Daniel Webster Whittle (1840–1901) was an American poet, hymn writer, evangelist, and Bible teacher. Influenced by Dwight L. Moody, he entered full-time evangelism and worked with P. P. Bliss and James McGranahan. He wrote (mostly under pseudonym, El Nathan) the words for about two hundred hymns, including "Moment by Moment", "I Know Whom I Have Believed", and "Banner of the Cross". Whittle reached the rank of major in the American Civil War,and for the rest of his life was known as "Major" Whittle.
Jesus is coming! O sing the glad word!
Coming for those He redeemed by His blood,
Coming to reign as the glorified Lord!
Jesus is coming again!
...
There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
...
Dying with Jesus, by death reckoned mine;
Living with Jesus, a new life divine;
Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine,
...
“Neither do I condemn thee,”
O words of wondrous grace;
Thy sins were born upon the cross,
Believe, and go in peace.
...
Preach the Gospel, sound it forth,
Tell of free and full salvation;
Spread the tidings o’er the earth,
...
