Author: William M. Runyan, 1870-1957 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3774 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Like as a mother comforteth
O words of gentle worth!
So will I comfort you, declares
The Lord of all the earth.
2. He bends in faithful watchfulness;
He slumbers not nor sleeps;
Above His trusting child the Lord
A constant vigil keeps.
3. He patient is, as mothers are
Who love their children well;
Our faults and failings He forgives;
His mercies—who can tell!
4. Like as a mother, grant, O God,
This likeness e’er may be
A holy symbol to declare
The love that dwells in Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: BEATITUDO

William M. Runyan
1870 - 1957 Author of "Like as a Mother Comforteth" in Favorite Hymns No. 2 Showing early musical promise, William Marion Runyan (b. Marion, NY, 1870; d. Pittsburg, KS, 1957) was a substitute church organist by the age of twelve. He became a Methodist minister in 1891 and served several churches in Kansas but turned to evangelism in 1903; he worked for the Central Methodist Conference for the next twenty years. Following that service, Runyan became pastor at the Federated Church at John Brown University, Sulphur Springs, Arkansas. Editor of Christian Workers Magazine, he also served the Moody Bible Institute and was an editor for Hope Publishing Company until his retirement in 1948. Runyan wrote a number of hymn texts, gospel songs, and hymn tunes.

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Composer of "BEATITUDO" in The Cyber Hymnal As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern.
