Author: John Ellerton (1826-1893) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #220 (2005) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Scripture: Psalm 70:4 Lyrics: 1 The day you gave us, Lord, has ended; the darkness falls at your behest; to you our morning hymns ascended, your praise shall sanctify our rest. 2 We thank you that your Church unsleeping, while earth rolls onwards into light, through all the world her watch is keeping, nor rests from worship day or night. 3 As o'er each continent and island the dawn leads on another day, the voice of prayer is never silent, nor dies the song of praise away. 4 The sun that bids us rest is waking your children 'neath the western sky, and hour by hour fresh lips are making your wondrous deeds resound on high. 5 So be it, Lord! your throne shall never, like earths proud empires, pass away; your kingdom stands and grows for ever, till all your creatures own your sway.

Jacques Berthier

1923 - 1994 Scripture: Psalm 70:4 Alterer of "Wait for the Lord" in Worship and Song Jacques Berthier (b. Auxerre, Burgundy, June 27, 1923; d. June 27, 1994) A son of musical parents, Berthier studied music at the Ecole Cesar Franck in Paris. From 1961 until his death he served as organist at St. Ignace Church, Paris. Although his published works include numerous compositions for organ, voice, and instruments, Berthier is best known as the composer of service music for the Taizé community near Cluny, Burgundy. Influenced by the French liturgist and church musician Joseph Gelineau, Berthier began writing songs for equal voices in 1955 for the services of the then nascent community of twenty brothers at Taizé. As the Taizé community grew, Berthier continued to compose most of the mini-hymns, canons, and various associated instrumental arrangements, which are now universally known as the Taizé repertoire. In the past two decades this repertoire has become widely used in North American church music in both Roman Catholic and Protestant traditions. Bert Polman
