Forever Here My Rest

Hymnal: The Crowning Day #33 (1894) First Line: Forever here my rest shall be Lyrics: 1 Forever here my rest shall be, Close to Thy bleeding side; This all my hope and all my plea; For me the Saviour died. For me, for me, What can I ask beside? This all my hope and all my plea; For me the Saviour died. 2 No voice can sing, no heart can frame, Nor can the mem’ry find A sweeter sound than Jesus’ name— The Saviour of mankind. Dear name, dear name, No other can I find; A sweeter sound than Jesus’ name— The Saviour of mankind. 3 O, hope of ev’ry contrite heart, O, joy of all the meek! To those who ask, how kind Thou art, How good to those who seek! How good, how good, How good to those who ask; To those who ask, how kind Thou art, How good to those who seek! Scripture: Acts 2:26 Tune Title: [Forever here my rest shall be]

Forever Here My Rest Shall Be

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Praise and Worship #51 (1951) Lyrics: 1 Forever here my rest shall be, Close to Thy bleeding side. This all my hope, and all my plea. "For me the Saviour died." 2 My dying Saviour, and my God, Fountain for guilt and sin, Sprinkle me ever with Thy blood, And cleanse, and keep me clean. 3 Wash me, and make me thus Thine own; Wash me, and mine Thou art; Wash me, but not my feet alone—- My hands, my head, my heart. 4 The atonement of Thy blood apply, Till faith to sight improve; Till hope in full fruition die, And all my soul be love.

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy

1809 - 1847 Composer of "HOLY CROSS" in The Primitive Methodist Church Hymnal Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (b. Hamburg, Germany, 1809; d. Leipzig, Germany, 1847) was the son of banker Abraham Mendelssohn and the grandson of philosopher Moses Mendelssohn. His Jewish family became Christian and took the Bartholdy name (name of the estate of Mendelssohn's uncle) when baptized into the Lutheran church. The children all received an excellent musical education. Mendelssohn had his first public performance at the age of nine and by the age of sixteen had written several symphonies. Profoundly influenced by J. S. Bach's music, he conducted a performance of the St. Matthew Passion in 1829 (at age 20!) – the first performance since Bach's death, thus reintroducing Bach to the world. Mendelssohn organized the Domchor in Berlin and founded the Leipzig Conservatory of Music in 1843. Traveling widely, he not only became familiar with various styles of music but also became well known himself in countries other than Germany, especially in England. He left a rich treasury of music: organ and piano works, overtures and incidental music, oratorios (including St. Paul or Elijah and choral works, and symphonies. He harmonized a number of hymn tunes himself, but hymnbook editors also arranged some of his other tunes into hymn tunes. Bert Polman

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Composer of "BELIEF" in Book of Hymns and Tunes, comprising the psalms and hymns for the worship of God, approved by the general assembly of 1866, arranged with appropriate tunes... by authority of the assembly of 1873 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.
