The Everlasting Love of God

Author: Kent Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #10 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: 'Twas with an everlasting love Lyrics: 1 ’Twas with an everlasting love That God his own elect embraced; Before he made the worlds above, Or earth on her huge columns placed. 2 Long ere the sun’s refulgent ray Primeval shades of darkness drove, They on his sacred bosom lay, Loved with an everlasting love. 3 Then in the glass of his decrees, Christ and his bride appeared as one; Her sin, by imputation, his, Whilst she in spotless splendour shone. 4 O love, how high thy glories swell! How great, immutable, and free! Ten thousand sins, as black as hell, Are swallowed up, O love, in thee! 5 [Loved, when a wretch defiled with sin, At war with heaven, in league with hell, A slave to every lust obscene; Who, living, lived but to rebel.] 6 Believer, here thy comfort stands – From first to last salvation’s free, And everlasting love demands An everlasting song from thee.

Daniel Read

1757 - 1836 Person Name: Read Composer of "WINDHAM" in The Primitive Baptist Hymnal Daniel Read; b. 1757, Rehoboth, Mass.; d. 1837, New Haven, Conn.An American composer and a primary figure in early American classical music. He was one of the “Yankee Tunesmiths” (1st New England School of Music) when classical music was popular in Europe. Read was a private in Massachusetts militia and later a comb maker and owner of a general store in New Haven, CN. He was only the 3rd composer in the U. S. to put out a collection of his own music. His work, “The American Singing Book” went through 5 editions, making him the most popular composer in the nation. Others often plagarized his tunes in those days. Tunebook sales supplemented his general store income, including “The Columbian Harmonist” (3 volumnes) with 3 revisions, and “The New Haven Collection of Sacred Music” 1818. Read also published “The American Musical magazine” in 12 annual issues in 1786 and 1787. In later years he came to appreciate European music more and imitated that styling in devotional music. Some of Read's music is still being performed, and selections have been published in “The Sacred Harp”, 1991 Edition, and the “Stoughton Music Society” (Centennial Collection 1980). John Perry

John Kent

1766 - 1843 Person Name: Kent Author of "'Twas with an everlasting love" in The Primitive Baptist Hymnal Kent, John, was born at Bideford, Devonshire, Dec. 1766, and died Nov. 15, 1843. As a working shipwright his opportunities for acquiring the education and polish necessary for the production of refined verse were naturally limited. His hymns are strongly worded, very earnest and simple, and intensely Calvinistic. A few were published in Samuel Reece's Collection, 1799. The first edition of his Collection of Original Gospel Hymns, was published in 1803, and the 10th edition, with "The Author's Experience," in verse, 264 hymns, 15 longer pieces, and a Life by his Son in 1861. The Calvinistic teaching so prominent in his hymns has restricted their use to a limited number of collections. The greatest use made of them in modern hymnbooks has been by Mr. Spurgeon (Our Own Hymn Book, 1866) and Mr. Snepp (Songs of Grace & Glory, 1872). In the following list the dates in brackets indicate the dates of publication:— 1. Before the Almighty began (1841). Election. 2. Betroth'd in love, ere time began (1803). Election. 3. Christ exalted is our song (1803). Christ the sin tier's Surety. 4. Come saints, and sing in sweet accord (1803). Stability of the Covenant. 5. Hark, how the blood-bought host above (1803).
