Hush, My Dear

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 55 hymnals Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber Lyrics: 1. Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber, Holy angels guard thy bed, Heav’nly blessings without number, Gently falling on thy head. How much better thou’rt attended, Than the Son of God could be, When from Heaven He descended, And became a child like thee! 2. Soft and easy is thy cradle, Coarse and hard thy Savior lay: When His birthplace was a stable, And His softest bed was hay. Oh, to tell the wondrous story, How His foes abused their King; How they killed the Lord of glory, Makes me angry while I sing. 3. Hush, my child, I did not chide thee, Though my song may seem so hard; ’Tis thy mother sits beside thee, And her arms shall be thy guard. May’st thou learn to know and fear Him, Love and serve Him all thy days; Then to dwell forever near Him, Tell His love and sing His praise. Used With Tune: GREENVILLE Text Sources: Divine and Moral Songs, 1715

Harold W. Friedell

1905 - 1958 Hymnal Title: Hymns for Children and Grownups to Use Together Composer of "WELLFLEET" in Hymns for Children and Grownups to Use Together Harold Friedell (May 11, 1905, Jamaica, Queens, NY- February 17, 1958, Hasting-On-Hudson, NY) was an American organist, choirmaster, teacher, and composer. At an early age, he served as organist at First Methodist Episcopal Church (Jamaica, Queens) and studied organ with Clement Gale and David McK. Williams. He later served as organist at Calvary Church (New York), organist and choirmaster at Saint John’s Church (Jersey City, N.J.), organist and choirmaster at Calvary Church (New York), and finally organist and master of the choir at Saint Bartholomew’s Church (New York). Friedell also taught on the faculty of the Union Theological Seminary School of Sacred Music (New York). As a composer, Friedell composed works for organ, orchestra, and choir, as well as hymn tunes, descants, and music for solo voice. Friedell composed the choral anthem "Draw us in the Spirit's Tether" in 1949, from which the hymn tune "Union Seminary" was taken." Jimmy Thompson

Asahel Nettleton

1783 - 1844 Hymnal Title: Primary Songs No. 2 Composer of "[Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber]" in Primary Songs No. 2 Nettleton, Asahel, D.D., a well-known Connecticut evangelist, was born at North Killingworth, Connecticut, April 21, 1783, and educated at Yale College, graduating in 1809. In 1811 he was licenced to preach, receiving ordination in 1817. He never settled as a pastor with any congregation, but preached in Western Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York; in Virginia, 1827-28; and also in Great Britain in 1831. He died in 1843. His Memoirs, Sermons and Remains were published in 1844. Dr. Hatfield ascribes to him a hymn:— "Come, Holy Ghost, my soul inspire— This one great gift impart;" apparently on no other ground than that it appeared anonymously (as did many others) in his Village Hymns, in 1824, and has been traced no further. Nettleton's hymnological work centred in the compiling of his Village Hymns, from which more hymns of the older American writers have passed into English collections than from any other source. He knew and could appreciate a good hymn, but it is doubtful if he ever did or ever could have written one. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
