Bread of heaven, bread of heaven, feed me now and evermore, feed me now and evermore. 2 Open now the crystal fountain, where the healing waters flow. Let the fire and cloudy pillar lead me all my journey through. Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer, ever be my strength and shield, ever be my strength and shield. 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, bid my anxious fears subside. Death of death, and hell's Destruction, land me safe on Canaan's side. Songs of praises, songs of praises I will ever sing to you, I will ever sing to you.

Han år måktig, han år nådig; Tvifla ej, då själf han bjöd! 2 Kom, du fattige, välkommen, Gläds, att sådan nåd dig bjuds! "Utan penningar, för intet" Lifvets bröd dig står till buds. Hvarje nåd vill Jesus gifva, Han, som är ditt lif, din Gud. 3 Låt ej lagens dom dig hindra Eller din ovärdighet! All den värdighet han fordrar Är, att du din ringhet vet Och att honom du behöfver: Han, som är ditt lif, din Gud. 4 Kom, betungade och trötte, Du, som fallets prägel bär! Dröjer du, tills du "blir bättre," Då du aldrig komma lär. Syndare vill Jesus frälsa: Kom, så full af synd du är! 5 Kämpande i örtagården se din Frälsare, och hör Från det blodbestänkta korset Honom ropa, förr'n han dör: "Det fuldkomnadt är!" ditt hjärta, Syndare, ej tvifla bör! 6 Hör, din Gud, som mänska blifvit, Prisar kraften af sitt blod; Lita då därpå fullkomlight, Tag ej annan tröst för god: Ingen utan Jesus Kristus Kan ge tröstlöst hjärta mod!

Henry Purcell

1659 - 1695 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Composer of "WESTMINSTER ABBEY" in Rejoice in the Lord Henry Purcell (b. Westminster, London, England, 1659; d. Westminster, 1695), was perhaps the greatest English composer who ever lived, though he only lived to the age of thirty-six. Purcell's first piece was published at age eight when he was also a chorister in the Chapel Royal. When his voice changed in 1673, he was appointed assistant to John Hingston, who built chamber organs and maintained the king's instruments. In 1674 Purcell began tuning the Westminster Abbey organ and was paid to copy organ music. Given the position of composer for the violins in 1677, he also became organist at Westminster Abbey in 1679 (at age twenty) and succeeded Hingston as maintainer of the king's instruments (1683). Purcell composed music for the theater (Dido and Aeneas, c. 1689) and for keyboards, provided music for royal coronations and other ceremonies, and wrote a substantial body of church music, including eighteen full anthems and fifty-six verse anthems.

Born at York, ME, he was raised on his father's farm, with rainy days spent in a shoe-shop, the custom in those days. He loved music and spent spare hours practicing any music he could find. In 1830 the family moved to Boston, where he first saw and heard an organ and piano, and other instruments. He became an organist at 15. He attended Dr. Lowell Mason's singing classes, and later sang in the Bowdoin Street church choir. Dr. Mason became a good friend.

He returned to Boston the following year to marry Adra Esther Fessenden in 1838, then relocated to Saint John, New Brunswick. Where his efforts were not much appreciated, so he returned to Boston. He was offered charge of music and organ at the First Baptist Church of Brooklyn. That led to similar work at the Baptist Tabernacle, New York City, where he also started a singing class. That started singing schools in various parts of the city, and eventually resulted in music festivals, held at the Broadway Tabernacle, a prominent city event. He conducted a 1000 children choir there, which resulted in music being taught as regular study in public schools of the city. He began writing music and publishing it. In 1847 he went with his wife to Europe to study with some of the music masters in London and also Germany. He attended Mendelssohn funeral while there. He went to Switzerland before returning to the states, and upon returning, commenced teaching, conducting conventions, composing, and editing music books.
