When Day's Shadows Lengthen
Author: Frederick G. Lee Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13054 Meter: 11.11.11 First Line: When day’s shadows lengthen, Jesus, be Thou near Lyrics: 1 When day’s shadows lengthen, Jesus, be Thou near;
Pardon, comfort, strengthen, chase away my fear;
Love and hope be deepened, faith more strong and clear.
2 When the night grows darkest, and the stars are pale,
When the foemen gather in death’s misty vale,
Be Thou sword and buckler, be Thou shield and mail.
3 So no fears shall chill me, on that unknown shore,
For in death He conquered, and can die no more;
His hand guards and guides me, to the heav’nly door.
4 Blessed warfare over, endless rest alone;
Tears no more, nor sorrow, neither sigh nor moan,
But a song of triumph round about the throne. Languages: English Tune Title: ALBERMARLE

Joseph Barnby
1838 - 1896 Composer of "[When day's shadows lengthen]" in Hymn Tunes Joseph Barnby (b. York, England, 1838; d. London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873).
