William Tidd Matson
1833 - 1899 Person Name: William T. Matson, 1833-1899 Author of "Lord, I Was Blind: I Could Not See" in Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) Matson, William Tidd, was born at West Hackney, London, Oct. 17, 1833. He was educated first under the Rev. J. M. Gould, and then at St. John's College, Cambridge. Subsequently he studied under Professor Nesbitt, at the Agricultural and Chemical College, Kennington. In 1853 he underwent a great spiritual change. Leaving the Church of England, he first joined the Methodist New Connexion body, and then the Congregationalists. After the usual theological training, he entered the ministry, and held several pastorates, including Havant, Hants; Gosport; Highbury; Portsmouth, and others. His poetical works include:—
(1) A Summer Evening Reverie, and Other Poems, 1857; (2) Poems, 1858; (3) Pleasures of the Sanctuary, 1865; (4) The Inner Life, 1866; (5) Sacred Lyrics, 1870; (6) Three Supplemental Hymns, &c, 1872; (7) The World Redeemed, 1881, &c.
Several of Matson's hymns have been given in Allon's Supplemental Hymns; Horder's Congregational Hymns; The Baptist Hymnal; Dale's English Hymn Book.; Barrett's Congregational Church Hymnal, 1887, and others. The best known are:—
1. Father, of all, Whose wondrous power. Prayer to the Holy Trinity.
2. Glory, glory to God in the highest. Christmas.
3. God is in His temple. Divine Worship.
4. I'm but a little child. A Child's Prayer.
5. In whom shall I find comfort? God, the Source of Comfort.
6. Lord, I was blind, I could not see. Christ, the Life of Men.
7. O blessed Life, the heart at rest. Christ the Life of Men.
8. Teach me, O Lord, Thy holy way. Divine Guidance desired.
Mr Matson's hymns show a considerable mastery of the forms of hymnic expression, but are somewhat lacking in lyric energy. Those written for use with German chorales are excellent efforts, and rank with his best work. Taken as a whole his hymns are far above the average, and deserve wide acknowledgment. [Rev. W. Garrett Horder]

Matson, W. T, p. 719, ii. His "Glory to God in the highest, Shall be our song to-day" (Christmas) is in the Scottish Hymnal, 1884.

Matson, W. T. , p. 719, ii. He died in 1899. The hymn, "Glory to God in the highest, shall be our song to-day," p. 1591, i., is given to Mr. Matson in error. It is found in W. B. Bradbury's Golden Censer, 1864, p. 116, without authorship, and again in P. Phillips's Singing Pilgrim, 1866, p. 79, as by Mrs. E. H. Gates. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]

History
The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset
of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano
with organ versions.
About the Recordings All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs.
