Kate Hankey: The Hymn Writer Who Loved to Tell the Story

Church History

This episode of Church History delves into the life of Arabella Katherine Hankey, born in 1834 in Clapham, London. Raised in a wealthy evangelical family, Kate's life was shaped by Christian values, education, and social prominence. Her deep commitment to missionary work and evangelism continued despite a serious illness in 1866, during which she wrote the poems that became the beloved hymns "I Love to Tell the Story" and "Tell Me the Old, Old Story."
