Night Has Closed The Gates

Author: James Baden Powell Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Night has closed the gates, Fades away the twilight, While all nature waits, Watching for the morn, When the Christ was born, Christ the Star of daylight. 2 Olden prophets spake Many a word of warning; "From your slumbers wake! Lo! the heav’ns are riv’n, For sure a Son is giv’n!" Given with the dawning. 3 Psalmists sang their song, Song of loving kindness, Of the promise long, Sure, with mercy dight, Sure in giving light; Light unto man’s blindness. 4 Christ, the Light has come, Christ, true mercy bringing, Earth is Heaven’s home, Earth, where angels’ cry, "Praise to God on high," Through the night is ringing. 5 Jesu, Mary’s Son! Born for every nation, By the grace Thou’st won, Shed from Heaven’s height, Mercy, truth and light, In the end, salvation. Used With Tune: [Night has closed the gates] Text Sources: Carols Old and Carols New, by Charles L. Hutchins (Boston: Parish Choir, 1916)

Claude Goudimel

1514 - 1572 Harmonizer of "GENEVAN 81" in Trinity Psalter Hymnal The music of Claude Goudimel (b. Besançon, France, c. 1505; d. Lyons, France, 1572) was first published in Paris, and by 1551 he was composing harmonizations for some Genevan psalm tunes-initially for use by both Roman Catholics and Protestants. He became a Calvinist in 1557 while living in the Huguenot community in Metz. When the complete Genevan Psalter with its unison melodies was published in 1562, Goudimel began to compose various polyphonic settings of all the Genevan tunes. He actually composed three complete harmonizations of the Genevan Psalter, usually with the tune in the tenor part: simple hymn-style settings (1564), slightly more complicated harmonizations (1565), and quite elaborate, motet-like settings (1565-1566). The various Goudimel settings became popular throughout Calvinist Europe, both for domestic singing and later for use as organ harmonizations in church. Goudimel was one of the victims of the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre of Huguenots, which oc­curred throughout France. Bert Polman

Dale Grotenhuis

1931 - 2012 Person Name: Dale Grotenhuis, 1931-2012 Harmonizer of "GENEVAN 81" in Lift Up Your Hearts Dale Grotenhuis (b. Cedar Grove, WI, 1931; d. Jenison, Mi, August 17, 2012) was a member of the 1987 Psalter Hymnal 1987 Revision Committee, and was professor of music and director of choral music at Dordt College, Sioux Center, Iowa, from 1960 until he retired in 1994 to concentrate on composition. Educated at Calvin College; Michigan State University, Lansing; and Ohio State University, Columbus; he combined teaching with composition throughout his career and was a widely published composer of choral music. He also directed the Dordt choir in a large number of recordings, including many psalm arrangements found in the 1959 edition of the Psalter Hymnal. Before coming to Dordt, Grotenhuis taught music at Christian high schools in Washington and Michigan. Under his direction, the Dordt College concert choir participated in annual tours that took members throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. He loved the church and the music of the church. His favorite song was "All Glory Be to God on High". Bert Polman (last two sentences from Joy Grotenhuis, daughter-in-law)

Marie J. Post

1919 - 1990 Author of "Sing a Psalm of Joy" in Lift Up Your Hearts Marie (Tuinstra) Post (b. Jenison, MI, 1919; d. Grand Rapids, MI, 1990) While attending Dutch church services as a child, Post was first introduced to the Genevan psalms, which influenced her later writings. She attended Calvin College, Grand Rapids, Michigan, where she studied with Henry Zylstra. From 1940 to 1942 she taught at the Muskegon Christian Junior High School. For over thirty years Post wrote poetry for the Grand Rapids Press and various church periodicals. She gave many readings of her poetry in churches and schools and has been published in a number of journals and poetry anthologies. Two important collections of her poems are I Never Visited an Artist Before (1977) and the posthumous Sandals, Sails, and Saints (1993). A member of the 1987 Psalter Hymnal Revision Committee, Post was a significant contribu­tor to its array of original texts and paraphrases. Bert Polman
