ST. VICTOR
The Darkness Now Is Over
Hymnal: The Children's Hymnbook #56 (1962) Lyrics: 1 The darkness now is over,
And all the world is bright;
Praise be to Christ, who keepeth
His children safe at night!
2 We cannot tell what gladness
May be our lot today,
What sorrow or temptation
May meet us on our way.
3 But this we know most surely,
That, through all good or ill,
God's grace can always help us
To do His holy will.
4 Then, Jesus, let the angels,
Who watched us through the night,
Be all day long beside us
To guide our steps aright.
5 And help us to remember
In thought and deed and word
That we are heirs of Heaven
And children of the Lord.
6 Then, when the evening cometh,
We'll kneel again to pray,
And thank Thee for the blessings
Bestowed throughout the day.

Melchior Vulpius
1570 - 1615 Composer of "HEIDELBERG" in The Presbyterian Book of Praise Born into a poor family named Fuchs, Melchior Vulpius (b. Wasungen, Henneberg, Germany, c. 1570; d. Weimar, Germany, 1615) had only limited educational opporÂtunities and did not attend the university. He taught Latin in the school in Schleusingen, where he Latinized his surname, and from 1596 until his death served as a Lutheran cantor and teacher in Weimar. A distinguished composer, Vulpius wrote a St. Matthew Passion (1613), nearly two hundred motets in German and Latin, and over four hundred hymn tunes, many of which became popular in Lutheran churches, and some of which introduced the lively Italian balletto rhythms into the German hymn tunes. His music was published in Cantiones Sacrae (1602, 1604), Kirchengesangund Geistliche Lieder (1604, enlarged as Ein schon geistlich Gesanglmch, 1609), and posthumousÂly in Cantionale Sacrum (1646).

Richard Redhead
1820 - 1901 Person Name: R. Redhead Composer of "ST. VICTOR" in The Church Hymnary Richard Redhead (b. Harrow, Middlesex, England, 1820; d. Hellingley, Sussex, England, 1901) was a chorister at Magdalen College, Oxford. At age nineteen he was invited to become organist at Margaret Chapel (later All Saints Church), London. Greatly influencing the musical tradition of the church, he remained in that position for twenty-five years as organist and an excellent trainer of the boys' choirs. Redhead and the church's rector, Frederick Oakeley, were strongly committed to the Oxford Movement, which favored the introduction of Roman elements into Anglican worship. Together they produced the first Anglican plainsong psalter, Laudes Diurnae (1843). Redhead spent the latter part of his career as organist at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Paddington (1864-1894).
