1 Lauded be thy holy name,
Thou of life the Giver,
Thou who holdest in thy hand
Mountain, rock and river;
Thine the flaming sphere of light,
Rising from the sea,
Thine the present and the past,
Thine eternity.

Refrain:
Thou that slumb’rest not nor sleepest,
In thy holy keeping we our future place;
Till in heaven we adore thee,
There to fully know thy grace.
Lauded be thy holy name,
Thou of life the Giver,
Thou who holdest in thy hand
Mountain, rock and river;
Thine the flaming sphere of light,
Rising from the sea,
Thine the present and the past,
Thine eternity.

2 Thine the gentle voice we hear,
Soft as breath of even,
In the stillness of the night
Telling us of heaven;
Ev’ry virtue we possess,
Ev’ryvict’ry won,
Ev’ry thought of holiness,
All are thine alone. [Refrain]

3 Keep us ever in thy love,
Ever in thy favor,
And the love that made us thine
Keeps us thine forever;
Glowing hearts with rapture dwell
On thy wondrous love,
Thus to make for us a place
In thy courts above. [Refrain]

At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel… Go to person page >
