Those in common use are:— 1. 0 the deep mystery of that love. The Love of Jesus. First published in P. Hood's Our Hymn Book, 1868, No. 736, in 4 stanzas of 4 lines. 2. With the sweet word of peace.

A painter in water colours, and student of Manx national music. In combination with his brother, Deemster Gill and Dr. Clague, published in 1805 a volume of Manx National Songs. He has also composed several popular Anthems and Solos. Two of his hymns have attained to some reputation:— 1. Hear us, 0 Lord, from Heaven, Thy dwelling place. [Harvest of the Sea.] Mr. Gill's manuscript history of the origin and building up of this hymn is more than usually interesting, as supplied to us in 1905. This hymn "was directly inspired by my quest some ten years ago for Manx music. . . . Among many interesting finds ... of our once lost national music . . . was a remnant of melody which had . . . been associated with Manx words . . . That melody ... I converted into a hymn tune . . . Then I sought inspiration for a suitable subject." This was found in the occupation of the fisher-folk and the petition in the Manx Book of C. Prayer "That it may please Thee to give and preserve to our use the kindly fruits of the earth, and to restore and continue to us the blessings of the sea, so as in due time we may enjoy them." Continuing, Mr. Gill adds, "Hence the Hymn and its Tune, which I devoutly hope may never" be divorced." Both Hymn and Tune were published in Manx National Songs (London: Boosey & Co.), 1895, and in the Methodist Hymn Book, 1904. It is for its purpose the most suitable hymn we know, and supplies e. felt want in fishing villages and towns. 2. 0 King of nations. Righteous Lord. [In Time of War.] "For our Soldiers and Sailors," written during the Boer War. Its popularity was great, thirty-five thousand copies having been sold in one week (Abingdon: W. H. Hooke). 3. Warrior, rest! thy work is done. [Victory.] "A Song of Victory." Very spirited and devotional. (Abingdon: W. H. Hooke). --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)

Ludwig van Beethoven

1770 - 1827 Person Name: L Van Beethoven 1770-1827 Topics: Sea Composer of "ODE TO JOY" in Praise! psalms hymns and songs for Christian worship A giant in the history of music, Ludwig van Beethoven (b. Bonn, Germany, 1770; d. Vienna, Austria, 1827) progressed from early musical promise to worldwide, lasting fame. By the age of fourteen he was an accomplished viola and organ player, but he became famous primarily because of his compositions, including nine symphonies, eleven overtures, thirty piano sonatas, sixteen string quartets, the Mass in C, and the Missa Solemnis. He wrote no music for congregational use, but various arrangers adapted some of his musical themes as hymn tunes; the most famous of these is ODE TO JOY from the Ninth Symphony. Although it would appear that the great calamity of Beethoven's life was his loss of hearing, which turned to total deafness during the last decade of his life, he composed his greatest works during this period.
