Lord of the Living Harvest
Joy in Sorrow
Author: Jane F. Crewdson Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 34 hymnals First Line: I've found a joy in sorrow Lyrics: 1. I’ve found a joy in sorrow,
a secret balm for pain,
A beautiful tomorrow
of sunshine after rain;
I’ve found a branch of healing
near every bitter spring;
A whispered promise stealing
o’er every broken string,
A whispered promise stealing
o’er every broken string.
2. I’ve found a glad hosanna
for every woe and wail;
A handful of sweet manna
when grapes of Eschol fail;
I’ve found a Rock of Ages
when desert wells are dry;
And, after weary stages,
I’ve found an Elim nigh,
And, after weary stages,
I’ve found an Elim nigh.
3. An Elim with its coolness,
its fountains, and its shade;
A blessing in its fullness,
when buds of promise fade;
O’er tears of soft contrition
I’ve seen a rainbow light,
A glory and fruition,
so near! yet out of sight,
A glory and fruition, so near!
yet out of sight.
4. My Savior, Thee possessing,
I have the joy, the balm,
The healing and the blessing,
the sunshine and the psalm;
The promise for the fearful,
the Elim for the faint,
The rainbow for the tearful,
the glory for the saint!
The rainbow for the tearful,
the glory for the saint! Used With Tune: CREWDSON Text Sources: A Little While, and Other Poems (Manchester, England: 1864)
Joy in Sorrow
O God, the Rock of Ages
Author: Edward H. Bickersteth Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 201 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God, the Rock of Ages,
Who evermore hast been,
What time the tempest rages,
Our dwelling-place serene;
Before Thy first creations,
O Lord, the same as now,
To endless generations
The Everlasting Thou!
To endless generations
The Everlasting Thou!
2. Our years are like the shadows
O'er sunny hills that fly,
Or grasses in the meadows
That blossom but to die:
A sleep, a dream, a story
By strangers quickly told,
An unremaining glory
Of things that soon are old,
An unremaining glory
Of things that soon are old.
3. O Thou, who canst not slumber,
Whose light grows never pale,
Teach us aright to number
Our years before they fail.
On us Thy mercy lighten,
On us Thy goodness rest,
And let Thy Spirit brighten
The hearts Thyself hast blest,
And let Thy Spirit brighten
The hearts Thyself hast blest. Topics: The Christian Life Refuge Used With Tune: REVELATION

Consolation
Author: Charles W. Naylor Hymnal: Timeless Truths #610 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 First Line: Child of God's boundless mercy Lyrics: 1 Child of God’s boundless mercy,
Child of His tender love,
Is He not true forever?
Will He not faithful prove?
Hidden may be His purpose,
When thou dost weap and pray;
Silence may be the answer,
He may seem far away.
2 Canst thou not trust His silence?
Canst thou not trust and wait?
Over thee still He watcheth,
Help will not come too late.
He is as true when silent
As when His voice you hear;
When He seems farthest distant,
Still is His presence near.
3 Needful are all thy heartaches,
Blessings are in thy woes;
Burdens well-borne make stronger,
Loss will God’s grace disclose.
Drink thou the cup so bitter;
Love poured the draught for thee
Just to make sweet the sweeter,
Joy to more joyous be.
4 Wise is thy loving Father,
Precious to Him thou art;
Cast all thy fears behind thee,
Strengthen thy fainting heart.
Let Him work out His purpose,
He will do what is best;
Patiently wait and trust Him,
Thus shall thy soul be blest. Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 2:16 Tune Title: [Child of God's boundless mercy]

Arthur Sullivan
1842 - 1900 Person Name: Arthur S. Sullivan Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Harmonizer of "REVELATION" in The New Christian Hymnal Arthur Seymour Sullivan (b Lambeth, London. England. 1842; d. Westminster, London, 1900) was born of an Italian mother and an Irish father who was an army bandmaster and a professor of music. Sullivan entered the Chapel Royal as a chorister in 1854. He was elected as the first Mendelssohn scholar in 1856, when he began his studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He also studied at the Leipzig Conservatory (1858-1861) and in 1866 was appointed professor of composition at the Royal Academy of Music. Early in his career Sullivan composed oratorios and music for some Shakespeare plays. However, he is best known for writing the music for lyrics by William S. Gilbert, which produced popular operettas such as H.M.S. Pinafore (1878), The Pirates of Penzance (1879), The Mikado (1884), and Yeomen of the Guard (1888). These operettas satirized the court and everyday life in Victorian times. Although he composed some anthems, in the area of church music Sullivan is best remembered for his hymn tunes, written between 1867 and 1874 and published in The Hymnary (1872) and Church Hymns (1874), both of which he edited. He contributed hymns to A Hymnal Chiefly from The Book of Praise (1867) and to the Presbyterian collection Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (1867). A complete collection of his hymns and arrangements was published posthumously as Hymn Tunes by Arthur Sullivan (1902). Sullivan steadfastly refused to grant permission to those who wished to make hymn tunes from the popular melodies in his operettas.

