He Expecteth
Author: Alice J. Janvrin Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2263 Meter: 8.5.8.3 First Line: He expecteth, He expecteth Lyrics: 1. He expecteth, He expecteth!
Down the stream of time,
Still the words come softly ringing,
Like a chime.

As the hour draws near,
When the King in all His glory,
Shall appear.

For His crowning day,
For that kingdom which shall never
Pass away.

Bow before His throne,
He expecteth loyal service
From His own.
5. He expecteth—but He heareth
Still the bitter cry
From earth’s millions, Come and help us,
For we die.
6. He expecteth—doth He see us
Busy here and there,
Heedless of those pleading accents
Of despair?
7. Shall we—dare we—disappoint Him?
Brethren, let us rise!
He who died for us is watching
From the skies.
8. Watching till His royal banner
Floateth far and wide,
Till He seeth of His travail
Satisfied! Languages: English Tune Title: BULLINGER

So our hearts would move to worship,

To have sons who love.
In the Son e'en now to praise Thee,
Love to prove!
4. 'Twas Thy thought in revelation,
To present to men
Secrets of Thine own affections,
Theirs to win.

(Vanquished evil powers!)
Thou hast brought, in new creation,
Worshippers!

¿Vives triste y angustiado?
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866; Desconocido Hymnal: Culto Cristiano #54 (1964) Meter: 8.5.8.3 Lyrics: 1 ¿Vives triste y angustiado?
¿Buscas tú solaz?
"Ven a Mí," te dice Cristo,
"Y halla paz."
2 ¿Qué señales hay que indiquen
Que Él me guía es?
En sus manos hay heridas,
Y en sus pies.
3 ¿Hay corona que le adorne
Su cabeza al rey?
Sí, corona, mas de espinas,
Luce Él.
4 Si le busco, si le sigo,
¿Cuál será su don?
Del pecado, del infierno,
Redencion.
5 Si le pido que me salve,
¿Me recibirá?
Puesto que por ti Él ha muerto,
Salvará.
6 ¿Hoy, por fe, la vida eterna
Me ha. de dar a mí?
Su Palabra te responde:
"Sí, hoy, sí."
Amén.

William Henry Monk
1823 - 1889 Person Name: W. H. Monk Meter: 8.5.8.3 Arranger of "STEPHANOS" in The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church 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).

Ludwig van Beethoven
1770 - 1827 Meter: 8.5.8.3 Composer of "BUSHNELL" A giant in the history of music, Ludwig van Beethoven (b. Bonn, Germany, 1770; d. Vienna, Austria, 1827) progressed from early musical promise to worldwide, lasting fame. By the age of fourteen he was an accomplished viola and organ player, but he became famous primarily because of his compositions, including nine symphonies, eleven overtures, thirty piano sonatas, sixteen string quartets, the Mass in C, and the Missa Solemnis. He wrote no music for congregational use, but various arrangers adapted some of his musical themes as hymn tunes; the most famous of these is ODE TO JOY from the Ninth Symphony. Although it would appear that the great calamity of Beethoven's life was his loss of hearing, which turned to total deafness during the last decade of his life, he composed his greatest works during this period.

Ira David Sankey
1840 - 1908 Meter: 8.5.8.3 Composer of "STACY" in The Cyber Hymnal Sankey, Ira David, was born in Edinburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1840, of Methodist parents. About 1856 he removed with his parents to New Castle, Pennsylvania, where he became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Four years afterwards he became the Superintendent of a large Sunday School in which he commenced his career of singing sacred songs and solos. Mr. Moody met with him and heard him sing at the International Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association, at Indianapolis, and through Mr. Moody's persuasion he joined him in his work at Chicago. After some two or three years' work in Chicago, they sailed for England on June 7, 1872, and held their first meeting at York a short time afterwards, only eight persons being present. Their subsequent work in Great Britain and America is well known.
Mr. Sankey's special duty was the singing of sacred songs and solos at religious gatherings, a practice which was in use in America for some time before he adopted it. His volume of Sacred Songs and Solos is a compilation from various sources, mainly American and mostly in use before. Although known as Sankey and Moody’s Songs, only one song, "Home at last, thy labour done" is by Mr. Sankey, and not one is by Mr. Moody. Mr. Sankey supplied several of the melodies. The English edition of the Sacred Songs & Solos has had an enormous sale; and the work as a whole is very popular for Home Mission services. The Songs have been translated into several languages.

====================
Sankey, I. D., p. 994, i. During the past fifteen years Mr. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos have had a very large sale, which has justified him in increasing the number of songs and hymns, including " New Hymns and Solos," to 1200. In 1906 he published My Life and Sacred Songs (London : Morgan & Scott). In addition to the "Story of his Own Life," the work contains an account of the most popular of his solos, with interesting reminiscences of the spiritual awakening of many who were influenced through his singing of them in public. In this respect it corresponds in some measure with G. J. Stevenson's Methodist Hymn Book, &c, 1883 (p. 1094, i.). It is an addition to the Sacred Songs and Solos, which will be held in esteem by many. In addition to his hymn, noted on p. 994, ii., Mr. Sankey gives details of the following:—
1. Out of the shadow-land into the sunshine. [Heaven Anticipated.] Mr. Sankey's account of this hymn is:—
"I wrote this hymn specially for the memorial service held for Mr. Moody in Carnegie Hall, where 1 also sang it as a solo. It is the last sacred song of which I wrote both the words and music. The idea was suggested by Mr. Moody's last words, 'Earth recedes; heaven opens before me . . . God is calling me, and I must go.' On account of its peculiar association with my fellow-labourer in the Gospel for so many years, the words are here given in full."
The hymn follows on p. 185, in 3 stanzas of 4 lines and a chorus.
2. Rejoice! Rejoice! our King is coming, [Advent.] Mr. Sankey writes concerning this hymn:—
"During one of my trips to Great Britain on the SS. City of Rome a storm raged on the sea. The wind was howling through the rigging, and waves like mountains of foam were breaking over the bow of the vessel. A great fear had fallen upon the passengers. When the storm was at its worst, we all thought we might soon go to the bottom of the sea. The conviction came to me that the Lord would be with us iu the trying hour, and sitting down in the reading room, I composed this hymn. Before reaching England the tune had formed itself in my mind, and on arriving in London I wrote it out, and had it published in Sacred Songs and Solos, where it is No. 524 in the edition. of 1888.
From Mr. Sankey's autobiographical sketch we gather that he was born at Edinburgh, in Western Pennsylvania, Aug. 28, 1840, joined Mr. Moody in 1871, and visited England for the first time in 1873. The original of the Sacred Songs, &c, of 23 pieces only, was offered as a gift to the London publishers of P. Phillips's Hallowed Song, and declined by them. It was subsequently accepted by Mr. K. O. Morgan, of Morgan & Scott, and is now a volume of 1200 hymns.
From a return kindly sent us by Messrs. Morgan & Scott, we find that the various issues of the Sacred Songs and Solos were:—
In 1873, 24 pp.; 1874, 72 pp. ; 1876, 153 hymns; 1877, 271 hymns; 1881, 441 hymns; 1888, 750 hymns; 1903, 1200 hymns.
In addition, The Christian Choir, which is generally associated with the Sacred Songs and Solos, was issued in 1884 with 75 hymns, and in 1896 with 281. The New Hymns & Solos, by the same firm, were published in 1888.
