Author: A. Cleveland Coxe Hymnal: Reformed Press Hymnal #51 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Oh! where are kings and empires now,
Of old that went and came?
But Lord, Thy Church is praying yet,
A thousand years the same.
2 We mark her goodly battlements,
And her foundations strong;
We hear within the solemn voice,
Of her unending song.
3 For not like kingdoms of the world
The Holy Church, O God!
Tho' earthquake shocks are threat'ning her,
And tempests are abroad;
4 Unshaken as eternal hills,
Immovable she stands,
A mountain that shall fill the earth,
A house not made with hands.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANNE

Thomas Tallis
1505 - 1585 Person Name: Thomas Tallis, c. 1505 - 85 Composer of "TALLIS' ORDINAL" in Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America Thomas Tallis (b. Leicestershire [?], England, c. 1505; d. Greenwich, Kent, England 1585) was one of the few Tudor musicians who served during the reigns of Henry VIII: Edward VI, Mary, and Elizabeth I and managed to remain in the good favor of both Catholic and Protestant monarchs. He was court organist and composer from 1543 until his death, composing music for Roman Catholic masses and Anglican liturgies (depending on the monarch). With William Byrd, Tallis also enjoyed a long-term monopoly on music printing. Prior to his court connections Tallis had served at Waltham Abbey and Canterbury Cathedral. He composed mostly church music, including Latin motets, English anthems, settings of the liturgy, magnificats, and two sets of lamentations. His most extensive contrapuntal work was the choral composition, "Spem in alium," a work in forty parts for eight five-voice choirs. He also provided nine modal psalm tunes for Matthew Parker's Psalter (c. 1561).
