Thou art the Christ, O Lord

Author: William Walsham How (1823-1867) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #321 (2013) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Hymnal Title: Ancient and Modern Lyrics: 1 Thou art the Christ, O Lord, the Son of God most high: for ever be adored that name in earth and sky, in which, though mortal strength may fail, the saints of God at last prevail. 2 O surely he was blest with blessedness unpriced, who, taught of God, confessed the Godhead in the Christ; for of thy church, Lord, thou didst own thy saint a true foundation-stone. 3 Thrice fallen, thrice restored, the bitter lesson learnt, that heart for thee, O Lord, with triple ardour burnt. The cross he took he laid not down until he grasped the martyr's crown. 4 O bright triumphant faith, O courage void of fears, O love most strong in death, O penitential tears! By these, Lord, keep us lest we fall, and make us go where thou shalt call.

Gloucester, England, 1876) was an English organist and composer. The grandson of Charles Wesley, he was born in London, and sang in the choir of the Chapel Royal as a boy. He learned composition and organ from his father, Samuel, completed a doctorate in music at Oxford, and composed for piano, organ, and choir. He was organist at Hereford Cathedral (1832-1835), Exeter Cathedral (1835-1842), Leeds Parish Church (1842­-1849), Winchester Cathedral (1849-1865), and Gloucester Cathedral (1865-1876).

He was the musical editor of Charles Kemble's A Selection of Psalms and Hymns (1864) and of the Wellburn Appendix of Original Hymns and Tunes (1875) but is best known as the compiler of The European Psalmist (1872), in which some 130 of the 733 hymn tunes were written by him.
