Richard Mant
1776 - 1848 Author of "Round the Lord in glory seated" in Immanuel Hymnal Mant, Richard D.D., son of the Rev. Richard Mant, Master of the Grammar School, Southampton, was born at Southampton, Feb. 12, 1776. He was educated at Winchester and Trinity, Oxford (B.A. 1797, M.A., 1799). At Oxford he won the Chancellor's prize for an English essay: was a Fellow of Oriel, and for some time College Tutor. On taking Holy Orders he was successively curate to his father, then of one or two other places, Vicar of Coggeshall, Essex, 1810; Domestic Chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury, 1813, Rector of St. Botolph, Bishopsgate, London. 1816, and East Horsley, 1818, Bishop of Killaloe, 1820, of Down and Connor, 1823, and of Dromore, 1842. He was also Bampton Lecturer in 1811. He died Nov. 2, 1848. His prose works were numerous, and although now somewhat obsolete, they were useful and popular in their day. His poetical works, and other works which contain poetical pieces, are:—
(1) The Country Curate, 1804; (2) Poems in three Parts, 1806; (3) The Slave, 1807; (4) The Book of Psalms in an English Metrical Version, &c, 1824; (5) The Holydays of the Church; or Scripture Narratives of Our Blessed Lord's Life and Ministry, and Biographical Notices of the Apostles, Evangelists, and Other Saints, with Reflections, Collects, and Metrical Sketches, vol. i., 1828; vol. ii., 1831; (6) The Gospel Miracles in a series of Poetical Sketches, &c., 1832; (7) The British Months, 2 vols., 1836; (8) Ancient Hymns from the Roman Breviary, for Domestick Use. . . .To which are added Original Hymns, principally of Commemoration and Thanksgiving for Christ's Holy Ordinances, 1837: new ed., 1871. (9) The Happiness of the Blessed Dead, 1847.
Bishop Mant is known chiefly through his translations from the Latin. He was one of the earliest of the later translators, I. Williams and J. Chandler being his contemporaries. Concerning his translations, Mr. Ellerton, in his Notes on Church Hymns, 1881, p. xlviii. (folio ed.), says justly that:—
"Mant had little knowledge of hymns, and merely took those of the existing Roman Breviary as he found them: consequently he had to omit many, and so to alter others that they have in fact become different hymns: nor was he always happy in his manipulation of them. But his book has much good taste and devout feeling, and has fallen into undeserved neglect."
His metrical version of the Psalms has yielded very few pieces to the hymnals, the larger portion of his original compositions being from his work of 1837. The most popular of these is "Come Holy Ghost, my soul inspire, Spirit of," &c, and its altered forms; "Bright the vision that delighted," and its altered form of "Round the Lord in glory seated;" and "For all Thy saints, O Lord." His hymns in common use which are not annotated under their respective first lines are:—
i. From his Metrical Version of the Psalms, 1824.
1. God, my King, Thy might confessing. Ps. cxlv.
2. Lord, to Thee I make my vows. Ps. xxvii.
3. Blessed be the Lord most High. Ps. xxviii. Pt. ii.
4. My trust is in the highest Name. Ps. xi.
5. Reign, Jehovah, King supreme. Ps. xcix.
6. Thy listening ear, O Lord, incline. Ps. Ixxxvi.
7. To God my earnest voice I raise. Ps. cxlii.
8. To Jehovah hymn the lay. Ps. cxviii. Two centos in Spurgeon's Our Own Hymn Book, 1866. (1) st. i., ii., v.; and (2) "Thee, Jehovah, will I bless" from st. vii.-x.
ii. From his Holydays of the Church, &c, 1828-31.
9. Lo, the day the Lord hath made. Easter.
10. There is a dwelling place above. All Saints.
iii. From his Ancient Hymns, &c, 1837.
11. Before Thy mercy's throne. Lent.
12. Father of all, from Whom we trace. Unity.
13. For these who first proclaimed Thy word. Apostles.
14. No! when He bids me seek His face. Holy Communion.
15. Oft as in God's own house we sit. Divine Worship.
16. Put off thy shoes, 'tis holy ground. The House of God .
17. Saviour of men, our Hope [Life] and Rest. The Greater Festivals.
18. Thy House each day of hallowed rest. Holy Communion.
19. We bless Thee for Thy Church, 0 Lord. Thanksgiving for the Church.
26. We deem and own it, Lord, a proof. Divine Grace.
When all Bishop Mant's translations of original hymns, and versions of the Psalms in common use are taken into account, it is found that he is somewhat strongly represented in modern hymnody.

