This is the day the Lord hath made

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 595 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This is the day the Lord hath made, he calls the hours his own; let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad, and praise surround the throne. 2 To-day he rose and left the dead, and Satan's empire fell; to-day the saints his triumphs spread, and all his wonders tell. 3 Hosanna to the anointed King, to David's holy Son. O help us, Lord, descend and bring salvation from thy throne. 4 Blest be the Lord, who comes to men with messages of grace; who comes, in God his Father's name, to save our sinful race. 5 Hosanna in the highest strains the Church on earth can raise; the highest heavens in which he reigns shall give him nobler praise.

The Church of God a kingdom is

Author: Lionel Muirhead, 1845-1925 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Church of God a kingdom is, where Christ in pow'r doth reign; where spirits yearn till, seen in bliss, their Lord shall come again. 2 Glad companies of saints possess this Church below, above; and God’s perpetual calm doth bless their paradise of love. 3 An altar stands within the shrine whereon, once sacrificed, is set, immaculate, divine, the Lamb of God, the Christ. 4 There rich and poor, from countless lands, praise God on mystic rood; there nations reach forth holy hands to take God’s holy food. 5 There pure life-giving streams o’erflow the sower’s garden-ground; and faith and hope fair blossoms show, and fruits of love abound. 6 O King, O Christ, this endless grace to all your people bring, to see the vision of your face in joy, O Christ, our King.

God Make My Life a Little Light

Author: Matilda B. B. Edwards Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1867 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. God make my life a little light Within the world to glow; A little flame that burneth bright, Wherever I may go. 2. God make my life a little flower That giveth joy to all, Content to bloom in native bower, Although the place be small. 3. God make my life a little song That comforteth the sad That helpeth others to be strong, And makes the singer glad. 4. God make my life a little staff Whereon the weak may rest, That so what health and strength I have May serve my neighbors best. 5. God make my life a little hymn Of tenderness and praise, Of faith, that never waxeth dim, In all His wondrous ways. Languages: English Tune Title: CAPEL

Ralph Vaughan Williams

1872 - 1958 Person Name: R. Vaughan Williams Arranger of "CAPEL" in The Hymnal of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America 1940 Through his composing, conducting, collecting, editing, and teaching, Ralph Vaughan Williams (b. Down Ampney, Gloucestershire, England, October 12, 1872; d. Westminster, London, England, August 26, 1958) became the chief figure in the realm of English music and church music in the first half of the twentieth century. His education included instruction at the Royal College of Music in London and Trinity College, Cambridge, as well as additional studies in Berlin and Paris. During World War I he served in the army medical corps in France. Vaughan Williams taught music at the Royal College of Music (1920-1940), conducted the Bach Choir in London (1920-1927), and directed the Leith Hill Music Festival in Dorking (1905-1953). A major influence in his life was the English folk song. A knowledgeable collector of folk songs, he was also a member of the Folksong Society and a supporter of the English Folk Dance Society. Vaughan Williams wrote various articles and books, including National Music (1935), and composed numerous arrange­ments of folk songs; many of his compositions show the impact of folk rhythms and melodic modes. His original compositions cover nearly all musical genres, from orchestral symphonies and concertos to choral works, from songs to operas, and from chamber music to music for films. Vaughan Williams's church music includes anthems; choral-orchestral works, such as Magnificat (1932), Dona Nobis Pacem (1936), and Hodie (1953); and hymn tune settings for organ. But most important to the history of hymnody, he was music editor of the most influential British hymnal at the beginning of the twentieth century, The English Hymnal (1906), and coeditor (with Martin Shaw) of Songs of Praise (1925, 1931) and the Oxford Book of Carols (1928).

Samuel Longfellow

1819 - 1892 Author of "Behold, the fields are white" in Christian Science Hymnal (Rev. and enl.) Longfellow, Samuel, B. A., brother of the Poet, was born at Portland, Maine, June 18, 1819, and educated at Harvard, where he graduated in Arts in 1839, and in Theology in 1846. On receiving ordination as an Unitarian Minister, he became Pastor at Fall River, Massachusetts, 1848; at Brooklyn, 1853; and at Germantown, Pennsylvania, 1860. In 1846 he edited, with the Rev. S. Johnson (q. v.), A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion. This collection was enlarged and revised in 1848. In 1859 his Vespers was published, and in 1864 the Unitarian Hymns of the Spirit , under the joint editorship of the Rev. S. Johnson and himself. His Life of his brother, the Poet Longfellow, was published in 1886. To the works named he contributed the following hymns:— i. To A Book of Hymns , revised ed., 1848. 1.

Several are included in Martineau's Hymns, 1873. Died Oct. 3, 1892. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907), p. 685 =============== Longfellow, S., p. 685, i. Since Mr. Longfellow's death on Oct. 3, 1892, his hymns have been collected by his niece, Miss Alice Longfellow, as Hymns and Verses(Houghton, Mifflin & Co., 1904.) From this work we find many of the hymns signed Anon, in the Index to Longfellow and Johnson's Hymns of the Spirit, 1864, were his; several of these, including E. Osier's "O God unseen, yet ever near," were popular English hymns which he rewrote from his own theological standpoint. These re¬written hymns are very widely used by Unitarians and others. During the last ten years the following additional hymns by S. Long¬fellow have come into common use:— 1. Eternal One, Thou living God. Faith in God. 2. God of the earth, the sky, the sea. God in Nature. 3. God's trumpet wakes the slumbering world. Call to duty. 4. Light of ages and of nations. God in and through all time. 5. Lo, the earth is risen again. Spring. (1876.) 6. Now while we sing our closing psalm. Close of Worship. 7. O Life that maketh all things new. Unity. (1874.) 8. O Thou in Whom we live and move. The Divine Law. 9. The summer days are come again. Summer. From his hymn,"The sweet[bright] June days are come again." 10. Thou Lord of lite, our saving health. In Sickness. (1886.) Of these hymns Nos. 2, 3 appeared in the Hymns of the Spirit, 1864, and all with the dates appended in Hymns and Verses, 1904. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907) ================== http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Longfellow

Anonymous

Author of "The morning bright, with rosy light" in The Concord Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Small Church Music

Editors: G. Currie Martin Description: The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid 1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format. Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per month. The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse. Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs. Copyright notice: Rev. Clyde McLennan, performer in this collection, has assigned his performer rights in this collection to Hymnary.org. Non-commercial use of these recordings is permitted.
