Appears in 312 hymnals First Line: Blessed be the Lord God of Israel Lyrics: 1 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people; 2 And hath raised up a mighty salvation for us, in the house of his servant David; 3 As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets, which have been since the world began; 4 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us. 5 To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 6 To perform the oath which he sware to our forefather Abraham, that he would give us; 7 That we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear; 8 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. 9 And thou child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; 10 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people for the remission of their sins, 11 Through the tender mercy of our God: whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us; 12 To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace. Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen Used With Tune: [Blessed be the Lord God of Israel]

William Henry Monk

1823 - 1889 Person Name: W. H. Monk Composer of "[Blessed be the Lord God of Israel] (Monk)" in The Church Hymnal William H. Monk (b. Brompton, London, England, 1823; d. London, 1889) is best known for his music editing of Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861, 1868; 1875, and 1889 editions). He also adapted music from plainsong and added accompaniments for Introits for Use Throughout the Year, a book issued with that famous hymnal. Beginning in his teenage years, Monk held a number of musical positions. He became choirmaster at King's College in London in 1847 and was organist and choirmaster at St. Matthias, Stoke Newington, from 1852 to 1889, where he was influenced by the Oxford Movement. At St. Matthias, Monk also began daily choral services with the choir leading the congregation in music chosen according to the church year, including psalms chanted to plainsong. He composed over fifty hymn tunes and edited The Scottish Hymnal (1872 edition) and Wordsworth's Hymns for the Holy Year (1862) as well as the periodical Parish Choir (1840-1851). Bert Polman
