Hymnal: Voices of Praise #307 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Come, Christian youths and maidens,
Come, brothers, old and young,
Uplift your hearts and voices,
Be praise on every tongue.
In God's own House we gather,
Our yearly feast to hold;
Come, join our joyful anthem,
Ye brothers, young and old.
2 Come, sing with us the praises
Of God's preserving care,
Who safe from harm has kept us
Throughout another year;
And crowned our lives with mercies
Unnumbered as the sand,
Which day by day have reached us
From His all-gracious Hand.
3 Come, sing with us the praises
Of God's Redeeming Love,
That song which never ceases
Around the Throne above;
The voice of many Angels,
"Worthy the Lamb of God;
For He was slain to save us
By His most precious Blood."
4 Come, praise Him for glad tidings
Heard in this hallowed place--
Glad tidings of salvation,
By free and sovereign grace;
For gifts of Holy Scripture,
Known from our childhood's days;
For call from Heaven to serve Him
In wisdom's happy ways.
5 Come, praise Him for the promise
Of strength in weakness given;
For means of grace provided;
For blessed hope of Heaven.
Oh, Christian youths and maidens!
Oh, brothers, old and young!
Uplift your hearts and voices,
And let His praise be sung.
Amen. Topics: School Festivals Languages: English Tune Title: COMMEMORATION

T. Alfred Stowell
1831 - 1916 Author of "Come, Christian Youths and Maidens" T. Alfred Stowell, M.A.; Queen’s College, Oxford; rector of Chorley; hon. canon of Manchester Cathedral; and rural dean of Leyland
=======================
Stowell, Thomas Alfred, M.A., son of Canon H. Stowell, was born at Salford, July 15, 1831. He was Bridgman Exhibitioner at Queen's College, Oxford, 1853, and B.A. in honours in 1855. Taking Holy Orders in 1857, he became Curate of Bolton, Diocese of Ripon, 1857-60; Incumbent of St. Stephen's, Bowling, Bradford, 1860-65; and then Rector of Christ Church, Salford, in succession to his father, 1865. He was also appointed Rural Dean of Salford in 1876, and Hon. Canon in Manchester Cathedral in 1879. Canon T. A. Stowell has published The Church Catechism simply and clearly explained, 1882, various Sermons, papers on Education, &c. Most of his hymns were written for the Anniversary Sermons of Christ Church Sunday Schools, Salford (nearly 2000 children), and include:—
1. Blessed Saviour, hear us when we cry. 1872.
2. Happy were those mothers. 1866.
3. In God's holy dwelling. 1873.
4. Lord, on Thy day, within Thy holy dwelling. 1877.
5. Lord, Thy children lowly bending. 1875.
6. My Saviour, be thou near me, When I lie down, &c. 1874.
7. O Jesus [Saviour] we have promised Henceforth to be Thine Own. Confirmation. 1877.
8. Sweet day of rest which God has given. Sunday. 1868.
9. While the sun is shining. Work. 1869.
These 9 hymns are in Canon T. A. Stowell's 1877 ed. of his father's Selection and of these Nos. 3 and 9 are the most popular.
He is also the author of:—
10. Come, Christian youths and maidens. Sunday School Anniversary. In Mrs. Brock's Children's Hymn Book, 1881, and others.
11. Early the holy women came. Easter. In the Church Monthly, April, 1888.
12. Remember thy Creator. Youthful Piety. In the Church S. School Magazine , Feb. 1888.
13. Saviour, we are young and weak. The Christian Race. In Mrs. Brock's Children's Hymn Book, 1881.
Several of these are popular hymns for children, and will no doubt gradually come into somewhat extensive use.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Come, Christian Youths and Maidens" in The Endeavor Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
