Author: C. A. Fox Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Trust and tremble—that is all Lyrics: 1 Trust and tremble—that is all! Trust when all is dark and rough, Tremble, for a saint may fall, Jesus sees, and that’s enough. 2 Kneel and bless the God of love, Kneel and woo His wondrous will, Secrets of the Kingdom prove, Bare thy bosom to the steel. 3 Swift the Man of sorrows now Steeps beside thee, stoops to save Ev’ry thorn upon His brow Makes thee more and more His slave. 4 Two glad services are ours, Both the Master loves to bless, First we serve with all our powers, Then with all our feebleness. 5 Nothing else thee soul uplifts Save to serve Him night and day, Serve Him when He gives His gifts, Serve Him when He takes away. 6 Children of the cloud, well done! Sanguine buds break white in flower; Rainbows follow when the sun Looks back fondly on the shower. 7 Hallelujah, Christ is Lord! Trust and tremble at His grace, Trust the Mighty Master’s Word, Tremble—He unveils His face! Used With Tune: INFANTS' PRAYER

Wearied in the Strife of Sin

Author: Right Rev. Bishop Bickersteth Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wearied in the strife of sin, Foes without and fears within; Listen, look, I hear, I see, Jesus, crucified for me. 2 Listen, how He pleads “Forgive”: Look, my soul, on Him and live; All my guilt on Jesus laid, Perfect reconcilement made. 3 Counting all the world but loss, Let me clasp the blood-stain’d cross; What can sinners crave beside Jesus only, crucified? 4 Resting in His love, forgiven, Thoughts will come of home and heaven; Listen, look, I hear, I see! Jesus crowned, and crowned for me. 5 Listen to His mighty prayer; He would have me with Him there, With the saints before His throne, Clothed in glory like His own. 6 Look, He reigns for ever now! Many crowns are on His brow; By His Father’s side adored— Priest and King, and God and Lord. 7 Yea, Amen; Thy will be done— All my prayers are breathed in one; Jesus, let me rest in Thee, Crucified and crowned for me.

Edward Henry Bickersteth

1825 - 1906 Person Name: Right Rev. Bishop Bickersteth Author of "Wearied in the Strife of Sin" in Hymns of Consecration and Faith Bickersteth, Edward Henry, D.D., son of Edward Bickersteth, Sr. born at Islington, Jan. 1825, and educated at Trinity College, Cambridge (B.A. with honours, 1847; M.A., 1850). On taking Holy Orders in 1848, he became curate of Banningham, Norfolk, and then of Christ Church, Tunbridge Wells. His preferment to the Rectory of Hinton-Martell, in 1852, was followed by that of the Vicarage of Christ Church, Hampstead, 1855. In 1885 he became Dean of Gloucester, and the same year Bishop of Exeter. Bishop Bickersteth's works, chiefly poetical, are:— (l) Poems, 1849; (2) Water from the Well-spring, 1852; (3) The Rock of Ages, 1858 ; (4) Commentary on the New Testament, 1864; (5) Yesterday, To-day, and For Ever, 1867; (6) The Spirit of Life, 1868; (7) The Two Brothers and other Poems, 1871; (8) The Master's Home Call, 1872 ; (9) The Shadowed Home and the Light Beyond, 1874; (10) The Beef and other Parables, 1873; (11) Songs in the House of Pilgrimage, N.D.; (12) From Year to Year, 1883. As an editor of hymnals, Bp. Bickersteth has also been most successful. His collections are:— (1) Psalms & Hymns, 1858, based on his father's Christian Psalmody, which passed through several editions; (2) The Hymnal Companion, 1870; (3) The Hymnal Companion revised and enlarged, 1876. Nos. 2 and 3, which are two editions of the same collection, have attained to an extensive circulation. [Ch. of England Hymnody.] About 30 of Bp. Bickersteths hymns are in common use. Of these the best and most widely known are:—" Almighty Father, hear our cry"; "Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile"; "Father of heaven above"; "My God, my Father, dost Thou call"; "O Jesu, Saviour of the lost"; "Peace, perfect peace"; "Rest in the Lord"; "Stand, Soldier of the Cross"; " Thine, Thine, for ever"; and "Till He come.” As a poet Bp. Bickersteth is well known. His reputation as a hymn-writer has also extended far and wide. Joined with a strong grasp of his subject, true poetic feeling, a pure rhythm, there is a soothing plaintiveness and individuality in his hymns which give them a distinct character of their own. His thoughts are usually with the individual, and not with the mass: with the single soul and his God, and not with a vast multitude bowed in adoration before the Almighty. Hence, although many of his hymns are eminently suited to congregational purposes, and have attained to a wide popularity, yet his finest productions are those which are best suited for private use. -John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ================= Bickersteth, Edward Henry, p. 141, ii. Bishop Bickersteth's 1890 edition of his Hymnal Companion is noted on p. 1312, i., and several of his own hymns and translations, which appear therein for the first time, are annotated in this Appendix. One of these, "All-merciful, Almighty Lord," for the Conv. of St. Paul, was written for the 1890 edition of Hymnal Companion. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907) ================== Bickersteth, B. H., p. 141, ii. Bp. Bickersteth died in London, May 16, 1906. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)

Henry J. E. Holmes

1852 - 1938 Composer of "INFANTS' PRAYER (Holmes)" Born: March 5, 1852, Burnley, Lancashire, England. Died: October 1938, Burnley, Lancashire, England. Buried: Burnley, Lancashire, England. Son of Richard and Jane Holmes, Henry’s father and great grandfather were both solicitors; his father had offices in Colne and Burnley. Henry was educated at Clitheroe Royal Grammar School. In 1875, he became an Attorney for Common Law and was admitted a Solicitor of the High Court of Chancery. He was articled to his father in November 1869, and practiced in Burnley for over 60 years, first in partnership with his brother Richard Marmaduke as Holmes and Holmes. He continued to practice on his own as Holmes and Holmes after his brother’s death in 1894, and later as Messrs. Holmes, Butterfield and Hartley. Holmes had moved from the family home on Westgate some time after the death of his sister Susannah in 1878. By 1881, he was living at 12 Palatine Square. Holmes was intimately associated with church and Sunday school work all his life. At age 17, he became a teacher and later a lay superintendent of Sandygate Sunday school, connected with Holy Trinity Church, a position he held nearly 20 years. From the 1880’s he took a deep interest in "The Home for Little Boys" at Farningham, Kent. His desire to help in this work led to the formation of the Burnley branch of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Another organization that Holmes took a great interest in was the Burnley Law Society, which he helped found in 1883; he lived to be the last survivor of the eight founders. Holmes is said to have written over 250 hymn tunes in his life. --www.hymntime.com/tch/
