After taking Holy Orders, he became third master and chaplain in Shrewsbury School; Curate of Brightwaltham, 1859; of Brinfield, Berks, 1860; Chaplain of the Donative of Barrow Gurney, Bristol, 1864; Vicar of Southleigh, 1869; and Warden of St. James’s College, Southleigh, 1873. He published “The Primer set forth at large for the Use of the Faithful in Family and Private Prayer,” edited from the post-Reformation editions (1864); “Hymns and Lyrics for the Seasons and Saints’ Days of the Church” (1867); “The Espousals of St. Dorothea and other Verses” (1870); “Cantica Sanctorum; or, Hymns for the Black-Letter Saints’ Days in the English and Scottish Calendars, to which are added a few Hymns for Special Occasions” (1880). Gerard Moultrie’s hymns include translations from the Greek, Latin, and German. The following is a favourable example.
Mary Dunlop Moultrie (1837–1866) contributed a number of hymns to her brother’s “Hymns and Lyrics” (1867), where they are distinguished by her initials.
