Be merciful to us, dear God
Author: Tom Colvin Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Be merciful to us, dear God Lyrics: 1 Be merciful to us, dear God,
when we are under fierce attack,
we fear that we'll be overcome,
unless you grant the strength we lack.
2 You see how troubled we have been,
you keep a record of each tear.
But we believe that you, dear God,
can make the darkest future clear.
3 Though foes may persecute us here,
mere human kind we should not fear.
For you guard us with loving care
and keep your promise to be near.

the God whose promises we praise.

for you'll protect us all our days. Topics: Solidarity in Suffering Scripture: Psalm 56 Used With Tune: OLD 100th

Should we accept that evil means
Author: Tom Colvin Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Should we accept that evil means
will evil powers deter?
Should we believe the howls of hate
that cloud our lives with fear?
2 Enfold us in your love, Yesu,
and we shall be secure,
for we shall love our foes as friends
and fear shall be no more.
3 Your perfect love, which drives out fear
will all our lives control;
in every deed and word we shall
fulfill our servant-role.
4 To live by love shall be our aim;
peace shall be ours to share.
Our openness, our joy, our faith
will show whose friends we are.
5 Love is the Way among us here
through Christ the source of Peace.
Let reconciling love in us
now cause the wars to cease.

Louis Bourgeois
1510 - 1561 Hymnal Number: 19 Composer (attributed to) of "OLD 100th" in Come, Let Us Walk This Road Together Louis Bourgeois (b. Paris, France, c. 1510; d. Paris, 1561). In both his early and later years Bourgeois wrote French songs to entertain the rich, but in the history of church music he is known especially for his contribution to the Genevan Psalter. Apparently moving to Geneva in 1541, the same year John Calvin returned to Geneva from Strasbourg, Bourgeois served as cantor and master of the choristers at both St. Pierre and St. Gervais, which is to say he was music director there under the pastoral leadership of Calvin. Bourgeois used the choristers to teach the new psalm tunes to the congregation.
The extent of Bourgeois's involvement in the Genevan Psalter is a matter of scholarly debate. Calvin had published several partial psalters, including one in Strasbourg in 1539 and another in Geneva in 1542, with melodies by unknown composers. In 1551 another French psalter appeared in Geneva, Eighty-three Psalms of David, with texts by Marot and de Beze, and with most of the melodies by Bourgeois, who supplied thirty four original tunes and thirty-six revisions of older tunes. This edition was republished repeatedly, and later Bourgeois's tunes were incorporated into the complete Genevan Psalter (1562). However, his revision of some older tunes was not uniformly appreciated by those who were familiar with the original versions; he was actually imprisoned overnight for some of his musical arrangements but freed after Calvin's intervention. In addition to his contribution to the 1551 Psalter, Bourgeois produced a four-part harmonization of fifty psalms, published in Lyons (1547, enlarged 1554), and wrote a textbook on singing and sight-reading, La Droit Chemin de Musique (1550). He left Geneva in 1552 and lived in Lyons and Paris for the remainder of his life.

Hugh Wilson
1766 - 1824 Hymnal Number: 39 Composer (attributed to) of "MARTYRDOM" in Come, Let Us Walk This Road Together Hugh Wilson (b. Fenwick, Ayrshire, Scotland, c. 1766; d. Duntocher, Scotland, 1824) learned the shoemaker trade from his father. He also studied music and mathematics and became proficient enough in various subjects to become a part-time teacher to the villagers. Around 1800, he moved to Pollokshaws to work in the cotton mills and later moved to Duntocher, where he became a draftsman in the local mill. He also made sundials and composed hymn tunes as a hobby. Wilson was a member of the Secession Church, which had separated from the Church of Scotland. He served as a manager and precentor in the church in Duntocher and helped found its first Sunday school. It is thought that he composed and adapted a number of psalm tunes, but only two have survived because he gave instructions shortly before his death that all his music manuscripts were to be destroyed.
