From All the Wind's Wide Quarters

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (1926-) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From all the wind's wide quarters come, see the feast is spread, of soul-sustaining waters, of true and living bread; of sorrows long-departed, and joys beyond compare -- come, poor and humble-hearted, the feast of life to share! 2 With mercy all-prevailing God bids the wanderer come; in grace and peace unfailing invites the children home. With loving-kindness tender, God frees us from our sins -- in glory and in splendour the feast of life begins! 3 Come, claim the promise spoken! God's purpose stands secure. The fruitful word unbroken shall evermore endure. All ancient bondage ended to sin's corrupting powers -- forgiven, freed, befriended, the feast of life is ours!

He has occupied a number of church positions, including parish priest in the diocese of Southwark (1953-1962), archdeacon of Norwich (1973-1981), and bishop of Thetford, Norfolk, from 1981 until his retirement in 1992.

George Ratcliffe Woodward

1848 - 1934 Person Name: George Ratcliffe Woodward (1848-1934) Harmonizer of "ES FLOG EIN KLEINS WALDVÖGELEIN" in Common Praise (1998) Educated at Caius College in Cambridge, England, George R. Woodward (b. Birkenhead, Cheshire, England, 1848; d. Highgate, London, England, 1934) was ordained in the Church of England in 1874. He served in six parishes in London, Norfolk, and Suffolk. He was a gifted linguist and translator of a large number of hymns from Greek, Latin, and German. But Woodward's theory of translation was a rigid one–he held that the translation ought to reproduce the meter and rhyme scheme of the original as well as its contents. This practice did not always produce singable hymns; his translations are therefore used more often today as valuable resources than as congregational hymns. With Charles Wood he published three series of The Cowley Carol Book (1901, 1902, 1919), two editions of Songs of Syon (1904, 1910), An Italian Carol Book (1920), and the Cambridge Carol Book
