He Whose Confession God of Old Accepted
Author: Anonymous; Laurence Housman Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2671 Meter: 11.11.11.5 First Line: He, whose confession God of old accepted Lyrics: 1. He, whose confession God of old accepted,
Whom through the ages all now hold in honor,
Gaining his guerdon this day came to enter
Heaven’s high portal.
2. God-fearing, watchful, pure of mind and body,
Holy and humble, thus did all men find him,
While, through his members, to the life immortal
Mortal life called him.
3. Thus to the weary, from the life enshrinèd,
Potent in virtue, flowed humane compassion;
Sick and sore laden, howsoever burdened,
There they found healing.
4. So now in chorus, giving God the glory,
Raise we our anthem gladly to his honor,
That in fair kinship we may all be sharers
Here and hereafter.
5. Honor and glory, power and salvation,
Be in the highest unto Him who reigneth
Changeless in Heaven over earthly changes
Triune, eternal. Languages: English Tune Title: ISTE CONFESSOR

Author of "He Whose Confession God of Old Accepted" in The Cyber Hymnal 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.

To the English Hymnal, 1906, he contributed eight translations (142, 188, 191, 228, 229, 230, 231, 234); also three original hymns, with a fourth previously published, viz.:—
1. Lord God of Hosts, within Whose hand. St. George.

3. The Saint who first found grace to pen. St. Mark.
4. When Christ was born in Bethlehem. Holy Innocents. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]

Died: February 20, 1959, Glastonbury, Somerset, England.

Housman studied art at the Lambeth School of Art and the Royal College of Art. He had great success as an illustrator, but when his eyesight began to fail, he turned to writing books and plays. He wrote 80 books during his lifetime. He often seemed to fall afoul of the censors, though, for religious and political reasons. A committed socialist and pacifist, in 1907, he helped found the Men’s League for Women’s Suffrage. He was also an honorary associate of the Women Writers’ Suffrage League. His works include:
Jump-to-Glory Jane, by Meredith
Goblin Market, by Christiantina Rossetti, 1893
The End of Elfintown, by Jane Barlow, 1894
Spikenard, 1898
The Sensitive Plant, 1898
Bethlehem, 1902
The Blue Moon, 1904
Angels and Ministers, 1921
Little Plays of St. Francis, 1922
Victoria Regina, 1937
The Unexpected Years, 1937 (autobiography)
