We Turn To You

Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Voices United #685 (1996) Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: We turn to you, O God of every nation Lyrics: 1 We turn to you, O God of every nation, giver of good and origin of life; your love is at the heart of all creation, your hurt is people's pain in war and death. 2 We turn to you that we may be forgiven for crucifying Christ on earth again. We know that we have never wholly striven to share with all the promise of your reign. 3 Free every heart from haughty self-reliance, our ways of thought inspire with simple grace; break down among us barriers of defiance, speak to the soul of all the human race. 4 On all who rise on earth for right relations, we pray the light of love from hour to hour. Grant wisdom to the leaders of the nations, the gift of carefulness to those in power. 5 Teach us, good Lord, to serve the need of others, help us to give and not to count the cost. Unite us all to live as sisters, brothers, defeat our Babel with your Pentecost! Fred Kaan (1929-2009) © 1967, 1991, 1997 Stainer & Bell Ltd 11 10 11 10 Used By Permission.

W. Howard Doane

1832 - 1915 Person Name: W. H. Doane Meter: 11.10.11.10 Composer of "[Rescue the perishing, Care for the dying]" in Church Hymnal, Mennonite An industrialist and philanthropist, William H. Doane (b. Preston, CT, 1832; d. South Orange, NJ, 1915), was also a staunch supporter of evangelistic campaigns and a prolific writer of hymn tunes. He was head of a large woodworking machinery plant in Cincinnati and a civic leader in that city. He showed his devotion to the church by supporting the work of the evangelistic team of Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey and by endowing Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and Denison University in Granville, Ohio. An amateur composer, Doane wrote over twenty-two hundred hymn and gospel song tunes, and he edited over forty songbooks. Bert Polman ============ Doane, William Howard, p. 304, he was born Feb. 3, 1832. His first Sunday School hymn-book was Sabbath Gems published in 1861. He has composed about 1000 tunes, songs, anthems, &c. He has written but few hymns. Of these "No one knows but Jesus," "Precious Saviour, dearest Friend," and "Saviour, like a bird to Thee," are noted in Burrage's Baptist Hymn Writers. 1888, p. 557. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907) =================== Doane, W. H. (William Howard), born in Preston, Connecticut, 1831, and educated for the musical profession by eminent American and German masters. He has had for years the superintendence of a large Baptist Sunday School in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he resides. Although not a hymnwriter, the wonderful success which has attended his musical setting of numerous American hymns, and the number of his musical editions of hymnbooks for Sunday Schools and evangelistic purposes, bring him within the sphere of hymnological literature. Amongst his collections we have:— (1) Silver Spray, 1868; (2) Pure Gold, 1877; (3) Royal Diadem, 1873; (4) Welcome Tidings, 1877; (5) Brightest and Best, 1875; (6) Fountain of Song; (7) Songs of Devotion, 1870; (8) Temple Anthems, &c. His most popular melodies include "Near the Cross," "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," "Pass me Not," "More Love to Thee," "Rescue the Perishing," "Tell me the Old, Old Story," &c. - John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

This work resulted in his writing of Education for Justice (1977) and Patriotism and Peace (1983). With a ministry throughout the English-speaking world, Wren now resides in the United States where he is active as a freelance lecturer, preacher, and full-time hymn writer.

Meter: 11.10.11.10 Editors: Ernest Northcroft Merrington, 1876-1953 Description: The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling to provide suitable music for their services and meetings.

Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format. Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per month. The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse. Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs.
