He was a notable preacher, and author of multiple hymns.Swain was born Feb. 26, 1821 in Concord, New Hampshire.Swain graduated from Dartmouth College, Phi Beta Kappa in 1841, and Andover Theological Seminary in 1846. In 1847, he married Julia Maria Allen and took a position as a Congregational minister of the Pearl Street Church in Nashua, New Hampshire. In 1852 he became minister of the Central Congregational Church in Providence, Rhode Island. Swain required that this new church be completely free of debt when he accepted his call.In 1858 two hymns that he wrote were published in the Sabbath Hymn Book (a hymnal), anonymously. His authorship was determined "only recently" before a 1907 Dictionary of Hymnology was published. The two hymns are "My soul, weigh not thy life" (The Good Fight of Faith) and "My soul, it is thy God" (The Christian Race). He also wrote "My soul, whene'er thou shalt arrive", published in about 1840. These hymns appeared in 56, 21, and 2 hymnals, respectively, that were published during 1840 to 1920.He wrote five sermons that were published as booklets: Our Banners Set Up (1861), God in the Strife (1861), On the Death of President Lincoln (1865), On the Death of Rowell Park Perry and Lemuel Grosvenor Perry (1867), and God's Ownership of the Sea (1869)He was "active" in the 1845-founded Rhode Island Institute of Instruction (predecessor of the National Education Association Rhode Island).He was the commencement speaker at Wheaton Female Seminary (now Wheaton College) in 1864. He spoke in 1861 on "The Sea", and in 1864 on "Puritan Education". He also gave welcoming addresses in some years.He also served as secretary for the Evangelical Consociation of Rhode Island.He died July 14, 1869, in Providence, while still minister.".
