Lord of the Strong, When Earth You Trod

Author: Donald Hankey (1884-1916) Hymnal: The Worshipbook #466 (1972) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.6 Refrain First Line: All glory be to God Lyrics: 1 Lord of the strong, when earth you trod, You calmly faced the angry sea, The fierce unmasked hypocrisy, The traitor's kiss, the rabble's hiss, The awful death upon the tree, [Refrain:] All glory be to God. 2 Lord of the weak, when earth you trod, Oppressors writhed beneath your scorn; The weak, despised, depraved, forlorn, You taught to hope and know the scope Of love divine for all who mourn: [Refrain] 3 Lord of the rich, when earth you trod, To Mammon's power you never bowed, But taught how men with wealth endowed In meekness' school might learn to rule The demon that enslaves the proud: [Refrain] 4 Lord of the poor, when earth you trod, The lot you chose was hard and poor; You taught us hardness to endure, And so to gain through hurt and pain The wealth that lasts forevermore: [Refrain] 5 Lord of us all, when earth you trod, The life you led was perfect, free, Defiant of all tyranny: Now give us grace that we may face Our foes with like temerity, [Refrain] Amen.

Joseph Barnby

1838 - 1896 Author of "Lord of the strong, when earth you trod" in The New Hymnal of Praise Joseph Barnby (b. York, England, 1838; d. London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873). Bert Polman
