Now in the Days of Youth

Author: Walter J. Mathams Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 71 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now in the days of youth, When life flows fresh and free, Thou Lord of all our hearts and lives, We give ourselves to Thee; Our fervent gift receive, And fit us to fulfill, Through all our days, in all our ways, Our Heavenly Father's will. 2 Teach us, where'er we live, To act as in Thy sight, And do what Thou wouldst have us do With radiant delight; Not choosing what is great, Nor spurning what is small, But take as from Thy hands our tasks, And glorify them all. 3 Teach us to love the true, The beautiful and pure, And let us not for one short hour An evil thought endure. But give us grace to stand Decided, brave and strong, The lovers of all holy things, The foes of all things wrong. 4 Spirit of Christ, do Thou Our first bright days inspire That we may live the life of love And loftiest desire; And be by Thee prepared For larger years to come, And for the life ineffable Within the Father's home. Amen. Topics: Commitment; Discipleship; Service; Stewardship; Youth, Hymns for; Church, The Youth, Hymns for Scripture: Psalm 100:2 Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

George J. Elvey

1816 - 1893 Person Name: George J. Elvey, 1816-1893 Composer of "DIADEMATA" in Pilgrim Hymnal George Job Elvey (b. Canterbury, England, 1816; d. Windlesham, Surrey, England, 1893) As a young boy, Elvey was a chorister in Canterbury Cathedral. Living and studying with his brother Stephen, he was educated at Oxford and at the Royal Academy of Music. At age nineteen Elvey became organist and master of the boys' choir at St. George Chapel, Windsor, where he remained until his retirement in 1882. He was frequently called upon to provide music for royal ceremonies such as Princess Louise's wedding in 1871 (after which he was knighted). Elvey also composed hymn tunes, anthems, oratorios, and service music. Bert Polman

Joseph Barnby

1838 - 1896 Person Name: Joseph Barnby, (1838-1896) Composer of "DIADEMATA, No. 2" in The School Hymnal 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
