Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #1 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 At thy feet, O Christ, we lay thine own gift of this new day; doubt of what it holds in store makes us crave thine aid the more; lest it prove a time of loss, mark it, Saviour, with thy cross. 2 If it flow on calm and bright, be thyself our chief delight: if it bring unknown distress, good is all that thou canst bless; only, while its hours begin, pray we, keep them clear of sin. 3 We in part our weakness know, and in part discern our foe; well for us, before thine eyes all our danger open lies; turn not from us, while we plead thy compassions and our need. 4 Fain would we thy word embrace, live each moment on thy grace, all our selves to thee consign, fold up all our wills in thine, think and speak and do and be simply that which pleases thee. 5 Hear us, Lord, and that right soon; hear, and grant the choicest boon that thy love can e’er impart, loyal singleness of heart: do shall this and all our days, Christ our God, show forth thy praise.

William Henry Monk

1823 - 1889 Person Name: William Henry Monk (1823-1889) Composer of "BARMOUTH" in The Institute Hymnal William H. Monk (b. Brompton, London, England, 1823; d. London, 1889) is best known for his music editing of Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861, 1868; 1875, and 1889 editions). He also adapted music from plainsong and added accompaniments for Introits for Use Throughout the Year, a book issued with that famous hymnal. Beginning in his teenage years, Monk held a number of musical positions. He became choirmaster at King's College in London in 1847 and was organist and choirmaster at St. Matthias, Stoke Newington, from 1852 to 1889, where he was influenced by the Oxford Movement. At St. Matthias, Monk also began daily choral services with the choir leading the congregation in music chosen according to the church year, including psalms chanted to plainsong. He composed over fifty hymn tunes and edited The Scottish Hymnal (1872 edition) and Wordsworth's Hymns for the Holy Year (1862) as well as the periodical Parish Choir (1840-1851). Bert Polman

John Bacchus Dykes

1823 - 1876 Composer of "GLASTONBURY" in The American Hymnal for Chapel Service As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern. Bert Polman

Samuel Sebastian Wesley

1810 - 1876 Person Name: Samuel Sebastian Wesley (1810-1876) Composer of "HOUGHTON" in The Oxford Hymn Book Samuel Sebastian Wesley (b. London, England, 1810; d. Gloucester, England, 1876) was an English organist and composer. The grandson of Charles Wesley, he was born in London, and sang in the choir of the Chapel Royal as a boy. He learned composition and organ from his father, Samuel, completed a doctorate in music at Oxford, and composed for piano, organ, and choir. He was organist at Hereford Cathedral (1832-1835), Exeter Cathedral (1835-1842), Leeds Parish Church (1842-1849), Winchester Cathedral (1849-1865), and Gloucester Cathedral (1865-1876). Wesley strove to improve the standards of church music and the status of church musicians; his observations and plans for reform were published as A Few Words on Cathedral Music and the Music System of the Church (1849). He was the musical editor of Charles Kemble's A Selection of Psalms and Hymns (1864) and of the Wellburn Appendix of Original Hymns and Tunes (1875) but is best known as the compiler of The European Psalmist (1872), in which some 130 of the 733 hymn tunes were written by him.
