All Beautiful the March of Days

Author: Frances Whitmarsh Wile Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 86 hymnals Matching Instances: 86 Lyrics: 1 All beautiful the march of days, as seasons come and go; the hand that shaped the rose hath wrought the crystal of the snow, hath sent the hoary frost of heaven, the flowing waters sealed, and laid a silent loveliness on hill and wood and field. 2 O’er white expanses sparkling pure the radiant morns unfold; the solemn splendors of the night burn brighter through the cold; life mounts in every throbbing vein, love deepens round the hearth, Aad clearer sounds the angel hymn, “Good will to all on earth.” 3 O thou from whose unfathomed law the year in beauty flows, thyself the vision passing by in crystal and in rose, day unto day doth utter speech, and night to night proclaim, in ever changing words of light, The wonder of thy name.

All Beautiful the March of Days

Author: Frances W. Wile, 1878-1939 Hymnal: One in Faith #889 (2015) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 All beautiful the march of days, As seasons come and go. The hand that shaped the rose has wrought The crystal of the snow, Has sent the hoary frost of heav'n, The flowing waters sealed, And laid a silent loveliness On hill and wood and field. 2 O'er white expanses, sparkling pure, The radiant morns unfold; The solemn splendors of the night Burn brighter through the cold. Life mounts in ev'ry throbbing vein, Love deepens round the hearth, And clearer sounds the angel hymn, "Good will to all on earth." 3 O God, from whose unfathomed Law The year in beauty flows, Yourself the vision passing by In crystal and in rose, Day unto day shall utter speech, And night to night proclaim, In ever changing words of light, The wonder of your name.

Ralph Vaughan Williams

1872 - 1958 Arranger of "FOREST GREEN" in The Presbyterian Hymnal Through his composing, conducting, collecting, editing, and teaching, Ralph Vaughan Williams (b. Down Ampney, Gloucestershire, England, October 12, 1872; d. Westminster, London, England, August 26, 1958) became the chief figure in the realm of English music and church music in the first half of the twentieth century. His education included instruction at the Royal College of Music in London and Trinity College, Cambridge, as well as additional studies in Berlin and Paris. During World War I he served in the army medical corps in France. Vaughan Williams taught music at the Royal College of Music (1920-1940), conducted the Bach Choir in London (1920-1927), and directed the Leith Hill Music Festival in Dorking (1905-1953). A major influence in his life was the English folk song. A knowledgeable collector of folk songs, he was also a member of the Folksong Society and a supporter of the English Folk Dance Society. Vaughan Williams wrote various articles and books, including National Music (1935), and composed numerous arrange­ments of folk songs; many of his compositions show the impact of folk rhythms and melodic modes. His original compositions cover nearly all musical genres, from orchestral symphonies and concertos to choral works, from songs to operas, and from chamber music to music for films. Vaughan Williams's church music includes anthems; choral-orchestral works, such as Magnificat (1932), Dona Nobis Pacem (1936), and Hodie (1953); and hymn tune settings for organ. But most important to the history of hymnody, he was music editor of the most influential British hymnal at the beginning of the twentieth century, The English Hymnal (1906), and coeditor (with Martin Shaw) of Songs of Praise (1925, 1931) and the Oxford Book of Carols (1928).
