ASKERSWELL
All who love and serve your city
Author: Erik Routley (b. 1917) Hymnal: NCP1975 #1a (1975) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: l All who love and serve your city,
all who bear its daily stress,
all who cry for peace and justice,
all who curse and all who bless,
2 in your day of loss and sorrow,
in your day of helpless strife,
honour, peace and love retreating,
seek the Lord, who is your life.
3 In your day of wealth and plenty,
wasted work and wasted play,
call to mind the word of Jesus,
'Work ye yet while it is day'.
4 For all days are days of judgment,
and the Lord is waiting still,
drawing near to men who spurn him,
offering peace from Calvary's hill.
5 Risen Lord! shall yet the city
be the city of despair ?
Come today, our Judge, our Glory;
be its name, 'The Lord is there!' Topics: City Languages: English Tune Title: BIRABUS

'Am I my brother's keeper?'
Author: John Ferguson (b. 1921) Hymnal: NCP1975 #2 (1975) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 'Am I my brother's keeper?'—
the muttered cry was drowned
by Abel's life-blood shouting
in silence from the ground.
For no man is an island
divided from the main,
the bell which tolled for Abel
tolled equally for Cain.
2 The ruler called for water
and thought his hands were clean.
Christ counted less than order,
the man than the machine.
The crowd cried, 'Crucify him!',
their malice wouldn't budge,
so Pilate called for water,
and history's his judge.
3 As long as people hunger,
as long as people thirst,
and ignorance and illness
and warfare do their worst,
as long as there's injustice
in any of God's lands,
I am my brother's keeper,
I dare not wash my hands. Topics: World and Society Justice and Peace Languages: English Tune Title: ABEL
'Am I my brother's keeper?'
Fred Pratt Green
1903 - 2000 Person Name: F. Pratt Green (b . 1903) Hymnal Number: 106 Author of "When, in man's music, God is glorified" in New Church Praise The name of the Rev. F. Pratt Green is one of the best-known of the contemporary school of hymnwriters in the British Isles. His name and writings appear in practically every new hymnal and "hymn supplement" wherever English is spoken and sung. And now they are appearing in American hymnals, poetry magazines, and anthologies.
Mr. Green was born in Liverpool, England, in 1903. Ordained in the British Methodist ministry, he has been pastor and district superintendent in Brighton and York, and now served in Norwich. There he continued to write new hymns "that fill the gap between the hymns of the first part of this century and the 'far-out' compositions that have crowded into some churches in the last decade or more."

William Henry Monk
1823 - 1889 Person Name: W. H. Monk (1823-89) Hymnal Number: 96 Composer of "ST ETHELWALD" in New Church Praise 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).

Johann Sebastian Bach
1685 - 1750 Person Name: Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-I750) Hymnal Number: 35 Arranger of "ACH GOTT UND HERR" in New Church Praise Johann Sebastian Bach was born at Eisenach into a musical family and in a town steeped in Reformation history, he received early musical training from his father and older brother, and elementary education in the classical school Luther had earlier attended.
Throughout his life he made extraordinary efforts to learn from other musicians. At 15 he walked to Lüneburg to work as a chorister and study at the convent school of St. Michael. From there he walked 30 miles to Hamburg to hear Johann Reinken, and 60 miles to Celle to become familiar with French composition and performance traditions. Once he obtained a month's leave from his job to hear Buxtehude, but stayed nearly four months. He arranged compositions from Vivaldi and other Italian masters. His own compositions spanned almost every musical form then known (Opera was the notable exception).
In his own time, Bach was highly regarded as organist and teacher, his compositions being circulated as models of contrapuntal technique. Four of his children achieved careers as composers; Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, and Chopin are only a few of the best known of the musicians that confessed a major debt to Bach's work in their own musical development. Mendelssohn began re-introducing Bach's music into the concert repertoire, where it has come to attract admiration and even veneration for its own sake.
After 20 years of successful work in several posts, Bach became cantor of the Thomas-schule in Leipzig, and remained there for the remaining 27 years of his life, concentrating on church music for the Lutheran service: over 200 cantatas, four passion settings, a Mass, and hundreds of chorale settings, harmonizations, preludes, and arrangements. He edited the tunes for Schemelli's Musicalisches Gesangbuch, contributing 16 original tunes. His choral harmonizations remain a staple for studies of composition and harmony. Additional melodies from his works have been adapted as hymn tunes.
