O Let Him Whose Sorrow

Author: Heinrich Siegmund Oswald; Frances E. Cox Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5073 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Lyrics: 1. O let him whose sorrow no relief can find, Trust in God, and borrow ease for heart and mind. Where the mourner weeping sheds the secret tear, God His watch is keeping, though none else is near. 2. God will never leave thee, all thy wants He knows, Feels the pains that grieve thee, sees thy cares and woes; Raise thine eyes to Heaven when thy spirits quail, When, by tempests driven, heart and courage fail. 3. All thy woe and sadness, in this world below, Balance not the gladness thou in Heaven shalt know, When thy gracious Savior in the realms above Crowns thee with His favor, fills thee with His love. Languages: English Tune Title: MARY MAGDALENE (Dykes)

Frances Elizabeth Cox

1812 - 1897 Person Name: Frances E. Cox Translator of "O let him whose sorrow" in The Evangelical Hymnal Cox, Frances Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. George V. Cox, born at Oxford, is well known as a successful translator of hymns from the German. Her translations were published as Sacred Hymns from the German, London, Pickering. The 1st edition, pub. 1841, contained 49 translations printed with the original text, together with biographical notes on the German authors. In the 2nd edition, 1864, Hymns from the German, London, Rivingtons, the translations were increased to 56, those of 1841 being revised, and with additional notes. The 56 translations were composed of 27 from the 1st ed. (22 being omitted) and 29 which were new. The best known of her translations are "Jesus lives! no longer [thy terrors] now" ; and ”Who are these like stars appearing ?" A few other translations and original hymns have been contributed by Miss Cox to the magazines; but they have not been gathered together into a volume. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

John Bacchus Dykes

1823 - 1876 Composer of "MARY MAGDALENE (Dykes)" in The Cyber Hymnal As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern. Bert Polman

Spencer Lane

1843 - 1903 Composer of "PENITENCE" in The Evangelical Hymnal Spencer Lane USA 1843-1903. Born at Tilton, NH, he served in the 8th NH Infantry during the American Civil War. After the war, he studied at the New England Conservatory and taught vocal and instrumental music at Oneida and Utica, NY. He married Isabel F. (no information on children was found). He later moved to Woonsocket, RI, where he ran a music store and served as organist and directed the choir for the St. James Episcopal Church for 13 years. He moved to Monson, MA, then to Richmond, VA, and in 1896 to Baltimore, MD. In Baltimore he worked for the music firm of Sanders & Stayman and was music director at the All Saints Protestant Episcopal Church. While at Woonsocket, his pastor gave him the hymns for an evening service, one of whose tune he didn’t care for, so he composed another tune for it, ‘Penitence’. That is his only hymn contribution. He was an author and music composer: “My beloved, I’ll think of thee”, “A dream – grand march”, others. He died at Reedville, VA. John Perry
