The Father's Sole Begotten Son

Author: Anonymous; Thomas B. Pollock Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1644 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. The Father’s sole begotten Son Was born, the virgin’s Child, on earth; His cross for us adoption won, The life and grace of second birth. 2. Forth from the height of Heav’n He came, In form of man with man abode; Redeemed His world from death and shame, The joys of endless life bestowed. 3. Redeemer, come with power benign, Dwell in the souls that look for Thee; O let Thy light within us shine That we may Thy salvation see. 4. Abide with us, O Lord, we pray, Dispel the gloom of doubt and woe; Wash every stain of guilt away, Thy tender healing grace bestow. 5. Lord, Thou hast come, and well we know That Thou wilt likewise come again; Thy kingdom shield from every foe, Thy honor and Thy rule maintain. 6. Eternal glory, Lord, to Thee, Whom, now revealed, our hearts adore; To God the Father glory be, And Holy Spirit evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: TRINITY COLLEGE

Author of "The Father's Sole Begotten Son" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

John Bacchus Dykes

1823 - 1876 Person Name: John Bacchus Dykes, 1823-1876 Composer of "TRINITY COLLEGE" in The Cyber Hymnal As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern. Bert Polman

Thomas Benson Pollock

1836 - 1896 Person Name: Thomas B. Pollock Translator (from Latin) of "The Father's Sole Begotten Son" in The Cyber Hymnal Pollock, Thomas Benson, M.A., was born in 1836, and graduated at Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1859, M.A. 1863, where he also gained the Vice-Chancellor's Prize for English Verse in 1855. Taking Holy Orders in 1861, he was Curate of St. Luke's, Leek, Staffordshire; St. Thomas's, Stamford Hill, London; and St. Alban's, Birmingham. Mr. Pollock is a most successful writer of metrical Litanies. His Metrical Litanies for Special Services and General Use, Mowbray, Oxford, 1870, and other compositions of the same kind contributed subsequently to various collections, have greatly enriched modern hymnbooks. To the 1889 Supplemental Hymns to Hymns Ancient & Modern, Mr. Pollock contributed two hymns, “We are soldiers of Christ, Who is mighty to save" (Soldiers of Christ), and "We have not known Thee as we ought" (Seeking God), but they are by no means equal to his Litanies in beauty and finish. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) =================== Pollock, T.
