O perfect life of love!

Author: Henry Williams Baker, 1821-1877 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 87 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O perfect life of love! All, all, is finished now; all that he left his throne above to do for us below. 2 No work is left undone of all the Father willed; his toils, his sorrows, one by one, the scripture have fulfilled. 3 No pain that we can share but he has felt its smart; all forms of human grief and care have pierced that tender heart. 4 And on his thorn-crowned head and on his sinless soul, our sins in all their guilt were laid, that he might make us whole. 5 In perfect love he dies; for me he dies, for me: O all-atoning Sacrifice, I cling by faith to thee. 6 In every time of need, before the judgment-throne, thy works, O Lamb of God, I'll plead, thy merits, not my own. 7 Yet work, O Lord, in me as thou for me hast wrought; and let my love the answer be to grace thy love has brought.

Ludwig van Beethoven

1770 - 1827 Person Name: Beethoven Composer of "GORTON" in The Hymnal and Order of Service A giant in the history of music, Ludwig van Beethoven (b. Bonn, Germany, 1770; d. Vienna, Austria, 1827) progressed from early musical promise to worldwide, lasting fame. By the age of fourteen he was an accomplished viola and organ player, but he became famous primarily because of his compositions, including nine symphonies, eleven overtures, thirty piano sonatas, sixteen string quartets, the Mass in C, and the Missa Solemnis. He wrote no music for congregational use, but various arrangers adapted some of his musical themes as hymn tunes; the most famous of these is ODE TO JOY from the Ninth Symphony. Although it would appear that the great calamity of Beethoven's life was his loss of hearing, which turned to total deafness during the last decade of his life, he composed his greatest works during this period.

Joseph Barnby

1838 - 1896 Person Name: Sir J. Barnby Composer of "ST. ANDREW" in Hymns of Grace and Truth 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

William Henry Monk

1823 - 1889 Composer of "ABER" in The Cyber Hymnal William H. Monk (b. Brompton, London, England, 1823; d. London, 1889) is best known for his music editing of Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861, 1868; 1875, and 1889 editions). He also adapted music from plainsong and added accompaniments for Introits for Use Throughout the Year, a book issued with that famous hymnal. Beginning in his teenage years, Monk held a number of musical positions. He became choirmaster at King's College in London in 1847 and was organist and choirmaster at St. Matthias, Stoke Newington, from 1852 to 1889, where he was influenced by the Oxford Movement. At St. Matthias, Monk also began daily choral services with the choir leading the congregation in music chosen according to the church year, including psalms chanted to plainsong. He composed over fifty hymn tunes and edited The Scottish Hymnal (1872 edition) and Wordsworth's Hymns for the Holy Year (1862) as well as the periodical Parish Choir (1840-1851). Bert Polman
