Lady Lucy Whitmore

Lady Lucy Whitmore (née, Bridgeman; 22 January 1792 – 17 March 1840) was an English noblewoman and a hymn writer from Shropshire. She was the author of Family prayers for every day in the week (1824), which included fourteen original hymns and went into a second edition in 1827; one of these, "Father, again in Jesus' name we meet", was widely reprinted in hymn collections. Whitmore also published works of religious instruction, including Sunday reading for very little boys and girls (1832) and Morning and evening prayers (1869). She spent much of her life at Dudmaston Hall and was connected through family and friendship to prominent figures of her time.
