William Henry Monk

1823 - 1889 Person Name: W. H. Monk Composer of "ADSIS JESU" in The Church Hymnary 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

W. Pennefather

1816 - 1873 Person Name: William Pennefather, 1816-73 Author of "Jesus, stand among us" in The Church Hymnary (3rd Ed.) Pennefather, William, B.A., son of Richard Pennefather, Baron of the Irish Court of Exchequer, was born in Merrion Square, Dublin, Feb. 5, 1816. He resided for a time for educational purposes at Wesbury College, near Bristol, and then at Levans Parsonage, near Kendal, Westmoreland. He entered Trinity College, Dublin, in Feb. 1832, and graduated B.A. in 1840. Taking Holy Orders in 1841, he became curate of Ballymacugh, diocese of Kilmore. In July, 1844, he was preferred to the Vicarage of Mellifont, near Drogheda. In 1848 he removed to England, where he held successively the Incumbency of Trinity Church, Walton, Aylesbury, 1848; of Christ Church, Barnet, 1852; and of St. Jude's, Mildmay Park, 1864. He died April 30, 1873. His great work at Barnet and at Mildmay—-the Conferences began at the former and continued at the latter place-—the large religious and charitable organizations which he instituted and superintended, are matters of history. Full details are given of the rise and progress of these and his other works in his Life and Letters, 1878. His hymns were written mainly for the Barnet and Mildmay "Conferences," and were published sometimes as leaflets, and again, as for the Conference of 1872, as Hymns Original and Selected, By W. P. In this pamphlet there are 25 of his compositions. In the latter part of 1873 his Original Hymns and Thoughts in Verse were published posthumously. This work contains 71 pieces, but few of which are dated. Of these the following are given in a few hymn-books:— 1. And may I really tread. Divine Worship. 2. Help us, 0 Lord, to praise! Praise. 3. How shall we praise Thy name. Christian Communion. From this “0 for ten thousand harps," is taken. 4. Jesus, in Thy blest name. Church Conferences. 5. Jesus, stand among us. Divine Worship. 6. My blessed Jesus, Thou hast taught. Self Consecration. 7. 0 God of glorious majesty. For Retreats or Quiet Days. 8. 0 haste Thy coming kingdom. The Second Advent desired. 9. 0 holy, holy Father. Divine Worship. 10. 0 Lord, with one accord. Divine Worship. 11. 0 Saviour! we adore Thee. Jesus the Faithful One. 12. Once more with chastened joy. Divine Worship. 13. Praise God, ye seraphs bright. Praise. 14. Thousands and thousands stand. Communion of Saints. 15. Yon shining shore is nearer. Heaven Anticipated. Mr. Pennefather's hymns possess much beauty and earnest simplicity; are rich in evangelical sentiment and doctrine; and are much more musical than is usual with lyrics of their class -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
