No Form of Human Framing

Author: Henry H. van Dyke, 1852-1933 Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: No form of human framing, no bond of outward might Lyrics: 1. No form of human framing, no bond of outward might, Can bind Thy Church together, Lord, and all her flocks unite; But, Jesus, Thou hast told us how unity must be: Thou art with God the Father one, and we are one in Thee. 2. The mind that is in Jesus will guide us into truth, The humble, open, joyful mind of ever-learning youth; The heart that is in Jesus will lead us out of strife, The giving and forgiving heart that follows love in life. 3. Wherever men adore Thee, our souls with them would kneel; Wherever men implore Thy help, their trouble we would feel; And where men do Thy service, though knowing not Thy sign, Our hand is with them in good work, for they are also Thine. 4. Forgive us, Lord, the folly that quarrels with Thy friends, And draw us near to Thy heart, where every discord ends; Thou art the crown of manhood, and Thou of God the Son; O Master of our many lives, in Thee our life is one.

John Bacchus Dykes

1823 - 1876 Composer of "ALFORD" in The Cyber Hymnal As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern. Bert Polman
