A Bap­tist min­is­ter, Brown served church­es in South Fram­ing­ham and Can­ton, Mas­sa­chu­setts (1859–70).

Retiring from pas­tor­al work due to vo­cal dis­abi­li­ty, he was a con­trib­ut­or and ed­it­or of the Youth’s Com­pan­ion for ov­er 40 years, and a mem­ber of the of­fice staff for the last 20.

From 1880–90, he con­trib­ut­ed hymns more or less re­gu­lar­ly to the quar­tet and an­ti­phon­al cho­rus ser­vice at the Rug­gles Street Church in Bo­ston, Mas­sa­chu­setts.
