Praise the LORD, for He Is Good
Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise the LORD, for He is good,
for His mercies ever sure
from eternity have stood,
to eternity endure;
let His ransomed people raise
songs to their Redeemer's praise.
2 From captivity released,
from the south and from the north,
from the west and from the east,
in His love He brought them forth,
ransomed out of every land
from the adversary's hand.
3 Wand'ring in the wilderness,
far they roamed the desert way,
found no settled dwelling-place
where in peace secure to stay,
till with thirst and hunger pressed
courage sank within their breast.
4 To Jehovah then they cried
in their trouble, and He saved;
He Himself became their guide,
led them to the rest they craved
by a pathway straight and sure,
to a city strong, secure.
5 Sons of men, awake to praise
God the LORD who reigns above,
gracious in His works and ways,
wondrous in redeeming love;
longing souls He satisfies,
hungry hearts with good supplies.

William Henry Monk
1823 - 1889 Adapter of "DIX" in Psalms and Hymns to the Living God William H. Monk (b. Brompton, London, England, 1823; d. London, 1889) is best known for his music editing of Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861, 1868; 1875, and 1889 editions). He also adapted music from plainsong and added accompaniments for Introits for Use Throughout the Year, a book issued with that famous hymnal. Beginning in his teenage years, Monk held a number of musical positions. He became choirmaster at King's College in London in 1847 and was organist and choirmaster at St. Matthias, Stoke Newington, from 1852 to 1889, where he was influenced by the Oxford Movement. At St. Matthias, Monk also began daily choral services with the choir leading the congregation in music chosen according to the church year, including psalms chanted to plainsong. He composed over fifty hymn tunes and edited The Scottish Hymnal (1872 edition) and Wordsworth's Hymns for the Holy Year (1862) as well as the periodical Parish Choir (1840-1851).

Conrad Kocher
1786 - 1872 Composer of "DIX" in Psalms and Hymns to the Living God Trained as a teacher, Conrad Kocher (b. Ditzingen, Wurttemberg, Germany, 1786; d. Stuttgart, Germany, 1872) moved to St. Petersburg, Russia, to work as a tutor at the age of seventeen. But his love for the music of Haydn and Mozart impelled him to a career in music. He moved back to Germany in 1811, settled in Stuttgart, and remained there for most of his life. The prestigious Cotta music firm published some of his early compositions and sent him to study music in Italy, where he came under the influence of Palestrina's music. In 1821 Kocher founded the School for Sacred Song in Stuttgart, which popularized four-part singing in the churches of that region. He was organist and choir director at the Stiftskirche in Stuttgart from 1827 to 1865. Kocher wrote a treatise on church music, Die Tonkunst in der Kirche (1823), collected a large number of chorales in Zions Harfe (1855), and composed an oratorio, two operas, and some sonatas. William H. Monk created the current form of DIX by revising and shortening Conrad Kocher's chorale melody for “Treuer Heiland, wir sind hier,” found in Kocher's Stimmen aus dem Reiche Gottes (1838).

Joseph Haydn
1732 - 1809 Person Name: Haydn Composer of "HALLE" in The Psalter Hymnal Franz Joseph Haydn (b. Rohrau, Austria, 1732; d. Vienna, Austria, 1809) Haydn's life was relatively uneventful, but his artistic legacy was truly astounding. He began his musical career as a choirboy in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, spent some years in that city making a precarious living as a music teacher and composer, and then served as music director for the Esterhazy family from 1761 to 1790. Haydn became a most productive and widely respected composer of symphonies, chamber music, and piano sonatas. In his retirement years he took two extended tours to England, which resulted in his "London" symphonies and (because of G. F. Handel's influence) in oratorios. Haydn's church music includes six great Masses and a few original hymn tunes. Hymnal editors have also arranged hymn tunes from various themes in Haydn's music.
