My Soul and Spirit fill'd with Joy

Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My Soul and Spirit fill'd with Joy, my God and Saviour praise; Whose Goodness did from poor Estate his humble Hand-maid raise. 2 Me blest of God, the God of Pow'r, all Ages shall confess, Whose Name is holy, and whose Love his Saints shall ever bless. 3 The proud, and all their vain Designs, He quickly did confound: He cast the Mighty from their Seat, the meek and humble crown'd. 4 The hungry with good Things are fill'd, the rich with Hunger pin'd: He sent his Servant isr'el help, and call'd his Love to mind; 5 Which to our Fathers heretofore, by Oath He did ensure; To Abr'am and his chosen Seed, for ever to endure; Scripture: Luke 1:46-55

Nahum Tate

1652 - 1715 Person Name: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715 Author of "My soul and spirit filled with joy" in A Collection of Hymns for Public and Private Worship approved by the Presbytery of Charleston Nahum Tate was born in Dublin and graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1672. He lacked great talent but wrote much for the stage, adapting other men's work, really successful only in a version of King Lear. Although he collaborated with Dryden on several occasions, he was never fully in step with the intellectual life of his times, and spent most of his life in a futile pursuit of popular favor. Nonetheless, he was appointed poet laureate in 1692 and royal historiographer in 1702. He is now known only for the New Version of the Psalms of David, 1696, which he produced in collaboration with Nicholas Brady. Poverty stricken throughout much of his life, he died in the Mint at Southwark, where he had taken refuge from his creditors, on August 12, 1715. --The Hymnal 1940 Companion See also in: Hymn Writers of the Church
