According to John Julian, editor, A Dictionary of Hymnology, 1892; second edition 1907 (I use the 1957 Dover edition in two volumes), pp. 951-952, Jeremiah Eames Rankin (1828-1904) in 1878 edited the Gospel Temperance Hymnal; a later book was Gospel Bells. Some poems had appeared earlier, in Songs of New Life (1869). He is said to have been best known for "Labouring and Heavy Laden" and "Rest, Rest, Brother, Rest." - RBW
