not for ease that prayer shall be,
but for strength that we may ever
live our lives courageously.

do we ask our way to be;
but the steep and rugged pathway
may we tread rejoicingly.

would we idly rest and stay;
but would smite the living fountains
from the rocks along our way.

in our wand'rings be our guide;
through endeavour, failure, danger,
Father, be thou at our side.

Dmitri Stepanovich Bortnianski
1751 - 1825 Person Name: D. S. Bortniansky (1751-1825) Composer of "VESPER HYMN" in Social Hymns of Brotherhood and Aspiration Dimitri Stepanovitch Bortniansky (1751-1825) Ukraine 1751-1825
Born in Glukhov, Ukraine, he joined the imperial choir at age 8 and studied with Galuppi, who later took the lad with him to Italy, where he studied for 10 years, becoming a composer, harpsichordist, and conductor. While in Italy he composed several operas and other instrumental music, composing more operas and music later in Russia. In 1779 he returned to Russia, where he was appointed Director to the Imperial Chapel Choir, the first as a native citizen. In 1796 he was appointed music director. With such a great instrument at his disposal, he produced many compositions, 100+ religious works, sacred concertos, cantatas, and hymns. He influenced Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovshy, the latter editing Bortniansky's sacred work, amassing 10 volumnes. He died in St. Petersburg. He was so popular in Russia that a bronze statue was erected in his honor in the Novgorod Kremlin. He composed in different musical styles, including choral works in French, Italian, Latin, German, and Church Slavonic.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Courageous Lives" in Christ in Song In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
