When Our Confidence Is Shaken
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Matching Instances: 9 Lyrics: 1 When our confidence is shaken in beliefs we thought secure,
when the spirit in its sickness seeks but cannot find a cure,
God is active in the tensions of a faith not yet mature.
2 Solar systems, void of meaning, freeze the spirit into stone;
always our researches lead us to the ultimate unknown.
Faith must die, or come full circle to its source in God alone.
3 In the discipline of praying, when it's hardest to believe;
in the drudgery of caring, when it's not enough to grieve;
faith, maturing, learns acceptance of the insights we receive.
4 God is love, and thus redeems us in the Christ we crucify;
this is God's eternal answer to the world's eternal why.
May we in this faith maturing be content to live and die! Topics: Sanctifiying and Perfecting Grace Prayer, Trust, Hope; Faith; Redemption Used With Tune: GRAFTON

Fred Pratt Green
1903 - 2000 Person Name: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Author of "When Our Confidence Is Shaken" in Worship and Rejoice The name of the Rev. F. Pratt Green is one of the best-known of the contemporary school of hymnwriters in the British Isles. His name and writings appear in practically every new hymnal and "hymn supplement" wherever English is spoken and sung. And now they are appearing in American hymnals, poetry magazines, and anthologies.
Mr. Green was born in Liverpool, England, in 1903. Ordained in the British Methodist ministry, he has been pastor and district superintendent in Brighton and York, and now served in Norwich. There he continued to write new hymns "that fill the gap between the hymns of the first part of this century and the 'far-out' compositions that have crowded into some churches in the last decade or more."

John Hughes
1873 - 1932 Person Name: John Hughes, 1873-1932 Composer of "CWM RHONDDA" in Worship and Rejoice John Hughes (b. Dowlais, Glamorganshire, Wales, 1873; d. Llantwit Fardre, Wales, 1932) received little formal education; at age twelve he was already working as a doorboy at a local mining company in Llantwit Fardre. He eventually became an official in the traffic department of the Great Western Railway. Much of his energy was devoted to the Salem Baptist Church in Pontypridd, where he served as both deacon and precentor. Hughes composed two anthems, a number of Sunday school marches, and a few hymn tunes, of which CWM RHONDDA is universally known, the tune was composed in 1905 Baptist Cymanfa Ganu (song festival) in Capel Rhondda, Pontypridd, Wales.
