Mott Williams Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: "O let the children come to me," Dear Savior, thou commandest: And for these innocents we see How thou in welcome standest. Still goes thy Spirit freely forth, To gladden souls that need thee, And thou bestowest heavenly birth, If they like children heed thee, For theirs the kingdom is. By water and the Spirit thou Our sinful nature cleansest; Thy word doth show the path to go, And daily grace thou sendest. O may thy sanctifying love Surround us all with blessing; And may we all thy favour prove In daily thee confessing, Abiding close to thee. 314 O soul of man, remember well The holy Name thou bearest: Of everything that tongue can tell That Name is still the dearest. O child of God, his voice attend, Live worthy of his choosing; For he is thy eternal friend: Beware lest thou be losing His grace so freely thine.

Winfred Douglas

1867 - 1944 Arranger and Harmonizer of "SUSSEX" in The Hymnal Charles Winfred Douglas (b. Oswego, NY, 1867; d. Santa Rosa, CA, 1944), an influential leader in Episcopalian liturgical and musical life. Educated at Syracuse University and St. Andrews Divinity School, Syracuse, New York, he moved to Colorado for his health. There he studied at St. Matthew's Hall, Denver, and founded the Mission of the Transfiguration in Evergreen (1897). Ordained a priest in the Episcopal Church in 1899, he also studied in France, Germany and England, where he spent time with the Benedictines of Solesmes on the Island of Wight from 1903 to 1906. For much of his life, Douglas served as director of music at the Community of St. Mary in Peekskill, New York, and had associations with cathedrals in Denver, Colorado, and Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. He promoted chanting and plainsong in the Episcopal Church through workshops and publications such as The American Psalter (1929), the Plainsong Psalter (1932), and the Monastic Diurnal (1932). His writings include program notes for the Denver Symphony Orchestra, various hymn preludes; organ, as well as the book, Church Music in History and Practice (1937). He was editor of both the Hymnal 1916 and its significant successor, Hymnal 1940, of the Episcopal Church. Douglas's other achievements include a thorough knowledge of the life and culture of Hopi and Navajo natives, among whom he lived for a number of years. Bert Polman

Johan Olof Wallin

1779 - 1839 Person Name: Johan O. Wallin, 1779-1839 Author of ""O let the children come to Me"" in The Hymnal Johan Olaf Wallin was born at Stora Tuna, in 1779, and early displayed his poetical powers. In 1805, and again in 1809, he gained the chief prize for poetry at Upsala. In the latter year he became pastor at Solna; here his ability as a preacher was so striking that he was transferred to Stockholm, in 1815, as "pastor primarius," a title for which we have no exact equivalent. In 1818 he was made Dean of Westeras, and set about the task of editing a revised hymn-book for the whole of Sweden. This task he completed in 1819, and published it as, Den Swenska Psalmboken, af Konungen gillad och stadfästad (The Swedish hymn-book, approved and confirmed by the King). To it he contributed some 150 hymns of his own, besides translations and recastings; and the book remains now in the form in which he brought it out. It is highly prized by the Swedes, and is in use everywhere. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, p. 1000 (1907)
