ST LEONARD
But as for me, with confidence
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P71b (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 14 But as for me, with confidence
still hope in thee will I;
and yet with praises more and more
I will thee magnify.
15 Thy justice and thy saving help
my mouth abroad shall show,
even all the day; for I thereof
the numbers do not know.
16 And I will constantly go on
in strength of God the Lord;
and thine own righteousness, even thine
alone, I will record.
17 For even from my youth, O God,
by thee I have been taught;
and hitherto I have declared
the wonders thou hast wrought.
18 Forsake me not, O God, when I
old and gray-headed grow:
till to this age thy strength, thy power
to all to come, I show.
19 And thy most perfect righteousness
O Lord, is very high,
who hast so great things done: O God,
who is like unto thee?
20 Thou, Lord, who great adversities,
and sore, to me didst show,
shalt me revive, and bring again
from depths of earth below.
21 My greatness and my power thou wilt
increase, and far extend:
on every side against all grief
thou wilt me comfort send.
22 Thee, even thy truth, I’ll also praise,
my God, with psaltery:
thou Holy One of Israel,
with harp I’ll sing to thee.
23 My lips shall much rejoice in thee,
when I thy praises sound;
my soul, which thou redeemed hast,
in joy shall much abound.
24 My tongue thy justice shall proclaim,
continuing all day long;
for they confounded are, and shamed,
that seek to do me wrong. Scripture: Psalm 71:14-24 Languages: English Tune Title: ST LEONARD

Arthur Sullivan
1842 - 1900 Person Name: A. S. Sullivan Arranger of "[But I in thee with confidence]" in Bible Songs Arthur Seymour Sullivan (b Lambeth, London. England. 1842; d. Westminster, London, 1900) was born of an Italian mother and an Irish father who was an army bandmaster and a professor of music. Sullivan entered the Chapel Royal as a chorister in 1854. He was elected as the first Mendelssohn scholar in 1856, when he began his studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He also studied at the Leipzig Conservatory (1858-1861) and in 1866 was appointed professor of composition at the Royal Academy of Music. Early in his career Sullivan composed oratorios and music for some Shakespeare plays. However, he is best known for writing the music for lyrics by William S. Gilbert, which produced popular operettas such as H.M.S. Pinafore (1878), The Pirates of Penzance (1879), The Mikado (1884), and Yeomen of the Guard (1888). These operettas satirized the court and everyday life in Victorian times. Although he composed some anthems, in the area of church music Sullivan is best remembered for his hymn tunes, written between 1867 and 1874 and published in The Hymnary (1872) and Church Hymns (1874), both of which he edited. He contributed hymns to A Hymnal Chiefly from The Book of Praise (1867) and to the Presbyterian collection Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (1867). A complete collection of his hymns and arrangements was published posthumously as Hymn Tunes by Arthur Sullivan (1902). Sullivan steadfastly refused to grant permission to those who wished to make hymn tunes from the popular melodies in his operettas.

Henry Thomas Smart
1813 - 1879 Person Name: Henry Thomas Smart, 1813-1879 Composer of "ST LEONARD" in The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook Henry Smart (b. Marylebone, London, England, 1813; d. Hampstead, London, 1879), a capable composer of church music who wrote some very fine hymn tunes (REGENT SQUARE, 354, is the best-known).
Smart gave up a career in the legal profession for one in music. Although largely self taught, he became proficient in organ playing and composition, and he was a music teacher and critic. Organist in a number of London churches, including St. Luke's, Old Street (1844-1864), and St. Pancras (1864-1869), Smart was famous for his extemporizations and for his accompaniment of congregational singing. He became completely blind at the age of fifty-two, but his remarkable memory enabled him to continue playing the organ. Fascinated by organs as a youth, Smart designed organs for important places such as St. Andrew Hall in Glasgow and the Town Hall in Leeds. He composed an opera, oratorios, part-songs, some instrumental music, and many hymn tunes, as well as a large number of works for organ and choir. He edited the Choralebook (1858), the English Presbyterian Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (1867), and the Scottish Presbyterian Hymnal (1875). Some of his hymn tunes were first published in Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861).