Edward Henry Bickersteth
1825 - 1906 Person Name: Edward H. Bickersteth Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Author of "O God, the Rock of Ages" in The New Christian Hymnal Bickersteth, Edward Henry, D.D., son of Edward Bickersteth, Sr. born at Islington, Jan. 1825, and educated at Trinity College, Cambridge (B.A. with honours, 1847; M.A., 1850). On taking Holy Orders in 1848, he became curate of Banningham, Norfolk, and then of Christ Church, Tunbridge Wells. His preferment to the Rectory of Hinton-Martell, in 1852, was followed by that of the Vicarage of Christ Church, Hampstead, 1855. In 1885 he became Dean of Gloucester, and the same year Bishop of Exeter. Bishop Bickersteth's works, chiefly poetical, are:—
(l) Poems, 1849; (2) Water from the Well-spring, 1852; (3) The Rock of Ages, 1858 ; (4) Commentary on the New Testament, 1864; (5) Yesterday, To-day, and For Ever, 1867; (6) The Spirit of Life, 1868; (7) The Two Brothers and other Poems, 1871; (8) The Master's Home Call, 1872 ; (9) The Shadowed Home and the Light Beyond, 1874; (10) The Beef and other Parables, 1873; (11) Songs in the House of Pilgrimage, N.D.; (12) From Year to Year, 1883.
As an editor of hymnals, Bp. Bickersteth has also been most successful. His collections are:—
(1) Psalms & Hymns, 1858, based on his father's Christian Psalmody, which passed through several editions; (2) The Hymnal Companion, 1870; (3) The Hymnal Companion revised and enlarged, 1876. Nos. 2 and 3, which are two editions of the same collection, have attained to an extensive circulation. [Ch. of England Hymnody.]
About 30 of Bp. Bickersteths hymns are in common use. Of these the best and most widely known are:—" Almighty Father, hear our cry"; "Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile"; "Father of heaven above"; "My God, my Father, dost Thou call"; "O Jesu, Saviour of the lost"; "Peace, perfect peace"; "Rest in the Lord"; "Stand, Soldier of the Cross"; " Thine, Thine, for ever"; and "Till He come.” As a poet Bp. Bickersteth is well known. His reputation as a hymn-writer has also extended far and wide. Joined with a strong grasp of his subject, true poetic feeling, a pure rhythm, there is a soothing plaintiveness and individuality in his hymns which give them a distinct character of their own. His thoughts are usually with the individual, and not with the mass: with the single soul and his God, and not with a vast multitude bowed in adoration before the Almighty. Hence, although many of his hymns are eminently suited to congregational purposes, and have attained to a wide popularity, yet his finest productions are those which are best suited for private use.

Bickersteth, Edward Henry, p. 141, ii. Bishop Bickersteth's 1890 edition of his Hymnal Companion is noted on p. 1312, i., and several of his own hymns and translations, which appear therein for the first time, are annotated in this Appendix. One of these, "All-merciful, Almighty Lord," for the Conv. of St. Paul, was written for the 1890 edition of Hymnal Companion.

George Frideric Handel
1685 - 1759 Person Name: George F. Handel Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Composer of "REVELATION" in The New Christian Hymnal George Frideric Handel (b. Halle, Germany, 1685; d. London, England, 1759) became a musician and composer despite objections from his father, who wanted him to become a lawyer. Handel studied music with Zachau, organist at the Halle Cathedral, and became an accomplished violinist and keyboard performer. He traveled and studied in Italy for some time and then settled permanently in England in 1713. Although he wrote a large number of instrumental works, he is known mainly for his Italian operas, oratorios (including Messiah, 1741), various anthems for church and royal festivities, and organ concertos, which he interpolated into his oratorio performances. He composed only three hymn tunes, one of which (GOPSAL) still appears in some modern hymnals. A number of hymnal editors, including Lowell Mason, took themes from some of Handel's oratorios and turned them into hymn tunes; ANTIOCH is one example, long associated with “Joy to the World.”
