Sing, My Soul, His Wondrous Love

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6116 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1. Sing, my soul, His wondrous love, Who from yon bright world above, Ever watchful o’er our race, Still to man extends His grace; Sing, my soul, His wondrous love, Sing, my soul, His wondrous love. 2. Heaven and earth by Him were made; He by all must be obeyed; What are we that He should show So much love to us below? Sing, my soul, His wondrous love, Sing, my soul, His wondrous love. 3. God, thus merciful and good, Bought us with the Savior’s blood; And to make our safety sure, Guides us by His spirit pure; Sing, my soul, His wondrous love, Sing, my soul, His wondrous love. 4. Sing, my soul, adore His name, Let His glory be my theme; Praise Him till He calls thee home; Trust His love for all to come; Praise, oh praise the God of love, Praise, oh praise the God of love.

Author of "Sing, my soul, His wondrous love" in The Hymnal 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.

George Frideric Handel

1685 - 1759 Person Name: Handel Composer of "THEODORA" in The Church Hymnal George Frideric Handel (b. Halle, Germany, 1685; d. London, England, 1759) became a musician and composer despite objections from his father, who wanted him to become a lawyer. Handel studied music with Zachau, organist at the Halle Cathedral, and became an accomplished violinist and keyboard performer. He traveled and studied in Italy for some time and then settled permanently in England in 1713. Although he wrote a large number of instrumental works, he is known mainly for his Italian operas, oratorios (including Messiah, 1741), various anthems for church and royal festivities, and organ concertos, which he interpolated into his oratorio performances. He composed only three hymn tunes, one of which (GOPSAL) still appears in some modern hymnals. A number of hymnal editors, including Lowell Mason, took themes from some of Handel's oratorios and turned them into hymn tunes; ANTIOCH is one example, long associated with “Joy to the World.” Bert Polman

John Bacchus Dykes

1823 - 1876 Person Name: John B. Dykes Composer of "ST. BEES" in The Hymnal As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern. Bert Polman
