Now to Bethl’em speed your way;
Lo! in yonder humble manger,
Christ the Lord is born today.
2 Christ, by prophets long predicted,
Joy of Israel’s chosen race;
Light to Gentiles long afflicted,
Lost in error’s darkest maze.
3 Bright the star of your salvation,
Pointing to His rude abode!
Rapturous news for every nation—
Mortals, now behold your God!
4 Glad we trace th’amazing story,
Angels leave their bliss to tell;
Theme sublime, replete with glory,
Sinners saved from death and hell.
5 Love eternal moved the Savior,
Thus to lay His radiance by;
Blessings to the Lamb for ever,
Glory be to God on high. Languages: English Tune Title: QUEENSBOROUGH

Joseph Haydn
1732 - 1809 Person Name: Franz Joseph Haydn, 1732-1809 Composer of "QUEENSBOROUGH" in The Cyber Hymnal Franz Joseph Haydn (b. Rohrau, Austria, 1732; d. Vienna, Austria, 1809) Haydn's life was relatively uneventful, but his artistic legacy was truly astounding. He began his musical career as a choirboy in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, spent some years in that city making a precarious living as a music teacher and composer, and then served as music director for the Esterhazy family from 1761 to 1790. Haydn became a most productive and widely respected composer of symphonies, chamber music, and piano sonatas. In his retirement years he took two extended tours to England, which resulted in his "London" symphonies and (because of G. F. Handel's influence) in oratorios. Haydn's church music includes six great Masses and a few original hymn tunes. Hymnal editors have also arranged hymn tunes from various themes in Haydn's music.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Shepherds, hail the wondrous stranger!" in The Voice of Praise 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.
