THIS COLLECTION was derived from Sacred Songs and Solos (words version) believed to have been published in 1921. Sankey and Moody were en route from Glasgow, Scotland to Edinburgh in May 1874, as they were to hold a three-day campaign there. His first and most famous composition was 'The Ninety and Nine'. He also worked with one of the company's most prolific hymnwriters, Fanny Crosby, who became his friend and music-making partner.
Sankey served as Biglow & Main's president from 1895 to 1908. He collaborated with Philip Bliss and then later with James McGranahan and George Stebbins) on a series of "sacred song" collections published in the United States by Hubert Main through his Biglow & Main Co., and in the United Kingdom by Morgan & Scott, publishers also of his most enduring work, the popular Sacred Songs and Solos (widely known as "Sankey & Moody") which eventually ran to over 1200 works and is still in use today. Moody about the contribution that a gospel singer and song leader such as Ira Sankey brought to his meetings, Moody replied, "If we can only get people to have the words of the Love of God coming from their mouths it's well on its way to residing in their hearts." Sankey wrote several hymns and songs, and composed and arranged music for many more.
