Thomas Ken

1637–1711

Composer & Lyricist

English Anglican bishop and hymn writer whose evening and morning hymns, particularly 'Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow' (the Doxology) and 'Awake My Soul,' became foundational to English hymnody. Ken's metrical psalms and devotional verse exemplified the Restoration period's approach to congregational song. His works remain widely sung in Anglican and broader Protestant worship.
