Thus spoke the Saviour of the world
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thus spoke the Saviour of the world,
and rais'd his eyes to heav’n:
To thee, O Father! Lord of all,
eternal praise be given.
2 Thou to the pure and lowly heart
hast heav’nly truth reveal'd;
which from the self-conceited mind
thy wisdom hath conceal'd.
3 Ev’n so! thou, Father, hast ordain'd
thy high decree to stand;
nor men nor angels may presume
the reason to demand.
4 Thou only know’st the Son: from thee
my kingdom I receive;
and none the Father know but they
who in the Son believe.
5 Come then to me, all ye who groan,
with guilt and fears opprest;
resign to me the willing heart,
and I will give you rest.
6 Take up my yoke, and learn of me
the meek and lowly mind;
and thus your weary troubled souls
repose and peace shall find.
7 For light and gentle is my yoke;
the burden I impose
Shall ease the heart, which groan'd before
beneath a load of woes.

Thus spoke the Saviour of the world
and raised his eyes to heav’n:
To thee, O Father! Lord of all,
eternal praise be giv’n.
Thou to the pure and lowly heart
hast heav’nly truth revealed;
Which from the self-conceited mind
thy wisdom hath concealed.
Ev’n so! thou, Father, hast ordained
thy high decree to stand;
Nor men nor angels may presume
the reason to demand.
Thou only know’st the Son: from thee
my kingdom I receive;
And none the Father know but they
who in the Son believe.
Come then to me, all ye who groan,
with guilt and fears opprest;
Resign to me the willing heart,
and I will give you rest.

Hugh Wilson
1766 - 1824 Person Name: Hugh Wilson, 1766-1824 Composer of "MARTYRDOM (FENWICK)" in The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook Hugh Wilson (b. Fenwick, Ayrshire, Scotland, c. 1766; d. Duntocher, Scotland, 1824) learned the shoemaker trade from his father. He also studied music and mathematics and became proficient enough in various subjects to become a part-time teacher to the villagers. Around 1800, he moved to Pollokshaws to work in the cotton mills and later moved to Duntocher, where he became a draftsman in the local mill. He also made sundials and composed hymn tunes as a hobby. Wilson was a member of the Secession Church, which had separated from the Church of Scotland. He served as a manager and precentor in the church in Duntocher and helped found its first Sunday school. It is thought that he composed and adapted a number of psalm tunes, but only two have survived because he gave instructions shortly before his death that all his music manuscripts were to be destroyed.
