There's A Fold Both Safe And Happy

Author: Mary A. Black Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8478 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: There’s a fold both safe and happy Lyrics: 1 There’s a fold both safe and happy, Where the little ones may dwell; And secure the Shepherd guards it, For the lambs He loves so well. Through the pleasant fields He leads them, By the streamlets fresh and clear; Rest and gladness gives He to them, And His blessèd voice they hear. 2 Many of His lambs are resting In a yet more peaceful fold, Sheltered from the heat of summer, Sheltered from the winter’s cold; In a bright and happy country, Where ’tis always fresh and fair, And the presence of the Shepherd Bideth ever with them there. 3 Of that fold the doors stand open, And its rest each one may win; For the welcome of the Master Greeteth all who enter in. Then will be the happy meetings With the lambs that went before; One blest fold and one dear Shepherd, Safe at home forevermore! Languages: English Tune Title: IN MEMORIAM

Arthur Sullivan

1842 - 1900 Person Name: Sir Arthur Sullivan Composer of "[There's a fold, both safe and happy]" in The Primary and Junior Hymnal Arthur Seymour Sullivan (b Lambeth, London. England. 1842; d. Westminster, London, 1900) was born of an Italian mother and an Irish father who was an army band­master and a professor of music. Sullivan entered the Chapel Royal as a chorister in 1854. He was elected as the first Mendelssohn scholar in 1856, when he began his studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He also studied at the Leipzig Conservatory (1858-1861) and in 1866 was appointed professor of composition at the Royal Academy of Music. Early in his career Sullivan composed oratorios and music for some Shakespeare plays. However, he is best known for writing the music for lyrics by William S. Gilbert, which produced popular operettas such as H.M.S. Pinafore (1878), The Pirates of Penzance (1879), The Mikado (1884), and Yeomen of the Guard (1888). These operettas satirized the court and everyday life in Victorian times. Although he com­posed some anthems, in the area of church music Sullivan is best remembered for his hymn tunes, written between 1867 and 1874 and published in The Hymnary (1872) and Church Hymns (1874), both of which he edited. He contributed hymns to A Hymnal Chiefly from The Book of Praise (1867) and to the Presbyterian collection Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (1867). A complete collection of his hymns and arrangements was published posthumously as Hymn Tunes by Arthur Sullivan (1902). Sullivan steadfastly refused to grant permission to those who wished to make hymn tunes from the popular melodies in his operettas. Bert Polman

Mary Manning

1855 - 1882 Author of "There's a fold, both safe and happy" in The Primary and Junior Hymnal Black, Mary Anne, née Manning, elder daughter of John Manning, J.P. of Nottingham, wash, at Nottingham, Oct. 10th, 1855, married to Mr. Arthur Black, Sept. 1879, and died Feb. 21, 1882. Before her marriage Mrs. Black wrote a number of hymns under the nom de plume of "May Manning" for the anniversaries of a village school in which she was interested. One of these, "There's a fold, both safe and happy" (Heaven), was written, shortly after the death of a sister, in 1878, and included in W. R. Stevenson's School Hymnal, 1880. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)
