O God of Mercy, God of Light

Author: Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 104 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of mercy, God of light, In love and mercy infinite, Teach us, as ever in your sight, To live our lives in you. 2 You sent your Son to die for all, That our lost world might hear your call; Oh, hear us, lest we stray and fall! We rest our hope in you. 3 Teach us the lesson Jesus taught: To feel for those his blood has bought, That ev'ry deed and word and thought May work a work for you. 4 For all are kindred, far and wide, Since Jesus Christ for all has died; Grant us the will, and grace provide To love them all in you. 5 In sickness, sorrow, want, or care, Each other's burdens help us share; May we, where help is needed, there Give help as though to you. 6 And may your Holy Spirit move All those who live to live in love, Till you receive in heav'n above Those who have lived to you.

Just as I Am, Without One Plea

Author: Charlotte Elliott Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 2,098 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I Am, Thine Own to Be

Author: Marianne Hearn Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 224 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Just as I am, Thine own to be, Friend of the young, who lovest me, To consecrate myself to Thee, O Jesus Christ, I come. 2. In the glad morning of my day, My life to give, my vows to pay, With no reserve and no delay, With all my heart I come. 3. I would live ever in the light, I would work ever for the right; I would serve Thee with all my might; Therefore, to Thee I come. 4. Just as I am, young, strong, and free, To be the best that I can be For truth, and righteousness, and Thee, Lord of my life, I come. 5. With many dreams of fame and gold, Success and joy to make me bold, But dearer still my faith to hold, For my whole life, I come. 6. And for Thy sake to win renown, And then to take the victor’s crown, And at Thy feet to cast it down, O Master, Lord, I come.

Samuel Sebastian Wesley

1810 - 1876 Meter: 8.8.8.6 Composer of "HARBRIDGE" in The Cyber Hymnal Samuel Sebastian Wesley (b. London, England, 1810; d. Gloucester, England, 1876) was an English organist and composer. The grandson of Charles Wesley, he was born in London, and sang in the choir of the Chapel Royal as a boy. He learned composition and organ from his father, Samuel, completed a doctorate in music at Oxford, and composed for piano, organ, and choir. He was organist at Hereford Cathedral (1832-1835), Exeter Cathedral (1835-1842), Leeds Parish Church (1842­-1849), Winchester Cathedral (1849-1865), and Gloucester Cathedral (1865-1876). Wesley strove to improve the standards of church music and the status of church musicians; his observations and plans for reform were published as A Few Words on Cathedral Music and the Music System of the Church (1849). He was the musical editor of Charles Kemble's A Selection of Psalms and Hymns (1864) and of the Wellburn Appendix of Original Hymns and Tunes (1875) but is best known as the compiler of The European Psalmist (1872), in which some 130 of the 733 hymn tunes were written by him.

George J. Elvey

1816 - 1893 Meter: 8.8.8.6 Composer of "ST. CRISPIN" in The Hymnal George Job Elvey (b. Canterbury, England, 1816; d. Windlesham, Surrey, England, 1893) As a young boy, Elvey was a chorister in Canterbury Cathedral. Living and studying with his brother Stephen, he was educated at Oxford and at the Royal Academy of Music. At age nineteen Elvey became organist and master of the boys' choir at St. George Chapel, Windsor, where he remained until his retirement in 1882. He was frequently called upon to provide music for royal ceremonies such as Princess Louise's wedding in 1871 (after which he was knighted). Elvey also composed hymn tunes, anthems, oratorios, and service music. Bert Polman

Joseph Barnby

1838 - 1896 Person Name: Sir Joseph Barnby, 1838-1896 Meter: 8.8.8.6 Composer of "JUST AS I AM" in Hymnal of the Church of God Joseph Barnby (b. York, England, 1838; d. London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873). Bert Polman
