Ye Distant Lands, And Nations Near
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15816 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Ye distant lands, and nations near,
Behold your Savior God;
The joyful news attentive hear,
And spread it all abroad.
2 His opening lips and outstretched arms
Invite you near His seat,
Whilst on His face unnumbered charms
In full perfection meet.
3 Let Israel all adore their Lord,
His love their thoughts employ;
The promises in Scripture stored
Shall yield abundant joy.
4 “In righteousness have I declared,
The Word shall not return,
I will be honored, loved and feared,
Through Mine anointed Son.
5 "Then look to me, and be ye saved,
Through earth’s remotest bound;
By sins and idols now enslaved,
In Me your help is found." Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FULBERT
Ye Distant Lands, And Nations Near
Eternal Father, Who Can Tell?
Author: Robert Dawson, 1836-1906 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15336 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Eternal Father! who can tell Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father! who can tell
The years of Thy right hand?
Like sunbeams bright, but numberless,
Or as the ocean’s sand.
2 Thine ageless age no limit knows,
No dawn began Thy day,
Nor evening shade shall ever fall
Upon Thy glorious way.
3 All time is but a fleeting wave
Upon Thy calm, deep sea,
A fading leaf that feebly falls
From life’s eternal tree.
4 Yet unto Thee, our fleeting years,
Our fading days, are known,
And every hour its message bears
Up to th’eternal throne.
5 Old year, farewell! Thou’rt gone to God,
Gone to record our life,
Its poor success, its wasted hours,
Its oft unworthy strife.
6 New year, all hail! Thou’rt come from God,
Blest be thy dawning bright!
Blest be thy swiftly fleeting hours!
And blest thy evening light!
7 Into the hand of Him who died,
Who evermore doth live,
This strange and solemn New Year’s path
In trustful prayer we give.
8 Enough for us to hear His voice,
To feel His guiding hand,
To know each step is bringing us
Nearer the Better Land. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FULBERT
Eternal Father, Who Can Tell?
Ye Choirs of New Jerusalem
Author: Fulbert of Chartres, 952-1028; Robert Campbell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7780 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Ye choirs of new Jerusalem,
Your sweetest notes employ,
The Paschal victory to hymn
In strains of holy joy.
2. For Judah’s Lion bursts His chains,
Crushing the serpent’s head;
And cries aloud through death’s domains
To wake the imprisoned dead.
3. From hell’s devouring jaws the prey
Alone our Leader bore;
His ransomed hosts pursue their way
Where Jesus goes before.
4. Triumphant in His glory now
To Him all power is given;
To Him in one communion bow
All saints in earth and heaven.
5. While we, His soldiers, praise our King,
His mercy we implore,
Within His palace bright to bring
And keep us evermore.
6. All glory to the Father be,
All glory to the Son,
All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee,
While endless ages run.
7. John M. Neale’s translation:
8. Ye choirs of new Jerusalem,
To sweet new strains attune your theme;
The while we keep, from care released,
With sober joy our Paschal feast:
9. When Christ, unconquer’d Lion, first
The dragon’s chains by rising burst:
And while with living voice He cries,
The dead of other ages rise.
10. Engorged in former years, their prey
Must death and hell restore today:
And many a captive soul, set free,
With Jesus leaves captivity.
11. Right gloriously He triumphs now,
Worthy to whom should all things bow;
And joining heaven and earth again,
Links in one commonweal the twain.
12. And we, as these His deeds we sing,
His suppliant soldiers, pray our King,
That in His palace, bright and vast,
We may keep watch and ward at last.
13. Long as unending ages run,
To God the Father, laud be done:
To God the son, our equal praise,
And God the Holy Ghost, we raise. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FULBERT
Ye Choirs of New Jerusalem
Henry J. Gauntlett
1805 - 1876 Person Name: H. J. Gauntlett Composer of "ST. FULBERT, or ST. LEOFRED" in The Westminster Abbey Hymn-Book Henry J. Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, July 9, 1805; d. London, England, February 21, 1876) When he was nine years old, Henry John Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, England, 1805; d. Kensington, London, England, 1876) became organist at his father's church in Olney, Buckinghamshire. At his father's insistence he studied law, practicing it until 1844, after which he chose to devote the rest of his life to music. He was an organist in various churches in the London area and became an important figure in the history of British pipe organs. A designer of organs for William Hill's company, Gauntlett extended the organ pedal range and in 1851 took out a patent on electric action for organs. Felix Mendelssohn chose him to play the organ part at the first performance of Elijah in Birmingham, England, in 1846. Gauntlett is said to have composed some ten thousand hymn tunes, most of which have been forgotten. Also a supporter of the use of plainchant in the church, Gauntlett published the Gregorian Hymnal of Matins and Evensong (1844).

Robert Campbell
1814 - 1868 Translator of "Ye choirs of new Jerusalem" in The Book of Common Praise Robert Campbell was an advocate residing in Edinburgh. He is not much known as an author, but some of his hymns have been adopted in several hymnals. He was Roman Catholic. His death occurred in 1868.
--Annotations of the Hymnal, Charles Hutchins, M.A. 1872.
====================
Campbell, Robert. Advocate, of Sherrington, Scotland, was born at Trochmig, Ayrshire, Dec. 19, 1814. When quite a boy he attended the University of Glasgow. Though showing from his earliest years a strong predilection for Theological studies, eventually he fixed upon the Scottish law as a profession. To this end he entered the Law Classes of the University of Edinburgh, and in due course entered upon the duties of an advocate. Originally a Presbyterian, at an early age he joined the Episcopal Church of Scotland. He became a zealous and devoted Churchman, directing his special attention to the education of the children of the poor. His classical attainments were good, and his general reading extensive. In 1848 he began a series of translations of Latin hymns. These he submitted to Dr. Neale, Dr. Mills of Ely, and other competent judges. In 1850, a selection therefrom, together with a few of his original hymns, and a limited number from other writers, was published as Hymns and Anthems for Use in the Holy Services of the Church within the United Diocese of St. Andrews, Dunkeld, and Dunblane. Edinburgh, R. Lendrum & Co.
This collection, known as the St. Andrews Hymnal, received the special sanction of Bishop Torry, and was used throughout the Diocese for some years. Two years after its publication he joined the Roman Catholic Church. During the next sixteen years he devoted much time to the young and poor. He died at Edinburgh, Dec. 29, 1868.
From his collection of 1850, four translations were given in Hymns Ancient & Modern, 1861, "At the Lamb's high feast we sing;" “Come, pure hearts, in sweetest measures;" "Ye Choirs of New Jerusalem;" " Ye servants of a martyr'd God" (altered). Attention was thereby directed to his translations. They are smooth, musical, and well sustained. A large number, not included in his 1850 collection, were left by him in manuscript. From these Mr. O.Shipley has printed several in his Annus Sanctus, 1884. (C. MSS.)

Fulbert of Chartres
960 - 1028 Person Name: St. Fulbert of Chartres, d. 1028 Author of "Ye choirs of new Jerusalem" in The Book of Common Praise Fulbert of Chartres, Saint and Bishop (St. Fulbertus Carnotensis), flourished in the 11th century, having been consecrated Bishop of Chartres (probably) in 1007, and dying on April 10th, 1028. His collected works were published at Paris in 1608, but with the exception of one hymn, "Chorus novae Hierusalem" (q.v.), are very little known. That hymn in its original Latin form was included in the Sarum Breviary, and, in one English form or another, finds a place in most of our English Hymnals as "Ye choirs of New Jerusalem." [Rev. Digby S. Wrangham, M.A.]
