Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above
Author: Johann Jakob Schütz; Frances Elizabeth Cox Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 194 hymnals Hymnal Title: Calvin Hymnary Project Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God who reigns above,
the God of all creation,
the God of power, the God of love,
the God of our salvation.
With healing balm my soul is filled
and every faithless murmur stilled:
To God all praise and glory.
2 The Lord is never far away,
but through all grief distressing,
an ever present help and stay,
our peace and joy and blessing.
As with a mother's tender hand,
God gently leads the chosen band:
To God all praise and glory.
3 Thus all my toilsome way along,
I sing aloud thy praises,
that earth may hear the grateful song
my voice unwearied raises.
Be joyful in the Lord, my heart,
both soul and body bear your part:
To God all praise and glory.
4 Let all who name Christ's holy name
give God all praise and glory;
let all who own his power proclaim
aloud the wondrous story!
Cast each false idol from its throne,
for Christ is Lord, and Christ alone:
To God all praise and glory.

William Henry Monk
1823 - 1889 Person Name: William Henry Monk (1823-1889) Hymnal Title: Ancient and Modern Harmonizer of "LUTHER'S HYMN" in Ancient and Modern William H. Monk (b. Brompton, London, England, 1823; d. London, 1889) is best known for his music editing of Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861, 1868; 1875, and 1889 editions). He also adapted music from plainsong and added accompaniments for Introits for Use Throughout the Year, a book issued with that famous hymnal. Beginning in his teenage years, Monk held a number of musical positions. He became choirmaster at King's College in London in 1847 and was organist and choirmaster at St. Matthias, Stoke Newington, from 1852 to 1889, where he was influenced by the Oxford Movement. At St. Matthias, Monk also began daily choral services with the choir leading the congregation in music chosen according to the church year, including psalms chanted to plainsong. He composed over fifty hymn tunes and edited The Scottish Hymnal (1872 edition) and Wordsworth's Hymns for the Holy Year (1862) as well as the periodical Parish Choir (1840-1851).

Matthias Greiter
1495 - 1550 Person Name: M. Greiter Hymnal Title: Christian Hymns Composer of "O HOLY GHOST, THOU HEAVENLY GIFT" in Christian Hymns Greitter, Matthäus, was a monk and chorister of Strassburg Cathedral, but in 1524 espoused the cause of the Reformation. In 1528 he was appointed assistant pastor of St. Martin's Church, and afterwards at St. Stephen's. When the Interim [Agricola] was forced on Strassburg, he was the only one of the Lutheran pastors that sought to further it, a course which he afterwards deeply regretted. His death is dated by Wetzel, i. 349, as Dec. 20, 1550; by the Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie, ix. 636, as Nov. 20, 1550; while Koch, ii. 104, says he died of the pestilence in 1552.
Greitter was a distinguished musician, and with his friend Dachstein (q.v.) edited the Strassburg Kirchen ampt, 1524-5. Four psalm tunes by Greitter, and one by Dachstein were inserted by Calvin in his first Hymnbook published at Strassburg, 1539. All these were transferred to the first edition of the French-Genevan Psalter in 1542, and two of them, both by Greitter (the tunes to psalms 36 and 91), were retained in the final edition of 1562. Of his seven Psalm versions 4 have been translated into English :—
i. Ach Gott, wie lang vergissest mein. Ps. xiii. 1524. Wackernagel, iii. p. 89, in 4 st. Translated as, "O Lord, how lang forever wil thow foirget," in the Gude and Godly Ballates, ed. 1568, folio 46 (1868, p. 78).
ii. Da Israel aus Egypten zog. Ps. cxiv. In Die Zwen Psalmen: In exitu Israel, &c, Strassburg, 1527, thence in Wackernagel, iii. p. 93, in 2 stanzas. Translated as, "Quhen, fra Egypt departit Israeli," In the Gude & Godly Ballates, ed. 1568, folio 56 (1868, p. 95).
iii. Nicht uns, nicht uns, o ewiger Herr. Ps. cxv, 1527, as ii., and Wackernagel, iii. p. 93, in 4 st. Translated as, “Not unto us, not unto us, O Lord," in the G. & G. Ballates, ed. 1568, folio 56 (1868, p. 95).
iv. 0 Herre Gott, begnade mich. Ps. li. 1525. Wackernagel, iii. p. 90, in 5 st. Translated as, "O Lorde God, have mercy on me," by Bishop Coverdale, 1539 (Remains, 1846, p. 574). [Rev.James Mearns, M.A.]
