Of sweet unbroken rest;
The rest of faith thy soul shall keep,
He that believes is ever blest.
Refrain:
Put on thy strength, O Zion, rise,
And fix thy trust above the skies;
Move out on faith’s almighty plane,
Through Him that loved us dare to reign.
2 The gift of faith no limit knows,
Save God’s unbounded Word;
It triumphs o’er its giant foes,
And glorifies the blessed Lord. [Refrain]
3 Stay not in feeble unbelief,
When God commands be strong;
Be strong in Him, the Word believe,
And shout the overcomer’s song. [Refrain]
4 I can do all in Jesus’ name,
Thus sings the faith of God;
It sings and hills of trouble flee,
It rides triumphant on the flood. [Refrain]

Hear, O My Lord, Regard My Cry
Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns to the Living God #17 (2023) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Hear, O my LORD, regard my cry,
my prayer from lips sincere;
send Thine approval from on high,
to make my standing clear;
and greatly as my heart is tried,
O may I not have turned aside;
and greatly as my heart is tried,
O may I not have turned aside.
2 LORD, I resolve with firm desire
no wrong to speak or do;
Thy path alone I choose for mine,
to walk with purpose true;
I cry for help, O LORD to Thee
assured that Thou wilt answer me;
I cry for help, O LORD to Thee
assured that Thou wilt answer me.
3 O keep me, LORD, may I be found
the apple of Thine eye;
with deadly foes arrayed around
to Thee alone I cry;
my only trust and refuge be;
and let Thy wings o'ershadow me;
my only trust and refuge be;
and let Thy wings o'ershadow me.
4 Guard me from those whose joy and pride
and portion is below;
who, with life's treasures satisfied,
no better purpose know;
who, with earth's stores of wealth content,
must leave them all when life is spent;
who, with earth's stores of wealth content,
must leave them all when life is spent.
5 When, clothed in righteousness at last,
Thy glorious face I see,
when all this weary night is past,
and I awake with Thee
to view the glories that abide,
Then– how I shall be satisfied!
to view the glories that abide,
Then– how I shall be satisfied!

Hear, O My Lord, Regard My Cry
Most High and Holy Trinity!
Author: Angelus; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Lyra Germanica #51 (1861) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.8 Lyrics:
Most High and Holy Trinity!
Who of Thy mercy mild
Hast formed me here in Time, to be
Thy image and Thy child:
Oh let me love Thee day and night
With all my soul, with all my might;
Oh come, Thyself my soul prepare,
And make Thy dwelling ever there!
Father! replenish with Thy grace
This longing heart of mine,
Make it Thy quiet dwelling-place,
Thy sacred inmost shrine!
Forgive that oft my spirit wears
Her time and strenght in trivial cares,
Enfold her in Thy changeless peace,
So she from all but Thee may cease!
Oh God the Son! Thy wisdom's light
On my dark reason pour;
Forgive that things of sense and sight
Were all her joy of yore;
Henceforth let every thought and deed
On Thee be fixed, from Thee proceed,
Draw me to Thee, for I would rise
Above these earthly vanities!
Oh Holy Ghost! Thou fire of love,
Enkindle with Thy flame my will;
Come with Thy strength, Lord, from above,
Help me Thy bidding to fulfil:
Forgive that I so oft have done
What I as sinful ought to shun;
Let me with pure and quenchless fire
Thy favour and Thyself desire!
Most High and Holy Trinity!
Draw me away far hence,
And fix upon eternity
All powers of soul and sense!
Make me at one within; at one
With Thee on earth; when life is done
Take me to dwell in light with Thee,
Most High and Holy Trinity! Languages: English
Most High and Holy Trinity!

William F. Sherwin
1826 - 1888 Person Name: William Fiske Sherwin Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.8 Composer of "COCKFOSTERS" in The Cyber Hymnal Sherwin, William Fisk, an American Baptist, was born at Buckland, Massachusetts, March 14,1826. His educational opportunities, so far as schools were concerned, were few, but he made excellent use of his time and surroundings. At fifteen he went to Boston and studied music under Dr. Mason: In due course he became a teacher of vocal music, and held several important appointments in Massachusetts; in Hudson and Albany, New York County, and then in New York City. Taking special interest in Sunday Schools, he composed carols and hymn-tunes largely for their use, and was associated with the Rev. R. Lowry and others in preparing Bright Jewels, and other popular Sunday School hymn and tune books. A few of his melodies are known in Great Britain through I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos, where they are given with his signature. His hymnwriting was limited. The following pieces are in common use:—
1. Grander than ocean's story (1871). The Love of God.
2. Hark, bark, the merry Christmas bells. Christmas Carol.
3. Lo, the day of God is breaking. The Spiritual Warfare.
4. Wake the song of joy and gladness. Sunday School or Temperance Anniversary.
5. Why is thy faith, 0 Child of God, so small. Safety in Jesus.
Mr. Sherwin died at Boston, Massachusetts, April 14, 1888.

