Hi Mike,
The Web has a lot of great information on B.B. McKinney, a great Southern Baptist hymn writer. Believe it or not, he actually wrote 149 hymns over his lifetime. He was editor of the very famous Broadman hymnal.
More information can be found here:

Of course, most people know him by some of the great hymns he wrote. Some of my personal favorites:
- Let Others See Jesus in You
- Breathe on Me
- Glorious Is Thy Name
- Have Faith in God
- Lord, Lay Some Soul Upon My Heart
- Serve the Lord with Gladness
- Blessed Savior, We Adore Thee
Perhaps others can add some more info. It's really neat to find people on this forum with connections to some of the great hymn writers of the past!
God bless,
Steve
