Mote falls into the rare category of hymn writers who grew up without religious training (Ref. 2). • Mote’s parents were pub owners. He was apprenticed at a young age by his parents to a cabinetmaker, but found faith when he heard the preaching of John Hyatt in London at age 15 (Ref. 2). • It was during his career as a cabinetmaker that “My Hope is Built on Nothing Less” came into being. One morning in 1834 as he was walking to work, it entered his mind to write a hymn. By the time he got to work, he had the chorus. He wrote four more verses over the course of that day and two additional verses before he was finished (Ref. 3). • Edward Mote became a Baptist minister in 1852, at 55 years of age. • William B. Bradbury (1816-1868) composed the tune, “Solid Rock” for Mote’s text in 1863. Bradbury was a beloved American gospel song composer (Ref. 4). William Bradbury also composed the tunes for “Jesus Loves Me,” “He Leadeth Me,” “Just as I am, Without One Plea,” “Sweet Hour of Prayer,” and “Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us.” • • Background References: • 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_... • 2. https://www.umcdiscipleship.org/resou... • 3. https://faithalone.org/journal/1998i/... • 4. https://www.wholesomewords.org/biogra... • • Keywords: • Words by Edward Mote, Tune by William B.
