Lord, As to Thy Dear Cross We Flee

Author: John Hampden Gurney Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #170 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee, And plead to be forgiv'n, So let Thy life our pattern be, And form our souls for heav'n. 2 Help us thro' good report or ill Our daily cross to bear, Like Thee to do our Father’s will, Our brother’s grief to share. 3 Let grace our selfishness expel, Our earthliness refine, And kindness in our being dwell As free and true as Thine. 4 If joy shall at Thy bidding fly, And grief’s dark day come on, We in our turn would meekly cry, "Father, Thy will be done." 5 Should friends misjudge, or foes defame, Or brethren faithless prove, Then, like Thine own, be all our aim To conquer them by love. 6 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife, Forgiving and forgiven, O may we lead the pilgrim’s life And follow Thee to heaven. Amen. Topics: Church Year Trinity Season; Lent, Second Sunday; Trinity, First Sunday; Cross-bearing; Sanctification Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE (SMART)

Henry Thomas Smart

1813 - 1879 Person Name: Henry Smart Composer of "EVENTIDE" in The Home and School Hymnal Henry Smart (b. Marylebone, London, England, 1813; d. Hampstead, London, 1879), a capable composer of church music who wrote some very fine hymn tunes (REGENT SQUARE, 354, is the best-known). Smart gave up a career in the legal profession for one in music. Although largely self taught, he became proficient in organ playing and composition, and he was a music teacher and critic. Organist in a number of London churches, including St. Luke's, Old Street (1844-1864), and St. Pancras (1864-1869), Smart was famous for his extemporizations and for his accompaniment of congregational singing. He became completely blind at the age of fifty-two, but his remarkable memory enabled him to continue playing the organ. Fascinated by organs as a youth, Smart designed organs for important places such as St. Andrew Hall in Glasgow and the Town Hall in Leeds. He composed an opera, oratorios, part-songs, some instrumental music, and many hymn tunes, as well as a large number of works for organ and choir. He edited the Choralebook (1858), the English Presbyterian Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (1867), and the Scottish Presbyterian Hymnal (1875). Some of his hymn tunes were first published in Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861). Bert Polman
