Author: Charles Mackay Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11951 Meter: 12.12.12.12.10.10 First Line: Tell me, ye winged winds, that round my pathway roar Lyrics: 1 Tell me, ye wingèd winds, that round my pathway roar, Do ye not know some spot where mortals weep no more? Some lone and pleasant dell, some valley in the West, Where, free from toil and pain, the weary soul may rest? The loud wind dwindles to a whisper low, And sighed for pity as it answered, "No." 2 Tell me, thou mighty deep, whose billows round me play, Know’st thou some favored spot, some island far away, Where weary man may find the bliss for which he sighs, Where sorrow never lives, snd friendship never dies? The loud waves rolling in perpetual flow, Stopped for a while, and sighed to answer "No." 3 And thou, serenest moon, that with such holy face, Dost look upon the earth asleep in night’s embrace; Tell me, in all thy round, hast thou not seen some spot, Where miserable man might find a happier lot? Behind a cloud the moon withdrew in woe, And a voice sweet, but sad, responded, "No." 4 Tell me, my sacred soul, oh! tell me, Hope and Faith, Is there no resting place trom sorrow, sin and death? Is there no happy spot where mortals may be blest, Where grief may find a balm, and weariness a rest? Faith, Hope, and Love, best boons to mortal given, Waved their bright wings, and whispered, "Yes, in Heav’n." Languages: English Tune Title: GHAZIABAD

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy

1809 - 1847 Person Name: Felix Mendelssohn Composer of "GHAZIABAD" in The Cyber Hymnal Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (b. Hamburg, Germany, 1809; d. Leipzig, Germany, 1847) was the son of banker Abraham Mendelssohn and the grandson of philosopher Moses Mendelssohn. His Jewish family became Christian and took the Bartholdy name (name of the estate of Mendelssohn's uncle) when baptized into the Lutheran church. The children all received an excellent musical education. Mendelssohn had his first public performance at the age of nine and by the age of sixteen had written several symphonies. Profoundly influenced by J. S. Bach's music, he conducted a performance of the St. Matthew Passion in 1829 (at age 20!) – the first performance since Bach's death, thus reintroducing Bach to the world. Mendelssohn organized the Domchor in Berlin and founded the Leipzig Conservatory of Music in 1843. Traveling widely, he not only became familiar with various styles of music but also became well known himself in countries other than Germany, especially in England. He left a rich treasury of music: organ and piano works, overtures and incidental music, oratorios (including St. Paul or Elijah and choral works, and symphonies. He harmonized a number of hymn tunes himself, but hymnbook editors also arranged some of his other tunes into hymn tunes. Bert Polman