Sherwin, W. F., p. 1055, i. Another hymn from his Bright Jewels, 1869, p. 68, is "Sound the battle cry" (Christian Courage), in the Sunday School Hymnary, 1905, and several other collections.

Catherine Winkworth
1827 - 1878 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.8 Translator of "Most High and Holy Trinity!" Catherine Winkworth (b. Holborn, London, England, 1827; d. Monnetier, Savoy, France, 1878) is well known for her English translations of German hymns; her translations were polished and yet remained close to the original. Educated initially by her mother, she lived with relatives in Dresden, Germany, in 1845, where she acquired her knowledge of German and interest in German hymnody. After residing near Manchester until 1862, she moved to Clifton, near Bristol. A pioneer in promoting women's rights, Winkworth put much of her energy into the encouragement of higher education for women. She translated a large number of German hymn texts from hymnals owned by a friend, Baron Bunsen. Though often altered, these translations continue to be used in many modern hymnals. Her work was published in two series of Lyra Germanica (1855, 1858) and in The Chorale Book for England (1863), which included the appropriate German tune with each text as provided by Sterndale Bennett and Otto Goldschmidt. Winkworth also translated biographies of German Christians who promoted ministries to the poor and sick and compiled a handbook of biographies of German hymn authors, Christian Singers of Germany (1869).

========================
Winkworth, Catherine, daughter of Henry Winkworth, of Alderley Edge, Cheshire, was born in London, Sep. 13, 1829. Most of her early life was spent in the neighbourhood of Manchester. Subsequently she removed with the family to Clifton, near Bristol. She died suddenly of heart disease, at Monnetier, in Savoy, in July, 1878. Miss Winkworth published:—
Translations from the German of the Life of Pastor Fliedner, the Founder of the Sisterhood of Protestant Deaconesses at Kaiserworth, 1861; and of the Life of Amelia Sieveking, 1863.
Her sympathy with practical efforts for the benefit of women, and with a pure devotional life, as seen in these translations, received from her the most practical illustration possible in the deep and active interest which she took in educational work in connection with the Clifton Association for the Higher Education of Women, and kindred societies there and elsewhere. Our interest, however, is mainly centred in her hymnological work as embodied in her:—
(1) Lyra Germanica, 1st Ser., 1855. (2) Lyra Germanica, 2nd Ser., 1858. (3) The Chorale Book for England (containing translations from the German, together with music), 1863; and (4) her charming biographical work, the Christian Singers of Germany, 1869.
In a sympathetic article on Miss Winkworth in the Inquirer of July 20, 1878, Dr. Martineau says:—
"The translations contained in these volumes are invariably faithful, and for the most part both terse and delicate; and an admirable art is applied to the management of complex and difficult versification. They have not quite the fire of John Wesley's versions of Moravian hymns, or the wonderful fusion and reproduction of thought which may be found in Coleridge. But if less flowing they are more conscientious than either, and attain a result as poetical as severe exactitude admits, being only a little short of ‘native music'"
Dr. Percival, then Principal of Clifton College, also wrote concerning her (in the Bristol Times and Mirror), in July, 1878:—
"She was a person of remarkable intellectual and social gifts, and very unusual attainments; but what specially distinguished her was her combination of rare ability and great knowledge with a certain tender and sympathetic refinement which constitutes the special charm of the true womanly character."
Dr. Martineau (as above) says her religious life afforded "a happy example of the piety which the Church of England discipline may implant.....The fast hold she retained of her discipleship of Christ was no example of ‘feminine simplicity,' carrying on the childish mind into maturer years, but the clear allegiance of a firm mind, familiar with the pretensions of non-Christian schools, well able to test them, and undiverted by them from her first love."
Miss Winkworth, although not the earliest of modern translators from the German into English, is certainly the foremost in rank and popularity. Her translations are the most widely used of any from that language, and have had more to do with the modern revival of the English use of German hymns than the versions of any other writer.
