Angel bands, in strains sweet sounding

Hymnal: Hymnal #433 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Angel bands, in strains sweet sounding, Anthems to the Saviour raise: Host of heaven, His throne surrounding, Hymn the great Creator's praise. 2 Radiant orb of day, adore him, Praise Him, thou who rul'st the night; Heaven of heavens, O bow before Him, Laud Him, all ye worlds of light. 3 Praise Him, wild and restless ocean Praise Him, monsters of the deep; Praise Him in your rude commotion, Storms that at His mandate sweep. 4 Hills and mountains, heavenward towering, Fires that in their bosom glow; Clouds around their cliffs dark lowering, Torrents down their steeps that flow; 5 Verdant fields and valleys blooming, Insect myriads own His care; Wild beasts through the forest roaming, Warbling tenants of the air. 6 Kings and rulers, shout His glory, People, join the laud acclaim, maidens, youth, and fathers hoary, Infants, lisp His holy Name. 7 Every kindred, tongue, and nation, Him Who gave you life adore; Earth and heaven, and all creation, Praise His Name for evermore.

Ev'ry kindred tongue and nation, Him who gave you life adore; Earth and Heav'n and all creation, Praise His name for evermore. 2 Praise Him wild and restless Ocean, Praise Him monsters of the deep, Praise Him in your rude commotion, Storm that at His mandate sweep.

Ev'ry kindred tongue and nation, Him who gave you life adore; Earth and Heav'n and all creation, Praise His name for evermore. 3 Verdant fields and valleys blooming, Insect myriads own His care, Wild beasts thro' the forests roaming, Warbling tenants of the air.

Henry J. Gauntlett

1805 - 1876 Person Name: Dr. Gauntlett Composer of "PRAISE HIM" in Heaven's Echo Henry J. Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, July 9, 1805; d. London, England, February 21, 1876) When he was nine years old, Henry John Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, England, 1805; d. Kensington, London, England, 1876) became organist at his father's church in Olney, Buckinghamshire. At his father's insistence he studied law, practicing it until 1844, after which he chose to devote the rest of his life to music. He was an organist in various churches in the London area and became an important figure in the history of British pipe organs. A designer of organs for William Hill's company, Gauntlett extend­ed the organ pedal range and in 1851 took out a patent on electric action for organs. Felix Mendelssohn chose him to play the organ part at the first performance of Elijah in Birmingham, England, in 1846. Gauntlett is said to have composed some ten thousand hymn tunes, most of which have been forgotten. Also a supporter of the use of plainchant in the church, Gauntlett published the Gregorian Hymnal of Matins and Evensong (1844). Bert Polman
