Author: F. E. Belden Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #41 (1886) Lyrics: 1 God of light and matchless splendor,
Feeble though the praise we bring,
Let thy Spirit touch and tender
Every heart as now we sing.
2 Heaven above cannot contain thee;
At thy presence earth would flee;
And though every sin doth pain thee,
Still thy mercy spareth me!
3 Grateful praise my tongue shall offer,
'Neath thy smile or 'neath thy rod;
Take the humble gift I proffer,
Heart and mind, and strength, O God!
4 Living only to thy glory,
From all selfish motives free,
So shall I proclaim the story
Of the One who died for me. Topics: Worship Praise and Reverence of God Tune Title: RATHBUN

F. E. Belden
1858 - 1945 Author of "God of light and matchless splendor" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book Belden was born in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1858. He began writing music in his late teenage years after moving to California with his family. For health reasons he later moved to Colorado. He returned to Battle Creek with his wife in the early 1880s, and there he became involved in Adventist Church publishing. F. E. Belden wrote many hymn tunes, gospel songs, and related texts in the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Belden was able to rapidly write both music and poetry together which enabled him to write a song to fit a sermon while it was still being delivered. He also wrote songs for evangelist Billy Sunday. Though Belden’s later years were marred by misunderstandings with the church leadership over his royalties, he did donate his papers and manuscripts to the church’s seminary at his death. He died on December 2, 1945 in Battle Creek, Michigan.
