God of the Glorious Sunshine

Author: Thomas Paxton Hymnal: Hymns for Youth #41 (1966) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1. God of the glorious sunshine, God of refreshing rain, Whose voice bids earth awaken And clothe itself again With life of richest beauty In plant, in flower, in tree, Thou God of light and splendor, We rise and worship thee. 2. God of the hill and mountain, Of valley and of dale, Whose finger paints the rainbows, Thy beauties never fail To raise our souls in wonder And turn our thoughts to thee, Thou God of living nature, We stand and worship thee. 3. God of the busy daytime, God of the quiet night, Whose peace pervades the darkness And greets us with the light, Safe with thy presence near us, Wherever we may be, Thou God, our great protector, We love and worship thee. 4. God of the whole creation, God of all life below, We seek thy nearer presence, Thy grander life to know. When we thy heightened splendor, Thy greater glories see, Thou God of all creation, We still shall worship thee. Languages: English Tune Title: ES FLOG EIN KLEINS WALDVOGLEIN

William F. Sherwin

1826 - 1888 Person Name: William Fiske Sherwin, 1826-1888 Composer of "GOD'S LOVE" 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. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ================== 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. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)
