For God has sent a glorious light; And we who live in Christ's new day Must works of darkness put away. 2 Let in the light; all sin expose To Christ, whose life no darkness knows. Before the cross expectant kneel; That Christ may judge, and judging heal. 3 Awake, and rise up from the dead, And Christ his light on you will shed. Its pow'r will wrong desires destroy, And your whole nature fill with joy. 4 Then sing for joy, and use each day; Give thanks for ev'rything alway. Lift up your hearts; with one accord Praise God through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

J. W. Elliott

1833 - 1915 Person Name: James William Elliott, 1833-1915 Composer of "CHURCH TRIUMPHANT" in Common Praise (1998) J.W. Elliott was a popular composer of the Victorian period, and is best known for his nursery rhyme music and for his work on hymnals in the 1870s. He was born James William Elliott, in Warwick, England, on February 13, 1833. As a child, he sang as a chorister in the Leamington Parish Church. In those days, choristers were given lessons in all facets of church music, including organ lessons, counterpoint studies, and more in exchange for providing an extraordinary level of service to their parish church (services throughout the week, all holidays, extra services, etc.). The result is that most choristers who completed their studies received an excellent music education, and James was no exception. After starting his career as an organist and choirmaster for a countryside church, his talent became obvious. He moved to London, where he assisted Sir Arthur Sullivan (of Gilbert and Sullivan fame) in editing Church Hymns. In addition, James worked for a music publisher. His compositions include two operettas, numerous anthems, service music, works for instruments including the very popular harmonium, and most particularly for Nursery Rhymes and Nursery Songs, his children’s music score that sets many of the Nursery Rhymes to delightful music. Several of his hymn tunes are still in use today in many hymnals, most notably his hymn tune “Day of Rest.” He was heavily involved in the preparation of the musical edition of Church Hymns in 1874, the Choral Service Book of 1892, and transcriptions of hymn tunes using harmonies different than the traditional ones found in hymnals. He died in St. Marylebone, London, on February 5, 1915. --www.nursery-songs.com/
