In faith and hope we give;
We know that thro’ the mystery
Their new-born souls shall live.
2 We pour the water on their brow,
The sacred words we say;
Baptize them with the Spirit now,
And keep them Thine alway.
3 Help them to go from strength to strength,
Until, full-grown in Thee,
They come before Thy face at length,
And all Thy glory see.
4 And then, with all the heav’nly host,
In everlasting songs,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
To whom all praise belongs.

===============
Whiting, William, was born in Kensington, London, Nov. 1, 1825, and educated at Clapham. He was for several years Master of the Winchester College Choristers' School. His Rural Thoughts and other poems were published in 1851; but contained no hymns. His reputation as a hymnwriter is almost exclusively confined to his “Eternal Father, strong to save". Other hymns by him were contributed to the following collections:—
i. To the 1869 Appendix to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge Psalms & Hymns
1. O Lord the heaven Thy power displays. Evening.
2. Onward through life Thy children stray. Changing Scenes of Life.
ii. To an Appendix to Hymns Ancient & Modern issued by the Clergy of St. Philip's, Clerkenwell, 1868.
3. Jesus, Lord, our childhood's Pattern. Jesus the Example to the Young.
4. Lord God Almighty, Everlasting Father. Holy Trinity.
5. Now the harvest toil is over. Harvest.
6. 0 Father of abounding grace. Consecration of a Church.
7. We thank Thee, Lord, for all. All Saints Day.
iii. To The Hymnary, 1872.
8. Amen, the deed in faith is done. Holy Baptism.
9. Jesus Christ our Saviour. For the Young.
10. Now the billows, strong and dark. For Use at Sea.
11. 0 Father, Who the traveller's way. For Travellers by Land.
12. When Jesus Christ was crucified. Holy Baptism.
Mr. Whiting's hymns, with the exception of his “Eternal Father," &c, have not a wide acceptance. He died in 1878.

Ludwig van Beethoven
1770 - 1827 Person Name: Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770-1827 Composer of "O LORD, OUR LITTLE ONES" in Ambassador Hymnal A giant in the history of music, Ludwig van Beethoven (b. Bonn, Germany, 1770; d. Vienna, Austria, 1827) progressed from early musical promise to worldwide, lasting fame. By the age of fourteen he was an accomplished viola and organ player, but he became famous primarily because of his compositions, including nine symphonies, eleven overtures, thirty piano sonatas, sixteen string quartets, the Mass in C, and the Missa Solemnis. He wrote no music for congregational use, but various arrangers adapted some of his musical themes as hymn tunes; the most famous of these is ODE TO JOY from the Ninth Symphony. Although it would appear that the great calamity of Beethoven's life was his loss of hearing, which turned to total deafness during the last decade of his life, he composed his greatest works during this period.
