Benjamin Gough

1805 - 1877 Topics: Advent of Christ To Kingdom Author of "Awake, awake, O Zion" in Laudes Domini Gough, Benjamin, was born at Southborough, Kent, in 1805, and died Nov. 28,1877. He was engaged in mercantile pursuits in London for some years. After retiring from business he resided at Mountfield, Faversham. He was a member and lay preacher of the Wesleyan denomination. His poetical works include:— (1) Lyra Sabbatica, Lon., 1865; (2) Kentish Lyrics, London, 1867; (3) Hymns of Prayer and Praise, London, 1875; and several minor publications, the most important being (4) Protestant Hymns & Songs for the Million, Lon., 1878; (5) Songs from the Woodlands, and Other Poems, Lon., 1872; and (6) Christmas Carols and New Year's Songs, Lon. (n.d.). Of Mr. Gough's hymns, about 20 are in common use in Great Britain and America, and of these the most popular and widely used is "Awake, awake, O Zion," q.v. Although possessing many features of popularity, his hymns do not rank high as literary productions. His works are also marred by numerous and feeble imitations of the great lyrics of the Church. Many of his earlier hymns were rewritten for his Hymns of Prayer & Praise, very much to their disadvantage. In addition to those which are annotated under their first lines the following are in common use:— 1. Be thou faithful unto death. Faithfulness. Appeared in his Lyra Sabbatica, &c, 1865, p. 77, in 3 stanzas of 8 lines, and entitled "Christian Fidelity." In 1867 it was transferred to the People's Hymnal, and again, in 1875, to the New Mitre-Hymnal, No. 151. 2. Blessed are the dead who die. Burial. Appeared in his Lyra Sabbatica, 1865, p. 89, in 4 stanzas of 8 lines and headed "For the dead in Christ." In Hatfield's Church Hymn Book, N. Y., 1872, it is slightly altered. 3. Christ is risen from the dead. Easter. In Lyra Sabbatica, 1865, p. 96, in 6 stanzas of 8 lines, as "An Easter Carol;" but in his Hymns of Prayer & Praise, 1875, p. 49, this is changed to "An Easter Hymn." In the New Mitre-Hymnal, 1875, stanzas iv., v. are omitted. 4. Come, children, and join with ardour divine. Missions. In his Lyra Sabbatica, 1865, p. 159, in 9 stanzas of 3 lines, and entitled, "Children's Missionary Hymn" and the Hymns of Prayer & Praise, 1875, No. 39, in 4 stanzas of 6 lines. In the latter work it is rewritten, very much to its disadvantage. The 1865 text is followed in the Methodist Sunday School Hymn Book, 1879, No. 562. 5. Come to Bethlehem and see. Christmas. Appeared in his Christmas Carols, &c, n.d., p. 21, in 5 stanzas of 8 lines. In the New Mitre-Hymnal, 1875, No. 26, it is dated 1873. 6. For all the [Thy] saints in heaven and earth. All Saints.

Appeared in his Kentish Lyrics, 1867, p. 97, in 4 stanzas of 6 lines; and rewritten in a far less acceptable form, in his Hymns of Prayer & Praise, 1875, p. 80, in 4 stanzas of 6 lines. No. 8 in the Methodist Sunday School Hymn Book, 1879, is from the 1867 text. 8. Ho, every one that thirsteth. Invitation. Published in his Lyra Sabbatica, 1865, p. 83, in 5 stanzas of 8 lines; and, altered to its disadvantage, in his Hymns of Prayer & Praise. 1875, p. 33, in 5 stanzas of 8 lines. No. 291 in Methodist Sunday School Hymn Book, 1879 is from the 1865 text. 9. How beauteous on the mountains. Missions. In Lyra Sabbatica, 1865, p. 23, in 5 stanzas of 8 lines; and his Hymns of Prayer & Praise, 1875, p. 20. In Hatfield's Church Hymn Book, N. Y., 1872, No. 1246, is composed of stanzas i.-iii. 10. In Thy temple we adore Thee, gentle, pure, and holy Child. Christmas. In his Christmas Carols, &c, n.d., p. 39, in 3 stanzas of 4 double lines. In the New Mitre-Hymnal, 1875, No. 30, it is dated 1873, and begins, “In Thy cradle we adore Thee." 11. Jesus, full of love divine. Love of Jesus.

Robert Seagrave

1693 - 1759 Topics: Christ Second Advent; Fellowship with God; Heaven Longings for; Life Object of; Portion God, the believer's; Sanctification Author of "Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings" in Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes Robert Seagrave was born at Twyford, Leicestershire, in 1693. He studied at Clare Hall, Cambridge, graduating in 1718. In 1739, he was appointed Sunday Evening Lecturer at Lorimer's Hall, London. He afterwards preached in the Tabernacle, in connection with the Calvinistic Methodists. The date of his death is unknown. He published some treatises on doctrinal subjects, and on the duties of the ministry. In 1742, he published "Hymns for Christian Worship." His hymns have been published by Sedgwick (1860). --Annotations of the Hymnal, Charles Hutchins, M.A., 1872. ==================================== Seagrave, Robert, M.A., son of Robert Seagrave, Vicar of Twyford, Leicestershire, was born at Twyford, Nov. 22, 1693, and educated at Clare College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1714. Taking Holy Orders he entered most earnestly into the movement then being carried forward by the Wesleys and Whitefield; and between 1731 and 1746 he issued numerous letters and pamphlets, &c, designed to awaken in the clergy a deeper earnestness in their work. In 1739 he was appointed Sunday Evening Lecturer at Loriners' Hall, London, where he continued to preach till 1750. He also occupied Whitefield's Tabernacle from time to time. His hymns, which were better known and more highly appreciated by the older compilers than those in modern days, and will still repay perusal, were included in his collection, published by him for use at the Loriner's Hall, as Hymns for Christian Worship, partly composed, and partly collected from Various Authors, 1742. The 4th edition was published in 1748, and the originals were reprinted by D. Sedgwick as Seagrave's Hymns, in 1860. Two of these hymns are still in common use:— 1. Now may the Spirit's holy fire. Opening of a Place of Worship. This, from Hymns for Christian Worship, &c, 1742, was given by G. Whitefield as the opening hymn of his Hymns for Social Worship, &c, 1753. It was repeated in Toplady's Psalms & Hymns, 1776; and again in later collections to modern hymnbooks. 2. Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings. Pilgrim's Song. Also from his Hymns, &c, 1742, into G. Whitefield's Hymns, &c, 1753; and again in others to modern hymn books. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

His gravestone bears the music of Rimington, and a plaque to his memory was placed above the doorway to the former Methodist Chapel in Stopper Lane, Lancashire. When Duckworth was five years old, his family moved to the village of Stopper Lane, near Rimington. He had to leave school at age 12 to help in the family business. At age 20, he moved to Burnley, Lancashire, to work for a tobacconist cousin. Six years later, he returned to live at Colne, and in 1899 took a grocery business in Market Street, Colne. Duckworth had an early interest in music, but received only three months of formal lessons. Shortly after arriving in Colne, he became deputy organist (later organist) at the Albert Road Methodist Church, serving until 1929. He composed numerous hymn tunes, 18 of them appearing in the Rimington Hymnal. His tune Rimington was sung by a massive congregation of British troops on the Mount of Olives after the surrender of Jerusalem during World War I. --www.hymntime.com/tch
