Closer to Thine;
Breathe into every wish
Thy will divine;
Raise my low self above,
Won by Thy deathless love;
Ever, O Christ, thro' mine
Let Thy life shine.
2 Lead forth my soul, O Christ,
One with Thine own,
Joyful to follow Thee
Thro' paths unknown;
In Thee my strength renew;
Give me Thy work to do;
Thro' me Thy truth be shown,
Thy love made known.
3 Not for myself alone
May my prayer be;
Lift Thou Thy world, O Christ,
Closer to Thee;
Cleanse it from guilt and wrong;
Teach it salvation's song,
Till earth, as heav'n, fulfill
God's holy will.

Let Not Thy Hands Be Slack
Author: S. E. Burrow Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15361 Meter: 10.10.12.10 First Line: Let not thy hands be slack, live not in vain Lyrics: 1 Let not thy hands be slack, live not in vain;
Out on life’s lonely track men toil in pain.
Play thou a brother’s part, strength, love and hope impart;
Bid thou the fainting heart look up again.
2 Let not thy hands be slack, haste to the fray!
Dream not of turning back; life is not play!
Gird thou thy armor on, fight till the battle’s won,
Then shall thy Lord’s Well done, more than repay!
3 Let not thy hands be slack, grip thou thy sword!
Why should’st thou courage lack? Think of the Lord.
Did He not fight for thee? Stronger than all is He,
And He thy strength will be, rest on His Word.
4 Let not thy hands be slack, fear not! be strong!
Cease not to make attack on every wrong!
Press on for truth and right, hold high the Gospel light,
Expel the dirge of night with Heaven’s song!
5 Let not thy hands be slack, the days fly fast.
Lost moments come not back from the dark past.
Then be not slack of hand! Help thou the weak to stand!
To God and fatherland give all thou hast! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. EDMUND

Мой в небе край родной
Author: Thomas R. Taylor; Unknown Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15307 Meter: 10.10.12.10 First Line: Мой в небе край родной мой в небе дом! Lyrics: 1 Мой в небе край родной мой в небе дом!
Там мой Отец благой, мой в небе дом!
Я странник на земле, мой путь лежит во мгле,
И скорби лишь кругом—мой в небе дом!
2 Не долог путь земной—мой в небе дом!
Хоть тяжек жизни бой—мой в небе дом’.
Но все пройдет, как сон, и будет путь свершен,
И буду я с Отцом—мой в небе дом!
3 Там где Христа народ—мой в небе дом!
Мой дух туда влечет—мой в небе дом!
Там буду ликовать, Иисуса воспевать
Перед Его лицом—Мой в небе дом!
4 И буду ль я страдать—мой в небе дом!
Все ж не могу роптать—мой в небе дом!
Ведь Сам Христос страдал и в небе обещал
Украсить Он венцом—мой в небе дом! Languages: Russian Tune Title: ST. EDMUND

I'm But a Stranger Here
Author: Thomas R. Taylor Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2923 Meter: 10.10.12.10 First Line: I'm but a stranger here, Heav'n is my home Lyrics: 1. I’m but a stranger here, Heav’n is my home;
Earth is a desert drear, Heav’n is my home.
Danger and sorrow stand round me on every hand;
Heav’n is my fatherland, Heav’n is my home.
2. What though the tempest rage, Heav’n is my home;
Short is my pilgrimage, Heav’n is my home;
Time’s cold and wild wintry blast soon shall be over past;
I shall reach home at last, Heav’n is my home.
3. There at my Savior’s side Heav’n is my home;
I shall be glorified, Heav’n is my home.
There are the good and blest, those I loved most and best;
There, too, I soon shall rest, Heav’n is my home.
4. Therefore I murmur not, Heav’n is my home;
Whate’er my earthly lot, Heav’n is my home;
And I shall surely stand there at my Lord’s right hand.
Heav’n is my fatherland, Heav’n is my home. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. EDMUND (Sullivan)

Arthur Sullivan
1842 - 1900 Person Name: Arthur Seymour Sullivan Composer of "ST. EDMUND (Sullivan)" in The Cyber Hymnal Arthur Seymour Sullivan (b Lambeth, London. England. 1842; d. Westminster, London, 1900) was born of an Italian mother and an Irish father who was an army bandmaster and a professor of music. Sullivan entered the Chapel Royal as a chorister in 1854. He was elected as the first Mendelssohn scholar in 1856, when he began his studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He also studied at the Leipzig Conservatory (1858-1861) and in 1866 was appointed professor of composition at the Royal Academy of Music. Early in his career Sullivan composed oratorios and music for some Shakespeare plays. However, he is best known for writing the music for lyrics by William S. Gilbert, which produced popular operettas such as H.M.S. Pinafore (1878), The Pirates of Penzance (1879), The Mikado (1884), and Yeomen of the Guard (1888). These operettas satirized the court and everyday life in Victorian times. Although he composed some anthems, in the area of church music Sullivan is best remembered for his hymn tunes, written between 1867 and 1874 and published in The Hymnary (1872) and Church Hymns (1874), both of which he edited. He contributed hymns to A Hymnal Chiefly from The Book of Praise (1867) and to the Presbyterian collection Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (1867). A complete collection of his hymns and arrangements was published posthumously as Hymn Tunes by Arthur Sullivan (1902). Sullivan steadfastly refused to grant permission to those who wished to make hymn tunes from the popular melodies in his operettas.

Thomas Rawson Taylor
1807 - 1835 Person Name: Thomas R. Taylor Author of "I'm But a Stranger Here" in The Cyber Hymnal Taylor, Thomas Rawson, son of the Rev. Thomas Taylor, some time Congregational Minister at Bradford, Yorkshire, was born at Ossett, near Wakefield, May 9, 1807, and educated at the Free School, Bradford, and the Leaf Square Academy, Manchester. From the age of 15 to 18 he was engaged, first in a merchant's, and then in a printer's office. Influenced by strong religious desires, he entered the Airedale Independent College at 18, to prepare for the Congregational ministry. His first and only charge was Howard Street Chapel, Sheffield. This he retained about six months, entering upon the charge in July 1830, and leaving it in the January following. For a short time he acted as classical tutor at Airedale College, but the failure of health which compelled him to leave Sheffield also necessitated his resigning his tutorship. He died March 7, 1835. A volume of his Memoirs and Select Remains, by W. S. Matthews, in which were several poems and a few hymns, was published in 1836. His best known hymn is "I'm but a stranger here". The rest in common use all from his Memoirs, 1836, are:—
1. Earth, with her ten thousand flowers. The love of God.
2. Saviour and Lord of all. Hymn to the Saviour. Altered as "Jesu, Immanuel" in the LeedsHymn Book, 1853.
3. There was a tims when children sang. Sunday School Anniversary.
4. Yes, it is good to worship Thee. Divine Worship. From this "'Tis sweet, 0 God, to sing Thy praise," beginning with st. ii.
5. Yes, there are little ones in heaven. Sunday School Anniversary.

to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset

with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo
and pitch to suit their local needs.
