O Jehovah, Hear My Words
Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 5 Lyrics: 1. O Jehovah, hear my words,
To my thought attentive be;
Hear my cry, My King, my God,
I will make my prayer to Thee.
With the morning light, O Lord,
Thou shalt hear my voice arise,
And expectant I will bring
Prayer as morning sacrifice.
2. Thou, Jehovah, art a God
Who delightest not in sin;
Evil shall not dwell with Thee,
Nor the proud Thy favor win.
Evil-doers Thou dost hate,
Lying tongues Thou wilt defeat;
God abhors the man who loves
Violence and base deceit.
3. In the fullness of Thy grace
To Thy house I will repair;
Bowing toward Thy holy place,
In Thy fear will worship there.
Lead me in Thy righteousness,
Let my foes assail in vain;
Lest my feet be turned aside,
Make Thy way before me plain.
4. False and faithless are my foes,
In their mouth no truth is found;
Deadly are the words they speak,
All their thoughts with sin abound.
Bring, O God, their plans to naught,
Hold them guilty in Thy sight,
For against Thee and Thy law
They have set themselves to fight.
5. O let all that trust Thy care
Ever glad and joyful be;
Let them joy who love Thy Name,
Safely guarded, Lord, by Thee.
For a blessing from Thy store
To the righteous Thou wilt yield;
Thou wilt compass him about
With Thy favor as a shield. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer Used With Tune: REHOBOTH
O Jehovah, Hear My Words
No Longer, Lord, Despise me
Author: Rev. Edward A. Collier Meter: 7.7.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 6 Lyrics: 1. No longer, Lord, despise me,
Nor in Thy wrath chastise me,
Thy mercy I implore:
How long Thine anger cherish!
Consumed thereby I perish;
My soul is troubled sore.
2. To me, O Lord, returning,
Save Thou, with pity yearning.
Shall death Thy mem'ry keep?
Or shall the grave confess Thee?
Or I give thanks and bless Thee,
While day and night I weep?
3. Thro' weeping unavailing
My very eyes are failing;
But now, depart from me
All ye the evil choosing;
The Lord, no more refusing,
Hath heard my tearful plea.
4. The Lord will ever hear me,
And when I pray be near me,
To put my foes to shame;
Turned back, no more to grieve me,
They suddenly shall leave me.

The Heavens Declare Thy Glory
Author: Thomas R. Birks Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 58 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 19 First Line: The heav,ns declare Thy glory Lyrics: 1 The heav'ns declare Thy glory,
The firmament Thy pow'r;
Day unto day the story
Repeats from hour to hour;
Night unto night replying,
Proclaims in ev'ry land,
O Lord, with voice undying,
The wonders of Thy hand.
2 The sun with royal splendor
Goes forth to chant Thy praise,
And moon-beams soft and tender
Their gentler anthem raise:
O'er ev'ry tribe and nation
The music strange is poured;
The song of all creation
To Thee, creation's Lord.
3 All heav'n on high rejoices
To do its Maker's will;
The stars with solemn voice
Resound Thy praises still:
So let my whole behavior,
Tho'ts, words, and actions be,
O Lord, my Strength, my Savior,
One ceaseless song to Thee. Topics: God in Nature Used With Tune: FAITHFUL

Sept. 1810, and educated at Trinity College, Cambridge (B.A. 1834, M.A. 1837), of which he subsequently became a Fellow. Having taken Holy Orders in 1837, he became Rector of Kelshall, Herts, 1844; Vicar of Holy Trinity, Cambridge, 1866; Hon. Canon of Ely Cathedral, 1871; and Professor of Moral Philosophy, Cambridge, 1872. He d. at Cambridge, July 21, 1883. His works, to the number of 25, include Biblical, Astronomical, Scientific, Prophetic, and other subjects. He also wrote the Memoirs of the Rev. E Bickersteth (his father-in-law), 2 vols., 1851. His hymns appeared in Bickersteth's Christian Psalmody; 1833; and, together with Versions of the Psalms, in his Companion Psalter, 1874. They number upwards of 100. [Eng. Psalters, § xx.] Very few are in common use in Great Britain, but in America their use is extending. They include:—
1. Except the Lord do build the house. Ps. cxxvii.
2. O come, let us sing to the Lord. Ps. xcv.
3. O King of Mercy, from Thy throne on high. Ps. lxxx.
4. O taste and see that He is good. Ps. xxxiv.
5. O when from all the ends of earth. Psj xiv.

10. Whom have I [we] Lord in heaven, but Thee. Ps. lxxiii.
Of these versions of the Psalms, all of which date from 1874, the most popular is No. 3. Mr. Birks' compositions are worthy of greater attention than they have hitherto received.

Johann Sebastian Bach
1685 - 1750 Person Name: John Sebastian Bach, 1685-1750 Scripture: Psalm 19 Hymnal Number: 39 Composer of "FAITHFUL" in The New Christian Hymnal Johann Sebastian Bach was born at Eisenach into a musical family and in a town steeped in Reformation history, he received early musical training from his father and older brother, and elementary education in the classical school Luther had earlier attended.
Throughout his life he made extraordinary efforts to learn from other musicians. At 15 he walked to Lüneburg to work as a chorister and study at the convent school of St. Michael. From there he walked 30 miles to Hamburg to hear Johann Reinken, and 60 miles to Celle to become familiar with French composition and performance traditions. Once he obtained a month's leave from his job to hear Buxtehude, but stayed nearly four months. He arranged compositions from Vivaldi and other Italian masters. His own compositions spanned almost every musical form then known (Opera was the notable exception).
In his own time, Bach was highly regarded as organist and teacher, his compositions being circulated as models of contrapuntal technique. Four of his children achieved careers as composers; Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, and Chopin are only a few of the best known of the musicians that confessed a major debt to Bach's work in their own musical development. Mendelssohn began re-introducing Bach's music into the concert repertoire, where it has come to attract admiration and even veneration for its own sake.
After 20 years of successful work in several posts, Bach became cantor of the Thomas-schule in Leipzig, and remained there for the remaining 27 years of his life, concentrating on church music for the Lutheran service: over 200 cantatas, four passion settings, a Mass, and hundreds of chorale settings, harmonizations, preludes, and arrangements. He edited the tunes for Schemelli's Musicalisches Gesangbuch, contributing 16 original tunes. His choral harmonizations remain a staple for studies of composition and harmony. Additional melodies from his works have been adapted as hymn tunes.
