Redhead Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Composer of "[Lo, He comes with clouds descending]" in The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 Richard Redhead (b. Harrow, Middlesex, England, 1820; d. Hellingley, Sussex, England, 1901) was a chorister at Magdalen College, Oxford. At age nineteen he was invited to become organist at Margaret Chapel (later All Saints Church), London. Greatly influencing the musical tradition of the church, he remained in that position for twenty-five years as organist and an excellent trainer of the boys' choirs. Redhead and the church's rector, Frederick Oakeley, were strongly committed to the Oxford Movement, which favored the introduction of Roman elements into Anglican worship. Together they produced the first Anglican plainsong psalter, Laudes Diurnae (1843). Redhead spent the latter part of his career as organist at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Paddington (1864-1894).

Joseph Cottle

1770 - 1853 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Author of "Mighty Lord, Extend Thy Kingdom" in The Cyber Hymnal Cottle, Joseph, b. 1770, d. 1853. A native of Bristol, and from 1791 to 1798 a bookseller and publisher. He is best known as the friend of Coleridge and Southey, of whom, in 1837, he published Recollections, and in 1847 Reminiscences. He was the author of numerous works in prose and verse. In 1801 he published a New Version of the Psalms of David, of which a 2nd edition (privately printed), appeared in 1805. In 1828 he published Hymns and Sacred Lyrics. In Three Parts, by Constantius. Only a few copies were printed with this title, the greater part of the issue reading " by Joseph Cottle," instead of "by Constantius." These Hymns, Psalms and Sacred Lyrics," Cottle says, “are all originals, written progressively through a period of 20 years." Some of them found their way into a few collections, but have little poetic merit, and are now disused. [Rev. W. R. Stevenson, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ================= Cottle, Joseph, p. 264, i. Two of his hymns still sur¬vive: (1) "Mighty Lord, extend Thy empire " (Missions); (2) "While marching on to Canaan's land" (Christian Warfare). These are from his Hymns, &c, 1828. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)
