Hear Thy Children, Gentle Jesus
Author: Francis Stanfield Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6457 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Hear Thy children, gentle Jesus,
While we breathe our evening prayer;
Save us from all harm and danger,
Take us ’neath Thy sheltering care.
2 Save us from the wiles of Satan,
’Mid the lone and sleepful night
Sweetly may our guardian angels
Keep us ’neath their watchful sight.
3 Gentle Jesus, look in pity
From Thy glorious throne above:
All the night Thy care is wakeful
In Thy sacrament of love.
4 Shades of even fast are falling,
Day is fading into gloom;
When the shades of death fall round us,
Lead Thy exiled children home. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. SYLVESTER

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Composer of "ST. SYLVESTER" in The Cyber Hymnal 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.
