Born: March 21, 1858, Battle Creek, Michigan. Died: December 2, 1945. |
When he was eight years old, Belden’s family moved to California, where he first composed music. Due to breathing problems, Belden later moved to Colorado. He eventually returned to Battle Creek, Michigan, around age 30. He joined the Review and Herald Publishing Company, and stayed in Battle Creek until about 1910, when he began writing songs for evangelist Billy Sunday.
Belden’s aunt was Ellen Harmon White, one of the pioneers of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Though Belden’s later years were marred by misunderstandings with the leadership of the church over his royalties, he did donate his papers and manuscripts to the church’s seminary at his death.

Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
