timeless persons
We TELL their stories so we won’t forget
Only Remembered by What We Have Done
Words by Horatius Bonar (1808 – 1889) Music by Ira D. Sankey (August 28, 1840 – August 13, 1908)
Dr. Horatius Bonar, of Edinburgh, wrote the words of this hymn which still resonates now and it will always as long as life subsist. TimelessPersons is launched to supplement his work by publishing the deeds of great minds from the Niger Delta so we don’t forget.
