Benjamin Mascall was an English translator and hymnodist active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Working within the Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England, he contributed to the development of English hymn literature through his translation work. Mascall's translations helped make ecclesiastical and liturgical texts more accessible to English-speaking congregations. Though details of his life remain sparse in standard hymnological references, his work reflects the Victorian and Edwardian era's engagement with translating and adapting historical hymnic material for contemporary worship.
