Hold thou full sway; have in our inmost souls thy perfect way; guard thou each sacred hour from selfish ease; guide thou our ordered lives as thou dost please. 4 Take thou ourselves, O Lord, heart, mind, and will; through our surrendered souls thy plans fulfill.

Jane Euphemia Saxby

1811 - 1898 Author of "Show me the way, O Lord" in Worship Song Saxby, Jane Euphemia, née Browne, daughter of William Browne of Tallantire Hall, Cumberland, and sister of Lady Teignmouth, was born Jan. 27, 1811, and married, in 1862, to the Rev. S. H. Saxby, Vicar of East Clevedon, Somersetshire. Her work, The Dove on the Cross, was published in 1849. It has passed into numerous editions, and from it several hymns have come into common use. This was followed by The Voice of the Bird, in 1875; and Aunt Effie’s Gift to the Nursery, 1876. Sometimes Mrs. Saxby's Dove on the Cross is dated 1819, but in error. The compilation known as Hymns and Thoughts for the Sick and Lonely, by a Lady, London, J Nisbet & Co., 1848, although it contains several of her hymns in an altered form, is ascribed to her in error. Mrs. Saxby's hymns in common use include: 1. Father, into Thy loving hands. Resignation. 2. O Jesus Christ, the holy One. Holy Communion. 3. O Holy Ghost, the Comforter. Whitsuntide. 4. Shew me the way, O Lord. Guidance desired. 5. Thou art with me, O my Father. God everywhere. 6. Thou God of love, beneath Thy sheltering wings. Burial. Of these hymns, Nos. 1, 3, 4, and 6, appeared in her Dove on the Cross, 1849. No. 2 appeared in the English Presbyterian Psalms & Hymns for Divine Worship, 1867, No. 840, in 5 stanzas of 4 lines. It was supplied to Dr. W. F. Stevenson in manuscript in 6 stanzas for his Hymns for the Church and Home, 1873. The additional stanza (the 4th) given in his Notes is:— As Thou hast placed beyond my reach Thy richest means of grace, Teach me without them, Saviour, teach My soul to see Thy face." The point and meaning of this stanza is explained by the fact that this hymn "was written for one who by illness was prevented joining in the Communion." The hymn was included in The Voice of the Bird, 1875. Mrs. Saxby's hymns are very plaintive and tender. This is explained by her thus:— "I wrote most of my published hymns during a very long and distressing illness, which lasted many years. I thought probably that I was then in the 'Border Land’ and wrote accordingly." Died Mar. 25, 1898. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

Whilst a student, he published a small volume of hymns and poems as At Jesus' Feet, (1876). He is also the author of several religious books of a popular character, as: Fireside Parables, 1879; Sunday Parables, 1883, &c. His principal hymns are:— 1. Bright falls the morning light. Morning. 2. Gentle Jesus, full of grace. Learning of Christ. 3. Go, work for God, and do not say. Christian Work. 4. God loves the little sparrows. Divine Providence. 5.

Consecration. 9. Sailing on the ocean. Life a Voyage. Nos. 1 and 6 of these hymns first appeared in his At Jesus’ Feet, 1876. Mr. Mathams has written several other hymns which have appeared in magazines and elsewhere. One of these, "Good has come from Nazareth," has been set to music by Dr. E. J. Hopkins. The 9 hymns named above are mainly in Baptist hymnbooks. [Rev. W. R. Stevenson, M.A.] -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ============== Mathams, W. J. , p. 718, ii. Mr. Mathams entered the ministry of the Established Church of Scotland in 1900, acted for two years as chaplain to the Scottish forces in Egypt, and is now (1906) minister in charge of the parish of Stronsay, Orkney. His recent hymns include:— 1. Captain and Comrade of us all. [For Soldiers and Sailors.] Written and printed for use at a service held at Gourock Parish Church, April 10, 1904, on behalf of the Queen Victoria Memorial School for sons of Scottish sailors and soldiers. 2. From heights where God is reigning. [Boys' Brigade.] Written, 1905, for the S. S. Hymnary, 1905. 3. God is with us, God is with us. [Christian Warfare.] Written by request of the Nat.

[The Rose of Sharon.] Contributed to the Christian Endeavour Hymnal, 1896. We may add that of the hymns noted at p. 718, ii., Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9 were contributed to the Baptist Psalms and Hymns for School and Home, 1882, and that No. 7, first printed as a leaflet in 1878, is in the Suppl. of 1880 to the Baptist Psalms and Hymns. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)

Charles Edward Mudie

1818 - 1890 Person Name: C. E. Mudie Author of "I Lift My Heart to Thee" in The New Christian Hymnal Mudie, Charles Edward, the founder of the well-known library which bears his name, was born at Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, Oct. 18, 1818. In 1872 he collected his poems and published them as Stray Leaves (2nd ed., 1873). Several poems on Scriptural subjects, and a few hymns are included in the volume. The hymn by which he is best known is "I lift my heart to Thee, Saviour divine" (His and Mine). It is from the Stray Leaves, and is in several hymnbooks, including the Scottish Evangelical Union Hymnal, 1878; Horder's Congregational Hymns, 1884, and many others. It is marked by great beauty and tenderness of expression. Several of Mr. Mudie's hymns, which are not in common use are worthy of attention. [Rev. W.

Small Church Music

Editors: Charles Edward Mudie 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.
