ST. THOMAS
God the Lord is King; before Him
Author: George Rawson, 1807-1889 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #38 (1917) Lyrics: 1. God the Lord is King; before Him,
Earth, with all thy nations, wait:
Where the cherubim adore Him,
Sitteth He in royal state;
He is holy,
Blessed, only Potentate!
2. God the Lord is King of glory,
Zion, tell the world His fame;
Ancient Israel, the story
Of His faithfulness proclaim;
He is holy,
Holy is His awful name.
3. In old times when dangers darkened,
When, invoked by priest and seer,
To His people's cry He hearkened,
Answered them in all their fear;
He is holy,
As they called, they found Him near.
4. Laws divine to them were spoken
From the pillar of the cloud;
Sacred precepts, quickly broken:
Fiercely then His vengeance flowed.
He is holy,
To the dust their hearts were bowed.
5. But their Father God forgave them,
When they sought His face once more,
Ever ready was to save them,
Tenderly did He restore;
He is holy,
We, too, will His grace implore.
6. God in Christ is all-forgiving,
Waits His promise to fulfil,
Come, exalt Him, all the living.
Come, ascend His holy hill;
He is holy,

John Francis Wade
1711 - 1786 Person Name: John Francis Wade, 1711-1786 Composer of "ST. THOMAS (Holywood)" in The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 John Francis Wade (b. England, c. 1711; d. Douay, France, 1786) is now generally recognized as both author and composer of the hymn "Adeste fideles," originally written in Latin in four stanzas. The earliest manuscript signed by Wade is dated about 1743. By the early nineteenth century, however, four additional stanzas had been added by other writers. A Roman Catholic, Wade apparently moved to France because of discrimination against Roman Catholics in eighteenth-century England—especially so after the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745. He taught music at an English college in Douay and hand copied and sold chant music for use in the chapels of wealthy families. Wade's copied manuscripts were published as Cantus Diversi pro Dominicis et Festis per annum (1751).

Died: March 25, 1889, Clifton, England.

Pseudonym: A Leeds Layman.
Rawson, George, was born June 5, 1807, at Leeds, in which town he practised for many years as a solicitor. In 1853 he assisted the Congregational ministers of Leeds in the compilation of Psalms, Hymns, and Passages of Scripture for Christian Worship, a volume commonly known as the Leeds Hymn-book. Mr. Rawson was a member of the Congregational body. In 1858 he also assisted Rev. Dr. Green and other Baptist ministers in the preparation of Psalms and Hymns for the use of the Baptist Denomination. A number of Mr. Rawson's own compositions first appeared in this and in the Leeds Hymn-book In 1876 he published his Hymns, Verses and Chants (Hodder and Stoughton, London), including his previously published hymns, and containing (exclusive of chants) 80 original pieces. In 1885 most of these, with several additional hymns, were published by the R. T. S. under the title Songs of Spiritual Thought. Mr. Rawson died March 25, 1889.
His hymns are distinguished by refinement of thought, and delicacy and propriety of language; and if they do not attain the first rank among the songs of the Christian Church, many are of great excellence. The most widely known are, "By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored;" "Come to our poor nature's night;" "Father in high heaven dwelling;" "In the dark and cloudy day;" and "Reaper, behold the fields are white." In the Leeds Hymn-book, 1853, and the Baptist Psalms & Hymns, 1858, there are also several recasts of and additions to the hymns of other writers.
