God Loved the World

Author: Martha Matilda Stockton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1896 First Line: God loved the world of sinners lost Refrain First Line: O 'twas love, 'twas wondrous love Lyrics: 1. God loved the world of sinners lost, And ruined by the fall; Salvation full, at highest cost, He offers free to all. Refrain O ’twas love, ’twas wondrous love, The love of God to me; It brought my Savior from above, To die on Calvary! 2. E’en now by faith I claim Him mine, The risen Son of God; Redemption by His death I find, And cleansing through the blood. [Refrain] 3. Love brings the glorious fullness in, And to His saints makes known The blessèd rest from inbred sin, Through faith in Christ alone. [Refrain] 4. Believing souls, rejoicing go; There shall to you be giv’n A glorious foretaste, here below, Of endless life in Heav’n. [Refrain] 5. Of victory now o’er Satan’s power Let all the ransomed sing, And triumph in the dying hour Through Christ, the Lord, our King. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [God loved the world of sinners lost]

W. G. Fischer

1835 - 1912 Person Name: William Gustavus Fischer, 1835 - 1912 Composer of "WONDROUS LOVE" in The Hymnary of the United Church of Canada William Gustavus Fischer In his youth, William G. Fischer (b. Baltimore, MD, 1835; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1912) developed an interest in music while attending singing schools. His career included working in the book bindery of J. B. Lippencott Publishing Company, teaching music at Girard College, and co-owning a piano business and music store–all in Philadelphia. Fischer eventually became a popular director of music at revival meetings and choral festivals. In 1876 he conducted a thousand-voice choir at the Dwight L. Moody/Ira D. Sankey revival meeting in Philadelphia. Fischer composed some two hundred tunes for Sunday school hymns and gospel songs. Bert Polman

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "As Flows the River" in Select Songs No. 2 In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
