Author: Eric Schumacher Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2917 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: For the redeeming agony Lyrics: 1. For the redeeming agony You suffered there on Calvary, For blood You shed and tears You cried, I love You, Christ my crucified. 2. O for Your bruised and bludgeoned frame That bore my every sin and shame Which You for me did take and die, I love You, Christ my crucified. 3. Yes, for the faithful love You showed, Which with abundant grace once flowed Out of Your opened hands and side, I love You, Christ my crucified. 4. That You, my King, would suffer scorn Beneath a crown of twisted thorn, Then in this rebel’s grave go lie, I love You, Christ my crucified. 5. And hearing how You left the grave Alive and ever strong to save, And then ascended as the sun, I love You, Christ my risen one. 6. O when I see you, risen King, I’ll do none else but fall to sing And with my all let this strain rise: I love You, Christ my glorified. Languages: English Tune Title: GERMANY

William Gardiner

1770 - 1853 Composer of "GERMANY" in The Cyber Hymnal William Gardiner (b. Leicester, England, 1770; d. Leicester, 1853) The son of an English hosiery manufacturer, Gardiner took up his father's trade in addition to writing about music, composing, and editing. Having met Joseph Haydn and Ludwig van Beethoven on his business travels, Gardiner then proceeded to help popularize their compositions, especially Beethoven's, in England. He recorded his memories of various musicians in Music and Friends (3 volumes, 1838-1853). In the first two volumes of Sacred Melodies (1812, 1815), Gardiner turned melodies from composers such as Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven into hymn tunes in an attempt to rejuvenate the singing of psalms. His work became an important model for American editors like Lowell Mason (see Mason's Boston Handel and Haydn Collection, 1822), and later hymnbook editors often turned to Gardiner as a source of tunes derived from classical music.
