There are a couple of hymns that I used to sing when I was in St. Mary's Choir in Akron, Ohio. And so, I decided to do some research on these hymns particularly "O Sacred Heart! O Love Divine!" and through perseverance discovered who the author and composer is. The document "The Hymns of Fr. Theodore A. Metcalf" is a brief chronology of his life and the hymns he arranged, authored and composed and can be correctly attributed to him. It's my hope that it meets with your approval and my hope that someday you'll incorporate his hymns into your own choirs repertoire.
