Henry R. Bishop
1786 - 1855 Person Name: Bishop Composer of "[God calling yet! shall I not hear?]" in Rodeheaver Collection for Male Voices Bishop, Henry Rowley, was born at London, Nov. 18, 1786, and died at London, April 30, 1855. See a full notice in the Dictionary of Nat. Biog., v., 91. From 1840 he was occasional and from 1843 to 1848 sole conductor of the Antient Concerts. Of his Twelve Corales...as sung at the Concerts of Ancient Music, for which (with Words expressly written to them) they were adapted and arranged by Sir Henry R. Bishop, 1844 (B. M. copy is H. 878), some are fairly literal translations from the German, others have no connection with their nominal originals. Three were noted in this Dictionary, but their source not having been traced in 1892, we now subjoin them:—
1. Behold, how glorious is yon sky, p. 127, ii. This is from "Wie herrlich ist die neue Welt" in C. H. Graun's oratorio Der Tod Jesu, 1756 (B. M. copy, 11. 1805, catalogued as 1766), the words being by Karl Wilhelm Ramler, b. Feb. 25, 1725, at Colberg, in Pomerania; 1748, Professor of Literature at the Cadet School in Berlin; d. at Berlin, April 11, 1798.
2. God is our Refuge in distress, Our Shield, p. 325, i.
3. O let us praise the Lord, With hearts of true devotion, p. 963, ii., No. 4. The Winchester Hymn Book, 1857, alters stanza i., the original line 1. 3, 4 being:—
"Whose spirit roams abroad,
To calm life's troubled ocean."
Another fairly close version is,"Wake, O wake! a voice is crying," from "Wachet auf," p. 805, ii. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]

Edwards A. Park
1808 - 1900 Adapter of "God Calling Yet! Shall I Not Hear?" in Hymns of Faith and Life Park, Edwards A., D.D., an American Congregational Minister, born at Providence, Rhode Island, Dec. 29, 1808, was one of the editors of the Sabbath Hymn Book, published at Andover in 1858, in which the hymn, "Unto the Lord, unto the Lord" (Public Worship), sometimes ascribed to him as in Spurgeon's Our Own Hymn Book, 1866, was published anonymously as No. 37. By all the American hymnological authorities it is still regarded as "Anon." This is strong evidence against Dr. Park's authorship.
