Author: A. B. Simpson Appears in 55 hymnals First Line: Not I, but Christ, be honored, loved, exalted Lyrics: 1.

Bethlehem

Author: Rev. Phillips Brooks Appears in 844 hymnals First Line: O little town of Bethlehem Lyrics: 1. O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light! The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight! 2. For Christ is born of Mary; And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wond'ring love. O morning stars! together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth! 3. How silently, how silently The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of his heav'n. No ear may hear his coming; But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive him still, The dear Christ enters in. 4. O holy Child of Bethlehem Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us today! We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell, Oh, come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel! Used With Tune: [O little town of Bethlehem]

Arthur Sullivan

1842 - 1900 Person Name: A. S. Sullivan Hymnal Number: 59 Composer of "[Hush'd was the evening hymn]" in Carols of Hope Arthur Seymour Sullivan (b Lambeth, London. England. 1842; d. Westminster, London, 1900) was born of an Italian mother and an Irish father who was an army bandmaster and a professor of music. Sullivan entered the Chapel Royal as a chorister in 1854. He was elected as the first Mendelssohn scholar in 1856, when he began his studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He also studied at the Leipzig Conservatory (1858-1861) and in 1866 was appointed professor of composition at the Royal Academy of Music. Early in his career Sullivan composed oratorios and music for some Shakespeare plays. However, he is best known for writing the music for lyrics by William S. Gilbert, which produced popular operettas such as H.M.S. Pinafore (1878), The Pirates of Penzance (1879), The Mikado (1884), and Yeomen of the Guard (1888). These operettas satirized the court and everyday life in Victorian times. Although he composed some anthems, in the area of church music Sullivan is best remembered for his hymn tunes, written between 1867 and 1874 and published in The Hymnary (1872) and Church Hymns (1874), both of which he edited. He contributed hymns to A Hymnal Chiefly from The Book of Praise (1867) and to the Presbyterian collection Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (1867). A complete collection of his hymns and arrangements was published posthumously as Hymn Tunes by Arthur Sullivan (1902). Sullivan steadfastly refused to grant permission to those who wished to make hymn tunes from the popular melodies in his operettas. Bert Polman

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Hymnal Number: 65 Composer of "[I think, when I read that sweet story of old]" in Carols of Hope In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
