Sarah White Livermore (1789–1874) was a 19th-century American teacher and writer of fugitive poetry and prose. She was a lyricist of several hymns,[1][2] and a magazine writer as well.[3] Livermore spent most of her life teaching school.[4] With Phebe Abbot, she established a Sunday school in Wilton, New Hampshire in May 1816, connected with the Congregational church. It was one of the first, if not the first, in the U.S. to be devoted especially and wholly to religious instruction.[5]
