Author: G. de Mattos Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. Jesus, blessèd Lord and Savior, Bowed in death on Calv’ry’s tree, Darkest hour of bitter judgment, Borne to set Thy people free; Sweet our portion, sweet our portion, As we thus remember Thee. 2. From the highest heights of glory, To the cross of deepest shame, Thus accomplishing redemption, Jesus in His pity came; Precious Savior, precious Savior, We adore Thy matchless name. 3. From the darkness and the distance, From the crushing load of sin, Blessèd Savior, Thou hast freed us, By Thy blood hast made us clean; In Thy beauty, in Thy beauty, Now Thy ransomed ones are seen. 4. Thus assured of Thine acceptance We to God may now draw near; In the holiest may worship; Perfect love hath cast out fear; To the Father, to the Father, We in Christ are near and dear.

Henry Thomas Smart

1813 - 1879 Person Name: Henry T. Smart Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Composer of "REGENT SQUARE" in The Cyber Hymnal 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). Bert Polman
