O holy city, seen of John

Author: Walter Russell Bowie, 1882-1969 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 88 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John, where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign, within whose four-square walls shall come no night, nor need, nor pain, and where the tears are wiped from eyes that shall not weep again. 2 O shame to us who rest content while lust and greed for gain in street and shop and tenement wring gold from human pain, and bitter lips in blind despair cry 'Christ hath died in vain!' 3 Give us, O God, the strength to build the city that hath stood too long a dream, whose laws are love, whose ways are brotherhood, and where the sun that shineth is God’s grace for human good. 4 Already in the mind of God that city riseth fair: lo, how its splendour challenges the souls that greatly dare; yea, bids us seize the whole of life and build its glory there.

The King Shall Come When Morning Dawns

Author: John Brownlie, 1859-1925 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 105 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The King shall come when morning dawns And light triumphant breaks, When beauty gilds the eastern hills And life to joy awakes. 2 Not, as of old, a little child, To bear, and fight, and die, But crowned with glory like the sun That lights the morning sky. 3 O brighter than the rising morn When he, victorious, rose And left the lonesome place of death, Despite the rage of foes. 4 O brighter than the glorious morn Shall this fair morning be, When Christ, our King, in beauty comes, And we his face shall see! 5 The King shall come when morning dawns And light and beauty brings. Hail, Christ, the Lord! Thy people pray: Come quickly, King of kings.

Immortal Love, Forever Full

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 324 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Immortal Love, forever full, Forever flowing free, Forever shared, forever whole, A never-ebbing sea! 2 We may not climb the heavenly steeps To bring the Lord Christ down; In vain we search the lowest deeps, For him no depths can drown: 3 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet A present help is he; And faith has still its Olivet, And love its Galilee.

Winfred Douglas

1867 - 1944 Person Name: C. Winfred Douglas Harmonizer of "MORNING SONG" in Worship in Song Charles Winfred Douglas (b. Oswego, NY, 1867; d. Santa Rosa, CA, 1944), an influential leader in Episcopalian liturgical and musical life. Educated at Syracuse University and St. Andrews Divinity School, Syracuse, New York, he moved to Colorado for his health. There he studied at St. Matthew's Hall, Denver, and founded the Mission of the Transfiguration in Evergreen (1897). Ordained a priest in the Episcopal Church in 1899, he also studied in France, Germany and England, where he spent time with the Benedictines of Solesmes on the Island of Wight from 1903 to 1906. For much of his life, Douglas served as director of music at the Community of St. Mary in Peekskill, New York, and had associations with cathedrals in Denver, Colorado, and Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. He promoted chanting and plainsong in the Episcopal Church through workshops and publications such as The American Psalter (1929), the Plainsong Psalter (1932), and the Monastic Diurnal (1932). His writings include program notes for the Denver Symphony Orchestra, various hymn preludes; organ, as well as the book, Church Music in History and Practice (1937). He was editor of both the Hymnal 1916 and its significant successor, Hymnal 1940, of the Episcopal Church. Douglas's other achievements include a thorough knowledge of the life and culture of Hopi and Navajo natives, among whom he lived for a number of years. Bert Polman

Charles H. Webb

b. 1933 Person Name: Charles H. Webb Harmonizer of "MORNING SONG" in The United Methodist Hymnal
Charles H. Webb

Anonymous

Composer of "MORNING SONG" in The Book of Praise 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.

Small Church Music

Editors: Geoffrey Anketel Studdert Kennedy Description: 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. Mobile App We have partnered with the developer of the popular NetTracks mobile app to offer the Small Church Music collection as a convenient mobile app. Experience the beloved Small Church Music collection through this iOS app featuring nearly 10,000 high-quality hymn recordings that can be organized into custom setlists and downloaded for offline use—ideal for worship services without musicians, congregational practice, and personal devotion. The app requires a small fee to cover maintenance costs. Please note: While Hymnary.org hosts this music collection, technical support for the app is provided exclusively by the app developer, not by Hymnary.org staff. LicensingCopyright notice: Rev. Clyde McLennan, performer in this collection, has assigned his performer rights in this collection to Hymnary.org. Non-commercial use of these recordings is permitted.
