O Church of God United
O Church of God, United
Author: Frederick B. Morley Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #312 (1957) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O church of God, united
To serve one common Lord,
Proclaim to all one message
With hearts in glad accord.
Christ ever goes before us;
We follow day by day
With strong and eager footsteps
Along the upward way.
2 From every land and nation
The ordered ranks appear;
To serve one valiant leader
They come from far and near.
They chant their one confession,
They praise one living Lord,
And place their sure dependence
Upon His saving word.
3 Though creeds and tongues may differ,
They speak, O Christ, of Thee;
And in Thy loving spirit
We shall one people be.
Lord, may our faithful service
And singleness of aim
Proclaim to all the power
Of Thy redeeming name.
4 May Thy great prayer be answered
That we may all be one,
Close bound, by love united
In thee, God's blessed Son:
To bring a single witness,
To make the pathway bright,
That souls which grope in darkness
May find the one true light.
Amen. Scripture: John 10:11-16 Tune Title: ELLACOMBE

Samuel Sebastian Wesley
1810 - 1876 Composer of "AURELIA" in The United Methodist Hymnal Samuel Sebastian Wesley (b. London, England, 1810; d. Gloucester, England, 1876) was an English organist and composer. The grandson of Charles Wesley, he was born in London, and sang in the choir of the Chapel Royal as a boy. He learned composition and organ from his father, Samuel, completed a doctorate in music at Oxford, and composed for piano, organ, and choir. He was organist at Hereford Cathedral (1832-1835), Exeter Cathedral (1835-1842), Leeds Parish Church (1842-1849), Winchester Cathedral (1849-1865), and Gloucester Cathedral (1865-1876). Wesley strove to improve the standards of church music and the status of church musicians; his observations and plans for reform were published as A Few Words on Cathedral Music and the Music System of the Church (1849). He was the musical editor of Charles Kemble's A Selection of Psalms and Hymns (1864) and of the Wellburn Appendix of Original Hymns and Tunes (1875) but is best known as the compiler of The European Psalmist (1872), in which some 130 of the 733 hymn tunes were written by him.
