Blessed Be the Fountain of Blood
Author: E. R. Latta Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E147 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: 1 Blessed be the Fountain of blood,
To a world of sinners revealed:
Blessed be the dear Son of God;
Only by His stripes we are healed.
Tho' I've wandered far from His fold,
Bringing to my heart pain and woe,
Wash me in the blood of the Lamb,
And I shall be whiter than snow.
2 Thorny was the crown that He wore,
And the cross His body o'ercame;
Grievous were the sorrows He bore,
But He suffered thus not in vain.
May I to that Fountain be led,
Made to cleanse my sins here below;
Wash me in the blood that He shed,
And I shall be whiter than snow.
3 Father, I have wandered from Thee,
Often has my heart gone astray:
Crimson do my sins seem to me--
Water cannot wash them away.
Jesus, to that Fountain of Thine,
Leaning on Thy promise I go:
Cleanse me by Thy washing divine,
And I shall be whiter than snow. Topics: Atonement-Justification Languages: English Tune Title: WHITER THAN SNOW

Han leder mig!
Author: Joshua H. Gilmore Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #S122 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D First Line: Han leder mig! Hvad himmelsk tröst Refrain First Line: Han leder mig! Han leder mig! Lyrics: 1 Han leder mig! hvad himmelsk tröst,
Den ljufva tanken ger mitt bröst;
Hvar helst jag är, hvad helst jag gör,
Mig Gud vid handen ständigt för.
Kör:
Han leder mig! Han ledermig!
Ja, med sin hand han leder mig!
Ack, att jag troget följde då
Den hand, som huldt mig leder så!
2 Än genom sorgens mörka dal,
Än genom glädjens blomstersal,
Vid stilla bäck, på öknens sand –
Städs håller mig hans säkra hand. [Kör]
3 Lär mig, o Gud, att sluta in
Min hand förutan knot i din,
Förnöjd, hur helst min lott jag får,
Då jag har Gud, som med mig går. [Kör]
4 Och när mitt vandringslopp är slut
Och med din nåd jag kämpat ut,
Jag räds ej ens för dödens svall,
Ty Gud och där mig leda skall. [Kör]

Min enda fromhet
Author: Lina Sandell Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #S121 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D First Line: Min enda fromhet inför Gud Lyrics: 1 Min enda fromhet inför Gud
Är syndernas förlåtelse,
Min enda trygghet vid hans bud
Är syndernas förlåtelse;
Hur otraonstöter sig därpå,
Det är ju doch i sanning så,
Hur otron stöter sig där på,
Det är ju dock i sanning så.
2 Det enda frälsningsord for mig
Är syndernas förlåtelse,
Det enda, som har lif med sig,
Är syndernas förlåtelse;
Förlåtelsen i Jesu blod,
Ack, hvad den dock är ljuf och god!
Förlåtelsen i Jesu blod,
Ack hvad den doch är ljuf och god!
3 Min enda sköld mot dom och lag
Är syndernas förlåtelse;
Min enda kraft, då jag är svag,
Är syndernas förlåtelse;
Mitt enda skydd i sorg och ve
Är syndernas förlåtelse.
Mitt enda skydd i sorg och ve
Är syndernas förlåtelse,
4 Min enda frid, o Herre kär,
Är syndernas förlåtelse,
Min enda glädje källa här
Är syndernas förlåtelse;
Hur ljufligt stärkas mod och håg
Utaf den källans friska våg!
Hur ljufligt stärkas mod och håg
Urtaf den källans friska våg!
5 Men får jag tro en sådan nåd,
Så fri och hel förlåtelse?
För mig ej finnes annat råd
Än fri och hel förlåtelse;
Får jag ej lefva blott på den,
Står intet hopp för mig igen,
Får jag ej lefva blott på den,
Står intet hopp för mig igen!
6 Så lå mig, Jesus, ständigt bo
I syndernas förlåtelse
Och hafva all min frid och ro
I syndernas förlåtelse;
Ty blott i denna fasta stad
Jag lefver lycklig, trygg och glad,
ty blott i denna fasta stad
Jag lefver lycklig, trygg och glad!

Rockefeller, Sr. for giving $100,000 of "tainted money" to the Congregational Church's Foreign Missions program. Throughout his ministry he emphasized applying the gospel to life in America. He wrote "O Master, let me walk with thee" in 1879.

