and the inclusion of his work in published hymn collections.

Note:
In hymnological records, some authors are indexed with minimal metadata when only their name and text attribution are preserved and no additional historical records have been located. Alexander Stewart’s entry is an example of such a case, where the extant record consists solely of his attribution as hymn text author in historical publications. Additional archival research beyond standard hymn indexes would be required to recover personal or career details.
