The Day Thou Gavest, Lord, Is Ended

Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Hymnal: Hymns for Youth #180 (1966) Meter: 9.8.9.8 First Line: The day thou gavest, Lord is ended Lyrics: 1. The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended, The darkness falls at thy behest; To thee our morning hymns ascended, Thy praise shall sanctify our rest. 2. We thank thee that thy Church, unsleeping While earth rolls onward into light, Through all the world her watch is keeping, And rests not now by day or night. 3. As o'er each continent and island The dawn leads on another day, The voice of prayer is never silent Nor dies the strain of praise away. 4. The sun that bids us rest is waking Our brethren 'neath the western sky, And hour by hour fresh lips are making Thy wondrous doings heard on high. 5. So be it, Lord; thy throne shall never, Like earth's proud empires, pass away: Thy kingdom stands, and grows forever, Till all thy creatures own thy sway.

Sing Praise to the LORD God Almighty

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #135 (1987) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to the LORD God Almighty, proclaim all his glory abroad. O praise him, you servants appointed to stand in the house of our God. 2 Give praise to the LORD for his goodness; 'tis pleasant his praises to sing. His people, his chosen and precious, your praises with gratitude bring. 3 I know that the LORD is almighty; supreme in dominion is he, performing his will and good pleasure in heaven, on the earth, in the sea. 4 His hand guides the clouds in their courses; the lightning flames forth at his will. The wind and the rain he releases his sovereign designs to fulfill. 5 To ransom his people from bondage, great wonders and signs he displayed. He smote all the firstborn of Egypt, till Pharaoh gave in and obeyed. 6 Great nations and kings that opposed him were smitten by God's mighty hand. Their riches he gave to his people; he made them inherit the land. 7 The name of the LORD stands forever, through all generations renowned. The LORD brings relief to his people; his mercies forever abound. 8 The idols of gold and of silver can speak not nor listen nor see. Their makers shall also be helpless; like them shall their worshipers be. 9 Praise God, every son, every daughter; in worship your gladness proclaim. His servants, and all you who fear him, sing praise to his glorious name.

Ralph Vaughan Williams

1872 - 1958 Meter: 9.8.9.8 Composer of "RANDOLPH" in Redemption Songs Through his composing, conducting, collecting, editing, and teaching, Ralph Vaughan Williams (b. Down Ampney, Gloucestershire, England, October 12, 1872; d. Westminster, London, England, August 26, 1958) became the chief figure in the realm of English music and church music in the first half of the twentieth century. His education included instruction at the Royal College of Music in London and Trinity College, Cambridge, as well as additional studies in Berlin and Paris. During World War I he served in the army medical corps in France. Vaughan Williams taught music at the Royal College of Music (1920-1940), conducted the Bach Choir in London (1920-1927), and directed the Leith Hill Music Festival in Dorking (1905-1953). A major influence in his life was the English folk song. A knowledgeable collector of folk songs, he was also a member of the Folksong Society and a supporter of the English Folk Dance Society. Vaughan Williams wrote various articles and books, including National Music (1935), and composed numerous arrangements of folk songs; many of his compositions show the impact of folk rhythms and melodic modes. His original compositions cover nearly all musical genres, from orchestral symphonies and concertos to choral works, from songs to operas, and from chamber music to music for films. Vaughan Williams's church music includes anthems; choral-orchestral works, such as Magnificat (1932), Dona Nobis Pacem (1936), and Hodie (1953); and hymn tune settings for organ. But most important to the history of hymnody, he was music editor of the most influential British hymnal at the beginning of the twentieth century, The English Hymnal (1906), and coeditor (with Martin Shaw) of Songs of Praise (1925, 1931) and the Oxford Book of Carols (1928).

Louis Bourgeois

1510 - 1561 Meter: 9.8.9.8 Composer or Arranger of "LES COMOMANDEMENS" in The Hymnary for use in Baptist churches 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. Bert Polman

Born at Cincinnati, OH, he helped support his family by running his father's singing school. He married Annie Eliza McKrell in 1880, and they had five children. After his father's death he and his brothers, Charles and Frederick, founded the Fillmore Brothers Music House in Cincinnati, specializing in publishing religious music. He was also an author, composer, and editor of music, composing hymn tunes, anthems, and cantatas, as well as publishing 20+ Christian songbooks and hymnals. He issued a monthly periodical “The music messsenger”, typically putting in his own hymns before publishing them in hymnbooks. Jessie Brown Pounds, also a hymnist, contributed song lyrics to the Fillmore Music House for 30 years, and many tunes were composed for her lyrics. He was instrumental in the prohibition and temperance efforts of the day. His wife died in 1913, and he took a world tour trip with single daughter, Fred (a church singer), in the early 1920s. He died in Cincinnati. His son, Henry, became a bandmaster/composer. John Perry
