The saints of God! their conflict past
Author: William Dalrymple Maclagan, 1826 - 1910 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 70 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The saints of God! their conflict past,
And life's long battle won at last,
No more they need the shield or sword,
They cast them down before the Lord:
O happy saints, for ever blest,
At Jesus' feet how safe your rest!
2 The saints of God! their wanderings done,
No more their weary course they run,
No more they faint, no more they fall,
No foes oppress, no fears appall:
O happy saints, for ever blest,
In that dear home how sweet your rest!
3 The saints of God! life's voyage o'er,
Safe landed on that blissful shore,
No stormy tempests now they dread,
No roaring billows lift their head:
O happy saints, for ever blest,
In that calm haven of your rest! A-men.
4 The saints of God their vigil keep,
While yet their mortal bodies sleep,
Till from the dust they too shall rise
And soar triumphant to the skies:
O happy saints, rejoice and sing;
He quickly comes, your Lord and King!
5 O God of saints! to thee we cry;
O Saviour! plead for us on high;
O Holy Ghost! our guide and friend,
Grant us thy grace till life shall end;
That with all saints our rest may be
In that bright Paradise with thee!
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Saints' Days - Minor Festivals; The Life In Christ Commemoration Used With Tune: NYBERG
The saints of God! their conflict past
O God! How Often Hath Thine Ear
Author: William M. Bunting Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God! how often hath Thine ear
To me in willing mercy bowed!
While worshipping Thine altar near,
Lowly I wept, and strongly vowed;
But ah! the feebleness of man!
Have I not vowed and wept in vain?
2. Return, O Lord of hosts, return!
Behold Thy servant in distress;
My faithlessness again I mourn,
Again forgive my faithlessness;
And to Thine arms my spirit take
And bless me for the Savior’s sake.
3. This day the covenant I sign,
The bond of sure and promised peace,
Nor can I doubt its power divine,
Since sealed with Jesus’ blood it is;
That blood I take, that blood alone,
And make the covenant peace mine own.
4. But, that my faith no more may know
Or change, or interval, or end,
Help me in all Thy paths to go,
And now, as e’er, my voice attend,
And gladden me with answers mild,
And dwell, O Father, with Thy child! Used With Tune: NYBERG

William Dalrymple Maclagan
1826 - 1910 Person Name: William Dalrymple Maclagan, 1826 - 1910 Author of "The saints of God! their conflict past" in Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America Maclagan, William Dalrymple , D.D., son of David Maclagan, M.D., was born in Edinburgh, June 18, 1826. In early life he entered the army, and served for some time in India. Retiring with the rank of lieutenant, he entered St. Peter's College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. 1856 and M.A. in 1860. Taking Holy Orders, he was curate of St. Saviour's, Paddington, 1856-58, and St. Stephen's, Marylebone, 1858-60. He then became Secretary to the London Diocesan Church Building Society, from 1860 to 1865; curate of Enfield, 1865-69; Rector of Newington, 1869-75; and Vicar of Kensington, 1875-78. He was also Hon. Chaplain to the Queen, and Prebendary of Reculverland in St. Paul's Cathedral, London. In 1878 he was consecrated Bishop of Lichfield. Bishop Maclagan's work has been mainly of a practical character, and his publications are few. The few hymns which he has written have been received with great favour, and create a desire for more of the same kind and quality. The following are in common use.:—
1. Again the trumpet sounds. Missions. Written about 1870. Appeared in the Hymns Ancient & Modern Hymns Ancient & Modern series of Hymns for Mission Services. 1871.
2. Be still, my soul, for God is near. Holy Communion. Part ii. is “O Body, broken for my sake." Written about 1873 for St. Mary's, Newington. In Thring's Collection, 1882.
3. Holy Spirit, Lord of love. Confirmation. Written about 1873, and published in Mrs. C. Brock's Children's Hymn Book, 1884.
4. It is finished, blessed Jesus [Saviour]. Good Friday. Written for Hymns Ancient & Modern, 1875. In several collections.
5. Lord, when Thy Kingdom comes, remember me. Good Friday. Written for the 1875 ed. of Hymns Ancient & Modern. Sometimes given in two parts: Pt. ii. Beginning, “Lord, when with dying lips my prayer is said."
6. The Saints of God their conflict past. All Saints. First published in Church Bells, 1870; and again in the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge Church Hymns, 1871.
7. What thanks and praise to Thee we owe. St. Luke. Written for the 1875 edition of Hymns Ancient & Modern
These hymns are of more than usual merit, being characterized by great simplicity, tenderness, and fervour. The special season or purpose is clearly indicated, and its lessons earnestly enforced.
-- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
=============
Maclagan, Abp. W. D., pp. 709, i.; 1578, ii. At the present time all Abp. Maclagan's hymns are in common use, and most of his tunes likewise. With regard to the latter, it is exceptional to find so many tunes by the author of popular hymns sharing the same popularity in the principal hymnals. In Church Hymnal, 1903, and Hymns Ancient & Modern, 1904, combined, there are eight of his tunes, whilst the hymns are six in all.

W. M. Bunting
1805 - 1866 Person Name: William M. Bunting Author of "O God! How Often Hath Thine Ear" in The Cyber Hymnal Bunting, William Maclardie, son of Dr. Jabez Bunting, a well-known Wesleyan minister, was born at Manchester, Nov. 23,1805, and educated at the Wesleyan Schools at Woodhouse Grove, and Kingswood, and at St. Saviour's Grammar School, Southwark. In 1824 he entered the Wesleyan Ministry, and continued in active circuit work for twenty-five years. Failing health then compelled him to retire upon the Supernumerary list, when he took up his residence in London, and died there on Nov. 13, 1866. In addition to editing the Select Letters of Agnes Bulmer, &c, 1842, and engaging in other literary labours, he contributed hymns to the Methodist Magazine (under the nom de plume of Alec) from time to time, and specially 43 to Dr. Leifchild's Original Hymns, 1842. Of these Dr. Leifchild rejected 8, and abbreviated 2. In 1842 these 10 hymns were published as An Instrument of Ten Strings, strung in aid of the Wesleyan Missions, By Alec. Other hymns by him were included in his Memorials, &c, published by the Rev. G. S. Rowe in 1870. Although a few of these hymns have come into common use, they have failed as a whole to command public attention.
Those in common use are:—
1. Blessed are the pure in heart, They have, &c. Purity.
2. Blest Spirit! from the Eternal Sire. Holy Spirit.
3. Dear is the day which God hath made. Sunday.
4. Father, our child we place. Holy Baptism.
5. Holy Spirit, pity me. Lent.
6. O blessed, blessed sounds of grace. After Sermon.
7. O crucified, triumphant Lord. Holy Baptism.
8. O God, how often hath Thine ear. Renewing the Covenant. Written in 1824, and given in the Supplement to the Wesleyan Hymn Book 1830. This is the best known of his hymns.
9. Thou doest all things well. God all in all. Most of these hymns are in the revised Wesleyan Hymn Book, 1875; Nos. 1-4 and 6 were in Dr. Leifchild's Original Hymns, 1842, and all are in the Memorials, 1870.
-- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
