Stephen P. Starke
b. 1955 Author of "Jesus, Greatest at the Table" in Singing the New Testament Rev. Stephen P. Starke has always had a heart for hymns. At a young age, Starke played hymns out of The Lutheran Hymnal and read through the hymnal to pass the time before Sunday services.
Pastor Starke graduated from Concordia University Chicago with a BA. While completing his MDiv from Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Indiana, he attempted his first hymn text and was encouraged to write more. Since that time, he has written more than 175 hymns inspired by music and the Scriptures. He has been commissioned to write hymns for special occasions, including the 125th anniversary of Concordia University Wisconsin, as well as his daughter’s wedding.
Because of his extensive work as a hymnwriter, Pastor Starke received an honorary doctor of letters degree from Concordia University, Irvine, California, and an honorary doctor of divinity degree from Concordia University Wisconsin in Mequon.
It is through the medium of hymns that Pastor Starke desires to preserve and pass on the truths of the Gospel for generations to come.

=====================
Coles, V. S. S., p. 242, ii. Recently additional hymns by Mr. Coles have come into common use, including:—
1. Almighty Father, Lord most high. [Holy Communion.] Written for Hymns Ancient & Modern and given in the 1904 edition, No. 264, to be sung "At the Offertory." It is admirably suited for the purpose.
2. Father, Whose love we have wrong'd by transgression. This "Litany for Lent," in Hymns Ancient & Modern 1904, No. 633, is a cento from the author's Metrical Litany, published by Novello. The Pt. ii. in Hymns Ancient & Modern begins “Christ with the twelve the last Passover keeping."
3. We pray Thee, heavenly Father, p. 242, ii., 5. This hymn, with the exception of stanza i., is entirely rewritten in The English Hymnal, 1906.
4. Ye who own the faith of Jesus. [B. V. M.] This appeared in The English Hymnal, 1906, for "St. Mary the Virgin.”