C. Hubert H. Parry
1848 - 1918 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Composer of "JERUSALEM (PARRY)" in Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) Charles Hubert Hastings Parry KnBch/Brnt BMus United Kingdom 1848-1918. Born at Richmond Hill, Bournemouth, England, son of a wealthy director of the East India Company (also a painter, piano and horn musician, and art collector). His mother died of consumption shortly after his birth. His father remarried when he was three, and his stepmother favored her own children over her stepchildren, so he and two siblings were sometimes left out. He attended a preparatory school in Malvern, then at Twyford in Hampshire. He studied music from 1856-58 and became a pianist and composer. His musical interest was encouraged by the headmaster and by two organists. He gained an enduring love for Bach’s music from S S Wesley and took piano and harmony lessons from Edward Brind, who also took him to the ‘Three Choirs Festival in Hereford in 1861, where Mendelssohn, Mozart, Handel, and Beethoven works were performed. That left a great impression on Hubert. It also sparked the beginning of a lifelong association with the festival. That year, his brother was disgraced at Oxford for drug and alcohol use, and his sister, Lucy, died of consumption as well. Both events saddened Hubert. However, he began study at Eton College and distinguished himself at both sport and music. He also began having heart trouble, that would plague him the rest of his life. Eton was not known for its music program, and although some others had interest in music, there were no teachers there that could help Hubert much. He turned to George Elvey, organist of St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, and started studying with him in 1863. Hubert eventually wrote some anthems for the choir of St George’s Chapel, and eventually earned his music degree. While still at Eton, Hubert sat for the Oxford Bachelor of Music exam, the youngest person ever to have done so. His exam exercise, a cantata: “O Lord, Thou hast cast us out” astonished the Heather Professor of Music, Sir Frederick Ouseley, and was triumphantly performed and published in 1867. In 1867 he left Eton and went to Exeter College, Oxford. He did not study music there, his music concerns taking second place, but read law and modern history. However, he did go to Stuttgart, Germany, at the urging of Henry Hugh Pierson, to learn re-orchestration, leaving him much more critical of Mendelssohn’s works. When he left Exeter College, at his father’s behest, he felt obliged to try insurance work, as his father considered music only a pastime (too uncertain as a profession). He became an underwriter at Lloyd’s of London, 1870-77, but he found the work unappealing to his interests and inclinations. In 1872 he married Elizabeth Maude Herbert, and they had two daughters: Dorothea and Gwendolen. His in-laws agreed with his father that a conventional career was best, but it did not suit him. He began studying advanced piano with W S Bennett, but found it insufficient. He then took lessons with Edward Dannreuther, a wise and sympathetic teacher, who taught him of Wagner’s music. At the same time as Hubert’s compositions were coming to public notice (1875), he became a scholar of George Grove and soon an assistant editor for his new “Dictionary of Music and Musicians”. He contributed 123 articles to it. His own first work appeared in 1880. In 1883 he became professor of composition and musical history at the Royal College of Music (of which Grove was the head). In 1895 Parry succeeded Grove as head of the college, remaining in the post the remainder of his life. He also succeeded John Stainer as Heather Professor of Music at the University of Oxford (1900-1908). His academic duties were considerable and likely prevented him from composing as much as he might have. However, he was rated a very fine composer, nontheless, of orchestrations, overtures, symphonies, and other music. He only attempted one opera, deemed unsuccessful. Edward Elgar learned much of his craft from Parry’s articles in Grove’s Dictionary, and from those who studied under Parry at the Royal College, including Ralph Vaughn Williams, Gustav Holst, Frank Bridge, and John Ireland. Parry had the ability when teaching music to ascertain a student’s potential for creativity and direct it positively. In 1902 he was created a Baronet of Highnam Court in Gloucester. Parry was also an avid sailor and owned several yachts, becoming a member of the Royal Yacht Squadron in 1908, the only composer so honored. He was a Darwinian and a humanist. His daughter reiterated his liberal, non-conventional thinking. On medical advice he resigned his Oxford appointment in 1908 and produced some of his best known works. He and his wife were taken up with the ‘Suffrage Movement’ in 1916. He hated to see the WW1 ravage young potential musical talent from England and Germany. In 1918 he contracted Spanish flu during the global pandemic and died at Knightsscroft, Rustington, West Sussex. In 2015 they found 70 unpublished works of Parry’s hidden away in a family archive. It is thought some may never have been performed in public. The documents were sold at auction for a large sum. Other works he wrote include: “Studies of great composers” (1886), “The art of music” (1893), “The evolution of the art of music” (1896), “The music of the 17th century” (1902). His best known work is probably his 1909 study of “Johann Sebastian Bach”.

Louis Bourgeois
1510 - 1561 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Composer of "OLD HUNDREDTH" in Lutherförbundets Sångbok Louis Bourgeois (b. Paris, France, c. 1510; d. Paris, 1561). In both his early and later years Bourgeois wrote French songs to entertain the rich, but in the history of church music he is known especially for his contribution to the Genevan Psalter. Apparently moving to Geneva in 1541, the same year John Calvin returned to Geneva from Strasbourg, Bourgeois served as cantor and master of the choristers at both St. Pierre and St. Gervais, which is to say he was music director there under the pastoral leadership of Calvin. Bourgeois used the choristers to teach the new psalm tunes to the congregation.
The extent of Bourgeois's involvement in the Genevan Psalter is a matter of scholarly debate. Calvin had published several partial psalters, including one in Strasbourg in 1539 and another in Geneva in 1542, with melodies by unknown composers. In 1551 another French psalter appeared in Geneva, Eighty-three Psalms of David, with texts by Marot and de Beze, and with most of the melodies by Bourgeois, who supplied thirty four original tunes and thirty-six revisions of older tunes. This edition was republished repeatedly, and later Bourgeois's tunes were incorporated into the complete Genevan Psalter (1562). However, his revision of some older tunes was not uniformly appreciated by those who were familiar with the original versions; he was actually imprisoned overnight for some of his musical arrangements but freed after Calvin's intervention. In addition to his contribution to the 1551 Psalter, Bourgeois produced a four-part harmonization of fifty psalms, published in Lyons (1547, enlarged 1554), and wrote a textbook on singing and sight-reading, La Droit Chemin de Musique (1550). He left Geneva in 1552 and lived in Lyons and Paris for the remainder of his life.