Mrs. Barbauld
1743 - 1825 Person Name: Anna L. Barbauld Author of "Praise to God, immortal praise" in The Morning Hour Barbauld, Anna Laetitia, née Aikin, daughter of the Rev. John Ailrin, D.D., a dissenting minister, was b. at Kibworth-Harcourt, Leicestershire, June 20, 1743. In 1753 Dr. Aikin became classical tutor at a dissenting academy at Warrington. During her residence there she contributed five hymns to Dr. W. Enfield's Hymns for Public Worship, &c, Warrington, 1772. In the following year these were included in her Poems, Lond., J. Johnson, 1773. In May, 1774, Miss Aikin was married to the Rev. Rochemont Barbauld, a descendant of a French Protestant family, and a dissenting minister. For some years Mr. Barbauld conducted, in addition to his pastoral work, a boarding school at Palgrave, Suffolk. From this he retired in 1785. In 1786 he undertook the charge of a small congregation at Hampstead, and from thence he passed to the dissenting chapel (formerly Dr. Price's) at Newington Green, in 1802. He d. Nov. 11, 1808.

In the latter part of the same year her niece published The Works of Anna Laetitia Barbauld, with Memoir, by Lucy Aikin, 2 vols., Lond., Longman, 1825. As a writer of hymns Mrs. Barbauld was eminently successful. Their use, however, with the exception of five contributed to Dr. W. Enfield's collection, is almost exclusively confined to the Unitarian hymnals of Great Britain and America. Including these hymnals, the whole of her hymns are still in common use. These hymns appeared thus:—

1. Again the Lord of life and light. Easter.
2. Awake, my soul, lift up thine eyes. Conflict.
3. Behold, where breathing love divine. Christian Charity.

5. This earthly globe, the creature of a day.
6. Praise to God, Immortal praise. Harvest.
ii. Poems, 1773 (Preface dated Dec. 1, 1772). The whole of the above, and also:—
7. God of my life and author of my days. To God the Father. This is an “Address to the Deity," in 80 1. It is given in Martineau's Collection, 1840 and 1873. From it the following centos were given in Collyer's Selection> 1812:—
8. God, our kind Master, merciful as just.
9. If friendless in the vale of tears I stray.
iii. Poems revised 1792.
10. Come, said [says] Jesus' sacred voice. Invitation.
11. How blest the sacred tie that binds. Christian Fellowship.
12. Lo where a crowd of pilgrims toil. Pilgrimage of Life. From this is taken:—
13. Our country is Immanuel's ground [land].
iv. Leisure Hour Improved (Ironbridge), 1809.
14. Sweet is the scene when virtue dies. Death.
v. Supplement to the Unitarian Coll. of Kippis, Bees, and others, 1807.

In vol. i. most of the above are reprinted, and the following are added :—
18. Joy to the followers of the Lord. Joy. (c. 1820.)
19. Pure spirit, O where art thou now. Bereavement. This is dated 1808.
20. Salt of the earth, ye virtuous few. Salt of the Earth.
21. When life as opening buds is sweet. Death. This is dated " November, 1814."
The more important of these hymns are annotated in this Dictionary under their first lines. Mrs. Barbauld's Hymns in Prose for Children, originally published in 1781, were long popular and have been translated into French, Italian, Spanish, and other languages.

Joseph Haydn
1732 - 1809 Person Name: Haydn Composer of "[Let us with a joyful mind]" in The Christian Church Hymnal Franz Joseph Haydn (b. Rohrau, Austria, 1732; d. Vienna, Austria, 1809) Haydn's life was relatively uneventful, but his artistic legacy was truly astounding. He began his musical career as a choirboy in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, spent some years in that city making a precarious living as a music teacher and composer, and then served as music director for the Esterhazy family from 1761 to 1790. Haydn became a most productive and widely respected composer of symphonies, chamber music, and piano sonatas. In his retirement years he took two extended tours to England, which resulted in his "London" symphonies and (because of G. F. Handel's influence) in oratorios. Haydn's church music includes six great Masses and a few original hymn tunes. Hymnal editors have also arranged hymn tunes from various themes in Haydn's music.
