There Is a Land of Pure Delight

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,402 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. There everlasting spring abides, And never-withering flowers; Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 2 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o'er, Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood, Should fright us from the shore.

I Feel the Winds of God Today

Author: Jessie Adams Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I feel the winds of God today; Today my sail I lift, Though heavy, oft with drenching spray, And torn with many a rift; If hope but light the water’s crest, And Christ my bark will use, I’ll seek the seas at His behest, And brave another cruise. 2 It is the wind of God that dries My vain, regretful tears, Until with braver thoughts shall rise The purer, brighter years; If cast on shores of selfish ease Or pleasure I should be, Lord, let me feel Thy freshening breeze, And I’ll put back to sea. 3 If ever I forget Thy love And how that love was shown, Lift high the blood red flag above; It bears Thy name alone. Great Pilot of my onward way, Thou wilt not let me drift; I feel the winds of Go Amen.

Du kyrka på den grundval byggd

Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #S64 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Du kyrka på den grundval byggd, Som evigt skall stå fast, Du varit fädrens värn och skygd, Du står om allting brast! Min frjöjd och krona är du nu Och på den hörnesten, Som heter Jesus, hvilar du Så trygg, så säll, så ren. 2 På denna klippa stormars hot Och lärdomsvindars brus Och egna tyckens stolta knot Ej skaka kyrkans hus; Det klippfast står i väl och ve Uti bekännelsen Uppbyggdt af stenar lefvande, Af hvilka jag är en. 4 Det min, det Luthers kyrka är Apostlarnas också. Profeters ljus klart lyser här Och lUar mig att förstå Det tal om blodet, som rengör Och genom himlens port mig för, Som var med lagen stängd. 5 Ja, du min kyrka lär vet, Att Jesus Vägen är Och Sanning, Lif, Rättfärdighet – Du klartmig äfven lär, Att Jesus dog på korsets stam För mina synders skull, Och för det offer Han bar fram Är Gud mig evigt huld. 6 Och för din tro martyrers blod I strömmar fordom flöt, Ack, hjalp mig, Gud, med gladligt mod Bli stilla i ditt sköt', Om ock med blod det tarfvas än Af Jesu klena hjord Att vittna för bekännelsen Om Kristus och Hans ord. 7 Min kyrka med din tro, ditt namn Mig vare evigt kär! Ack, slut mig st¨ndigt i din famn Och jämt mig vandra lär Uppå min gode Herdes stig! Mitt löfte, bön, begär Är att ej skiljas ifrån dig – Där Gud mig nåd beskär.

W. G. Fischer

1835 - 1912 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Composer of "WONDROUS LOVE" in Redemption Songs 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

Oliver Holden

1765 - 1844 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Composer of "CORONATION" in Renew! Songs and Hymns for Blended Worship Holden, Oliver, one of the pioneers of American psalmody, was born in 1765, and was brought up as a carpenter. Subsequently he became a teacher and music-seller. He died at Charlestown, Massachusetts, 1844. His published works are American Harmony, 1793; the Worcester Collection, 1797; and other Tune books. One of his most popular tunes is "Coronation." It is thought that he edited a small hymn-book, published at Boston before 1808, in which are 21 of his hymns with the signature "H." A single copy only of this book is known, and that is without title-page. Of his hymns the following are in common use:— 1. All those who seek a throne of grace. [God present where prayer is offered.] Was given in Peabody's Springfield Collection, 1835, No. 92, in a recast form as, “They who seek the throne of grace." This form is in extensive use in America, and is also in a few collections in Great Britain. 2. With conscious guilt, and bleeding heart. [Lent.] This, although one of the best of Holden's hymns, has passed out of use. It appeared, with two others, each bearing bis signature, in the Boston Collection (Baptist), 1808. 3. Within these doors assembled now. [Divine Worship.] [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.] -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology
