LORD, to You We Lift Our Voices
Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 LORD, to you we lift our voices,
sing to praise your glorious might;
see, th'anointed king rejoices!
In your strength is his delight:
heart's desires, heartfelt prayers,
he finds favor in your sight.
2 LORD, you welcomed him with blessing,
purest gold his head has crowned;
life forever, days unceasing,
in your presence joys abound:
his the glory, his the vict'ry,
for in him true faith is found.
3 So this king will not be shaken,
held in love by God Most High;
by your hand your foes are taken,
at your coming they shall die:
fire consuming all their scheming,
all their hopes you will destroy.
4 In your strength, O LORD, uplifted,
you will rid this earth of wrongs.
With your wealth your king is gifted;
take the praises of our songs:
Son of David, high-ascended,
ev'ry pow'r to Christ belongs!

John Hughes
1873 - 1932 Composer of "CWM RHONDDA" in Psalms of Grace John Hughes (b. Dowlais, Glamorganshire, Wales, 1873; d. Llantwit Fardre, Wales, 1932) received little formal education; at age twelve he was already working as a doorboy at a local mining company in Llantwit Fardre. He eventually became an official in the traffic department of the Great Western Railway. Much of his energy was devoted to the Salem Baptist Church in Pontypridd, where he served as both deacon and precentor. Hughes composed two anthems, a number of Sunday school marches, and a few hymn tunes, of which CWM RHONDDA is universally known, the tune was composed in 1905 Baptist Cymanfa Ganu (song festival) in Capel Rhondda, Pontypridd, Wales.

Henry Purcell
1659 - 1695 Composer of "WESTMINSTER ABBEY" in Christian Worship Henry Purcell (b. Westminster, London, England, 1659; d. Westminster, 1695), was perhaps the greatest English composer who ever lived, though he only lived to the age of thirty-six. Purcell's first piece was published at age eight when he was also a chorister in the Chapel Royal. When his voice changed in 1673, he was appointed assistant to John Hingston, who built chamber organs and maintained the king's instruments. In 1674 Purcell began tuning the Westminster Abbey organ and was paid to copy organ music. Given the position of composer for the violins in 1677, he also became organist at Westminster Abbey in 1679 (at age twenty) and succeeded Hingston as maintainer of the king's instruments (1683). Purcell composed music for the theater (Dido and Aeneas, c. 1689) and for keyboards, provided music for royal coronations and other ceremonies, and wrote a substantial body of church music, including eighteen full anthems and fifty-six verse anthems.
