Author: J. W. Chadwick Hymnal: Northfield Hymnal No. 2 #181 (1916) Lyrics: 1 It singeth low in every heart, We hear it each and all; A song of those who answer not, However we may call. 2 They throng the silence of the breast; We see them as of yore, The kind, the true, the brave, the sweet, Who walk with us no more. 3 ’Tis hard to take the burden up, When these have laid it down; They brightened all the joy of life, They softened every frown. 4 But, O ’tis good to think of them When we are troubled sore; Thanks be to God that such have been, Though they are here no more! 5 More homelike seems the vast unknown Since they have entered there; To follow them were not so hard, Wherever they may fare. 6 They cannot be where God is not, On any sea or shore; Whate’er betides, Thy love abides, Our God, for evermore.

Joseph Barnby

1838 - 1896 Person Name: Joseph Barnby (1838- ) Composer of "PARADISE" in Hymnal Amore Dei Joseph Barnby (b. York, England, 1838; d. London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barnby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873). Bert Polman
