I Lift My Eyes to the Quiet Hills

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #81 (1990) Meter: 9.7.9.7 Lyrics: 1 I lift my eyes to the quiet hills in the press of a busy day; as green hills stand in a dusty land so God is my strength and stay. 2 I lift my eyes to the quiet hills to a calm that is mine to share; secure and still in the Father's will and kept by the Father's care. 3 I lift my eyes to the quiet hills with a prayer as I turn to sleep; by day, by night, through the dark and light my Shepherd will guard his sheep. 4 I lift my eyes to the quiet hills and my heart to the Father's throne; in all my ways to the end of days the Lord will preserve his own.

He has occupied a number of church posi­tions, including parish priest in the diocese of Southwark (1953-1962), archdeacon of Norwich (1973-1981), and bishop of Thetford, Norfolk, from 1981 until his retirement in 1992. He also edited a Christian magazine, Crusade, which was founded after Billy Graham's 1955 London crusade.

F. E. Belden

1858 - 1945 Meter: 9.7.9.7 Author of "There Is Sweet Rest" in The Church Hymnal Belden was born in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1858. He began writing music in his late teenage years after moving to California with his family. For health reasons he later moved to Colorado. He returned to Battle Creek with his wife in the early 1880s, and there he became involved in Adventist Church publishing. F. E. Belden wrote many hymn tunes, gospel songs, and related texts in the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Belden was able to rapidly write both music and poetry together which enabled him to write a song to fit a sermon while it was still being delivered. He also wrote songs for evang­el­ist Bil­ly Sun­day. Though Belden’s later years were marred by misunderstandings with the church leadership over his royalties, he did donate his papers and manuscripts to the church’s seminary at his death. He died on December 2, 1945 in Battle Creek, Michigan. N.N., Hymnary. Source: http://www.hymntime.com/tch/bio/b/e/l/belden_fe.htm
