My Lord! I’d follow Thee;
As Thou hast done, so would I do,
As Thou art, would I be.

To do Thy Father’s will;
May the same zeal my soul excite
Thy precepts to fulfill.
3 Meekness, humility, and love
Did through Thy conduct shine;
O may my whole deportment prove
A copy, Lord! of Thine.

I’ll tread the heavenly road;
With willing mind Thy footsteps trace,
And climb to Thine abode.
5 O let me run the Christian race
With diligence and speed!
God’s word, His Spirit, and His grace,
Do all to duty lead.

Samuel Sebastian Wesley
1810 - 1876 Composer of "APOSTLES" in The Cyber Hymnal Samuel Sebastian Wesley (b. London, England, 1810; d. Gloucester, England, 1876) was an English organist and composer. The grandson of Charles Wesley, he was born in London, and sang in the choir of the Chapel Royal as a boy. He learned composition and organ from his father, Samuel, completed a doctorate in music at Oxford, and composed for piano, organ, and choir. He was organist at Hereford Cathedral (1832-1835), Exeter Cathedral (1835-1842), Leeds Parish Church (1842-1849), Winchester Cathedral (1849-1865), and Gloucester Cathedral (1865-1876). Wesley strove to improve the standards of church music and the status of church musicians; his observations and plans for reform were published as A Few Words on Cathedral Music and the Music System of the Church (1849). He was the musical editor of Charles Kemble's A Selection of Psalms and Hymns (1864) and of the Wellburn Appendix of Original Hymns and Tunes (1875) but is best known as the compiler of The European Psalmist (1872), in which some 130 of the 733 hymn tunes were written by him.

John Austin
1613 - 1669 Author of "Hail, glorious spirits, heirs of light" in Hymnal for Colleges and Schools See also Birchley, William, 1613-1699
John Austin, born 1613, Walpole, Norfolk; died 1669, London was a Catholic author who wrote under the pseudonym William Birchley.
Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal, 1908
=====================
Austin, John, born at Walpole, Norfolk, and educated at St. John's, Cambridge (cr. 1640). He became a Roman Catholic, entered Lincoln's Inn to study for the Bar: subsequently became a tutor, and finally devoted himself to literature. Died in London, 1669. His works include The Christian Moderator, Reflections upon the Oaths of Supremacy, and:—
Devotions in the Antient Way of Offices Containing Exercises for every day in the Week. 1668. This last work, through which Austin is associated with hymnody, attained a 2nd ed. in 1672,3rd ed. 1684, and two 4th eds. 1685. (A second part, consisting of a Harmony of the Gospels, was also published, and is of excessive rarity. A third, according to Anthony a Wood, existed in MS.) It was a Roman Catholic Manual, and contained 43 hymns, 39 of which are in the first edition, and those added in the third edition are perhaps by the editor. A few of these were renderings from the Latin by R. Crashaw, altered and adapted by Austin. In 1686 it was adapted for members of the Church of England by Theophilus Dorrington, and again in 1687 by the Lady Susanna Hopton under the editorship of George Hickes, afterwards a Nonjuring Bishop. Of the 5th ed., 1717, of the last adaptation, a reprint was published by Masters in 1856. [William T. Brooke]
