And teach me, I Thee pray;
Thou art my God and Savior,
On Thee I wait alway.

I Lift My Heart to Thee (Sternhold)
I Lift my heart to thee
Author: T. S. Hymnal: The Whole Book of Psalms #XXV (1790) Lyrics: 1 I lift my heart to thee,
my God and guide most just;
Now suffer me to take no shame,
for in thee do I trust.
2 Let not my foes rejoice,
nor make a scorn of me;
And let them not be overthrown
that put their trust in thee.
3 But shame shall them befal,
who harm them wrongfully:
Therefore thy paths, and thy right ways,
unto me, Lord, descry.
4 Direct me in thy truth,
and teach me, I thee pray;
Thou art my Saviour and my God,
on thee I wait alway.
5 Thy mercies manifold
remember, Lord, I pray;
In pity thou art plentiful,
and so hast been alway.
6 Remember not the faults
and frailty of my youth,
Call not to mind how ignorant
I have been of thy truth:
7 Nor after my deserts
let me thy mercy find;
But of thine own benignity,
Lord, have me in thy mind.
8 His mercy is full sweet,
his truth a perfect guide;
Therefore the Lord will sinners teach,
and such as go aside.
9 The humble he will teach
his precepts to obey,
He will direct in all his paths
the lowly man alway.
10 For all the ways of God
both truth and mercy are,
To them that do his covenant
and statutes keep with care.
The Second Part.
11 Now for thy holy name,
O Lord, I thee intreat
To grant me pardon for my sin,
for it is very great.
12 Whoso doth fear the Lord,
by him he shall be kept
To lead his life in such a way
as he doth best accept:
13 His soul shall evermore
in goodness dwell and stand;
His seed and his posterity
inherit shall the land.
14 All those that fear the Lord
know his secret intent,
And unto them he doth declare
his will and testament.
15 My eyes and thankful heart
to him I will advance,
That pluck'd my feet out of the snare
Of sin and ignorance.
16 With mercy me behold,
to thee I make my moan;
For I am poor and desolate,
and comfortless alone.
17 The troubles of my heart
are multiply'd indeed;
Bring me out of this misery,
necessity and need.
18 Behold my poverty,
my anguish and my pain;
Remit my sin and my offence,
and make me clean again.
19 O Lord, behold my foes,
how they do still increase,
Pursuing me with deadly hate,
that fain would live in peace:
20 Preserve and keep my soul,
and still deliver me;
And let me not be overthrown,
because I trust in thee.
21 Let truth and uprightness
for ever wait on me,
Because my hope and confidence
have always been in thee.
22 Deliver, Lord, thy folk,
and send them some relief,
I mean thy chosen Israel,
from all their pain and grief. Scripture: Psalm 25 Languages: English

George J. Elvey
1816 - 1893 Person Name: George Job Elvey Composer of "DIADEMATA" in The Cyber Hymnal George Job Elvey (b. Canterbury, England, 1816; d. Windlesham, Surrey, England, 1893) As a young boy, Elvey was a chorister in Canterbury Cathedral. Living and studying with his brother Stephen, he was educated at Oxford and at the Royal Academy of Music. At age nineteen Elvey became organist and master of the boys' choir at St. George Chapel, Windsor, where he remained until his retirement in 1882. He was frequently called upon to provide music for royal ceremonies such as Princess Louise's wedding in 1871 (after which he was knighted). Elvey also composed hymn tunes, anthems, oratorios, and service music.

Thomas Sternhold
1449 - 1549 Person Name: Thomas Sternhold, 1500-1549 Author of "I Lift My Heart to Thee (Sternhold)" in The Cyber Hymnal Thomas Sternhold was Groom of the Robes to Henry VIII and Edward VI. With Hopkins, he produced the first English version of the Psalms before alluded to. He completed fifty-one; Hopkins and others composed the remainder. He died in 1549. Thirty-seven of his psalms were edited and published after his death, by his friend Hopkins. The work is entitled "All such Psalms of David as Thomas Sternhold, late Groome of the King's Majestye's Robes, did in his Lyfetime drawe into Englyshe Metre." Of the version annexed to the Prayer Book, Montgomery says: "The merit of faithful adherence to the original has been claimed for this version, and need not to be denied, but it is the resemblance which the dead bear to the living." Wood, in his "Athenae Oxonlenses" (1691, vol. I, p. 62), has the following account of the origin of Sternhold's psalms: "Being a most zealous reformer, and a very strict liver, he became so scandalized at the amorous and obscene songs used in the Court, that he, forsooth, turned into English metre fifty-one of David's psalms, and caused musical notes to be set to them, thinking thereby that the courtiers would sing them instead of their sonnets; but they did not, some few excepted. However, the poetry and music being admirable, and the best that was made and composed in these times, they were thought fit to be sung in all parochial churches." Of Sternhold and Hopkins, old Fuller says: "They were men whose piety was better than their poetry, and they had drunk more of Jordan than of Helicon." Sternhold and Hopkins may be taken as the representatives of the strong tendency to versify Scripture that came with the Reformation into England--a work men eagerly entered on without the talent requisite for its successful accomplishment. The tendency went so far, that even the "Acts of the Apostles" was put into rhyme, and set to music by Dr. Christopher Tye.

William Daman
1540 - 1591 Arranger of "PSALM 25" in American Hymns Old and New Aliases: Damon; Damano; Demaunde; Damond; Dymond
Born: ca.1540
Died: 1591
Damon was a foreign composer resident in England. He arrived probably in England in 1566 as a servant of Sir Thomas Sackville. In 1576 he became a recorder player at the Court of Elizabeth I.
He was described as having been born in "Luke" and "Lewklande" and, on the assumption that these names refer to Luik or Liège, it has been inferred that he was a Walloon. However contemporary London records describe him as an Italian and a later reference refers to him having been born in "Luke in Italy", i.e. Lucca. His unanglicised name may have been Gulielmo (or Gulielmus) Damano.
Daman died from the effects of an ulcer and was buried at St Peter-le-Poer, London, on 26 March 1591.
List of choral works:
Beati omnes qui timent Dominum
Confitebor tibi Domine
Miserere nostri Domine
Omnis caro gramen sit
Praedicabo laudes tuae Domine
Spem in alium
