Earth thou dost visit, watering it

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 9 Earth thou dost visit, watering it; thou mak’st it rich to grow with God’s full flood; thou corn provid’st, when thou prepar'st it so. 10 Its ridges thou dost water well, its furrows down dost press; thou mak'st it soft with plenteous rain, its spring thou dost bless. 11 So thou the year most liberally dost with thy goodness crown; and all thy paths abundantly on us drop fatness down. 12 They drop upon the pastures wide, that in the desert lie; the little hills on every side rejoice right pleasantly. 13 With flocks the pastures clothed be, the vales with corn are clad; and now they shout and sing to thee, for thou hast made them glad.

Thomas Tallis

1505 - 1585 Person Name: Thomas Tallis, c. 1505-1585 Composer of "TALLIS'S ORDINAL" in The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook Thomas Tallis (b. Leicestershire [?], England, c. 1505; d. Greenwich, Kent, England 1585) was one of the few Tudor musicians who served during the reigns of Henry VIII: Edward VI, Mary, and Elizabeth I and managed to remain in the good favor of both Catholic and Protestant monarchs. He was court organist and composer from 1543 until his death, composing music for Roman Catholic masses and Anglican liturgies (depending on the monarch). With William Byrd, Tallis also enjoyed a long-term monopoly on music printing. Prior to his court connections Tallis had served at Waltham Abbey and Canterbury Cathedral. He composed mostly church music, including Latin motets, English anthems, settings of the liturgy, magnificats, and two sets of lamentations. His most extensive contrapuntal work was the choral composition, "Spem in alium," a work in forty parts for eight five-voice choirs. He also provided nine modal psalm tunes for Matthew Parker's Psalter (c. 1561). Bert Polman
