Liberator Lord (2)
For the Might of Thine Arm
Author: Charles Silvester Horne, 1865-1914 Appears in 21 hymnals First Line: For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee Lyrics: 1. For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee,
our God, our fathers’ God;
Thou hast kept Thy pilgrim people
by the strength of Thy staff and rod;
Thou hast called us to the journey
which faithless feet ne’er trod;
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee,
our God, our fathers’ God.
2. For the love of Christ constraining,
that bound their hearts as one;
For the faith in truth and freedom
in which their work was done;
For the peace of God’s evangel
wherewith their feet were shod;
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee,
our God, our fathers’ God.
3. We are watchers of a beacon
whose light must never die;
We are guardians of an altar
that shows Thee ever nigh;
We are children of Thy freemen
who sleep beneath the sod;
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee,
our God, our fathers’ God.
4. May the shadow of Thy presence
around our camp be spread;
Baptize us with the courage
Thou gavest to our dead;
O keep us in the pathway
their saintly feet have trod;
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee,
our God, our fathers’ God. Used With Tune: [For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee]

The Voice of God Is Calling
Author: John Haynes Holmes, 1879-1964 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 66 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The voice of God is calling
Its summons unto men;
As once he spake in Zion,
So now he speaks again:
Whom shall I send to comfort
My people in their need?
Whom shall I send to loosen
The bonds of shame and greed?
2 I hear my people crying
In cot and mine and slum;
No field or mart is silent,
No city street is dumb.
I see my people falling
In darkness and despair.
Whom shall I send to shatter
The fetters which they bear?
3 We heed, O Lord, thy summons
And answer: Here are we!
Send us upon thine errand!
Let us thy servants be!
Our strength is dust and ashes,
Our years a passing hour;
But thou canst use our weakness
To magnify thy power.
4 From ease and plenty save us,
From pride of place absolve;
Purge us of low desire,
Lift us to high resolve.
Teach us and make us holy,
Teach us thy will and way;
Speak, and, behold we answer!
Command, and we obey!
5 Great God of earth and heaven,
To thee our songs we raise;
To thee be glory given
And everlasting praise:
We joyfully confess thee,
Eternal Triune God;
We magnify, we bless thee,
And spread thy praise abroad. Amen. Topics: The Church Social Concern Used With Tune: CORMAC

Composer of "[For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee]" in The Cyber 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.

Martin Shaw
1875 - 1958 Person Name: Martin Shaw, 1875 - 1958 Arranger of "CORMAC" in The Book of Praise Martin F. Shaw was educated at the Royal College of Music in London and was organist and choirmaster at St. Mary's, Primrose Hill (1908-1920), St. Martin's in the Fields (1920-1924), and the Eccleston Guild House (1924-1935). From 1935 to 1945 he served as music director for the diocese of Chelmsford. He established the Purcell Operatic Society and was a founder of the Plainsong and Medieval Society and what later became the Royal Society of Church Music.
Author of The Principles of English Church Music Composition (1921), Shaw was a notable reformer of English church music. He worked with Percy Dearmer (his rector at St. Mary's in Primrose Hill); Ralph Vaughan Williams, and his brother Geoffrey Shaw in publishing hymnals such as Songs of Praise (1925, 1931) and the Oxford Book of Carols (1928). A leader in the revival of English opera and folk music scholarship, Shaw composed some one hundred songs as well as anthems and service music; some of his best hymn tunes were published in his Additional Tunes in Use at St. Mary's (1915).
