Peacefully Round Us the Shadows Are Falling

Author: Ambrose N. Blatchford Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5582 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1. Peacefully round us the shadows are falling, Glad be our praises and trustful our prayer; Hear us, O Lord, on Thy providence calling, Lighten our darkness, and banish our care. 2. Hushed are the sheep bells afar on the moorland, O’er the still meadows the night breezes sweep, Faint fall the footsteps in city and hamlet, Safely the children are folded in sleep. 3. Softly may weary ones rest from their duty, Bright be the dreams of the troubled and worn, While through the shades beam the stars in their beauty, Watching the world till the breaking of morn. 4. Lord of the night, let Thine angels defend us; Sunshine and gloom are alike unto Thee; Lord of the day, let Thy Spirit attend us, Bless us and keep us wherever we be.

Peacefully Round Us the Shadows

Author: A. N. Blatchford Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #45 (1957) Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: Peacefully round us the shadows are falling Lyrics: 1 Peacefully round us the shadows are falling, Glad be our praises and trustful our prayer; Hear us, O Lord on Thy providence calling, Lighten our darkness, and banish our care. 2 Hushed are the sheep-bells afar on the moorland, O’er the still meadows the night breezes sweep, Faint fall the footsteps in city and hamlet, Safely the children are folded in sleep. 3 Softly may weary ones rest from their duty, Bright be the dreams of the troubled and worn; While through the shade beam the stars in their beauty, Watching the world till the breaking of morn. 4 Lord of the night, let Thine angels defend us; Sunshine and gloom are alike unto Thee; Lord of the day, let Thy Spirit attend us, Bless us and keep us wherever we be. Amen. Topics: Worship Evening Scripture: Psalm 121 Tune Title: CURFEW

Person Name: Anon. Composer of "[Peacefully round us the shadows are falling]" in The Praise Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Henry J. Gauntlett

1805 - 1876 Person Name: H. J. Gauntlett, Mus. Doc. Composer of "SPRINGFIELD" in The Sunday School Hymnary Henry J. Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, July 9, 1805; d. London, England, February 21, 1876) When he was nine years old, Henry John Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, England, 1805; d. Kensington, London, England, 1876) became organist at his father's church in Olney, Buckinghamshire. At his father's insistence he studied law, practicing it until 1844, after which he chose to devote the rest of his life to music. He was an organist in various churches in the London area and became an important figure in the history of British pipe organs. A designer of organs for William Hill's company, Gauntlett extend­ed the organ pedal range and in 1851 took out a patent on electric action for organs. Felix Mendelssohn chose him to play the organ part at the first performance of Elijah in Birmingham, England, in 1846. Gauntlett is said to have composed some ten thousand hymn tunes, most of which have been forgotten. Also a supporter of the use of plainchant in the church, Gauntlett published the Gregorian Hymnal of Matins and Evensong (1844). Bert Polman
