The written evidence of Mary Ann
Godfrey Defriez
Baker having written the words to "Master the Temptest is Raging" is printed in her story from the GEORGE
JARVIS & JOSEPH GEORGE DEFRIEZ GENEALOGY--PUBLISHED IN 1957 BY MARGARET J. OVERSON. My grandmother, Grace
JARVIS, gave me a copy in 1966.
I've heard that there has been differences on who wrote the words--Somehow it just doesn't set right when my great-great
grandma, Mary Ann
Godfrey Defriez
Baker said otherwise!
quote:( At one time Grandmother was asked if she desired to have the hymn copyrighted. She answered," No, I should like it to be used wherever people desire to sing it, and to have it do all the good possible.")
If this is the truth, which I believe it is, then I cannot believe
otherwise. I suppose we will find out later--when we cross the veil!!
