Bryan Jeffery Leech describes himself as "half and half" having spent almost as many years in the United States as in his native England. He was born in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, but spent his childhood and teenage years in Huddersfield, Yorkshire. When he was eighteen his family moved back to Essex (to Frinton-on-sea) and here he met Christ. After a stint in the Navy, he enrolled at London Bible College (then affiliated with London University) and then came to the U.S. to study at Barrington College and North Park Seminary. In 1958 he entered the ministry of the Evangelical Covenant Church and until 1975 served pastorates in Boston, Montclair, San Francisco, and Santa Barbara. During the latter two pastorates he served on his denomination's Hymnal Commission, and in 1973 won the Key '73 Hymn Prize for his selection, "Let God Be God."
Mr. Leech did not discover his musical talent until he was in his mid-thirties. Since that time he has written numerous songs and hymns, the best known being "The Hiding Place." For the past six years he has been a free-lance writer, preacher, teacher and song-writer. Together with Tom Fettke he has written two cantatas "Dove Descending" (for Pentecost) and the Christmas work, "The Best of News." His songs have been recorded by Paul Sandberg on four albums, "The Hiding Place," "Safely Through the Night," "Welcome to the Family" (The Wondrous Cross) and an entire L.P. of his music, "Lately, Have You Seen the Sun?" He is the author of 18 octavos published mainly by Fred Bock Music Company, Inc., and Lillenas. Three musical plays have come from his pen, "Ebenezer" based on Dicken's "A Christmas Carol," "Resurrection" (published by Fred Bock Music Company, Inc.), and "A Tale of Two Brothers" based on the parable of the prodigal son. Mr. Leech has his own weekly half-hour program, "Morning Song" which is heard on KDB, Santa Barbara's most listened-to easy-listening station.
