To Calvary, Lord, in Spirit Now

Author: Edward Denny Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6845 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. To Calvary, Lord, in spirit now, Our weary souls repair, To dwell upon Thy dying love, And taste its sweetness there. 2. Sweet resting place of every heart, That feels the plague of sin, Yet knows that deep mysterious joy, The peace with God, within. 3. There, through Thine hour of deepest woe, Thy suffering spirit passed; Grace there its wondrous victory gained, And love endured its last. 4. Dear suffering Lamb! Thy bleeding wounds, With cords of love divine, Have drawn our willing hearts to Thee, And linked our life with Thine. 5. Thy sympathies and hopes are ours: Dear Lord! we wait to see Creation, all below, above, Redeemed and blest by Thee. 6. Our longing eyes would fain behold That bright and blessèd brow, Once wrung with bitterest anguish, wear Its crown of glory now. 7. Why linger then? Come, Savior, come, Responsive to our call; Come, claim Thine ancient power, and reign The Heir and Lord of all. Languages: English Tune Title: BURFORD

Joseph Haydn

1732 - 1809 Person Name: F. J. Haydn Composer of "MANOAH" in The Coronation 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. Bert Polman

Hugh Wilson

1766 - 1824 Person Name: H. Wilson Composer of "MARTYRDOM" in Songs for the Lord's House Hugh Wilson (b. Fenwick, Ayrshire, Scotland, c. 1766; d. Duntocher, Scotland, 1824) learned the shoemaker trade from his father. He also studied music and mathematics and became proficient enough in various subjects to become a part-­time teacher to the villagers. Around 1800, he moved to Pollokshaws to work in the cotton mills and later moved to Duntocher, where he became a draftsman in the local mill. He also made sundials and composed hymn tunes as a hobby. Wilson was a member of the Secession Church, which had separated from the Church of Scotland. He served as a manager and precentor in the church in Duntocher and helped found its first Sunday school. It is thought that he composed and adapted a number of psalm tunes, but only two have survived because he gave instructions shortly before his death that all his music manuscripts were to be destroyed.
