Say, Is This Wild, Corrupted Nation

Author: Susanna Harrison Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8691 Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Lyrics: 1 Say, is this wild, corrupted nation Blest with a few who seek the Lord? Say, is there one in every station Who loves t’obey Jehovah’s word? 2 Are all agreed t’increase the sadness Of such a dark and gloomy time? Do all run on in headstrong madness, And scorn repentance for the crime? 3 Is this, indeed, our sad condition? No: let me bless the God of grace! There are a few who with contrition Lament for sin before His face. 4 Let me encourage their confession, Their strong entreaties for this land! Though ’tis a time of great transgression, Yet, surely, God is still at hand. 5 Ye humble souls, pray without ceasing, To you the Lord will lend an ear; While sins and judgments are increasing, O pray in faith and persevere. 6 O pray, nor be too much dejected, Ask all in Jesu’s worthy name! Your suit shall never be rejected, Through Him we may forgiveness claim. 7 Come, sinners, join in each petition, Nor tempt the Lord by your delay: He gives repentance and remission To all who do sincerely pray. 8 Let every soul in every station Join their assistance—who can tell But God may turn and bless this nation, And send contention down to hell.

Lizzie De Armond

1847 - 1936 Person Name: Lizzie DeArmond Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Author of "I Am Never Weary Of Jesus" in The Cyber Hymnal Lizzie De Armond was a prolific writer of children's hymns, recitations and exercises. When she was twelve years old her first poem was published in the Germantown, Pa. Telegraph, however, it was not until she was a widow with eight children to support that she started writing in earnest. She wrote articles, librettos, nature stories and other works, as well as hymns. Dianne Shapiro, from "The Singers and Their Songs: sketches of living gospel hymn writers" by Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (Chicago: The Rodeheaver Company, 1916)

Louis Bourgeois

1510 - 1561 Person Name: Louis Bourgeois, c. 1510-1561 Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Composer (attr.) of "RENDEZ À DIEU" in With One Voice 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

1895 - 1984 Person Name: F. Bland Tucker Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Author of "Father, We Give You Thanks, Who Planted" in Psalter Hymnal (Gray) Francis Bland Tucker (born Norfolk, Virginia, January 6, 1895). The son of a bishop and brother of a Presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, he was educated at the University of Virginia, B.A., 1914, and at Virginia Theological Seminary, B.D., 1920; D.D., 1944. He was ordained deacon in 1918, priest in 1920, after having served as a private in Evacuation Hospital No.15 of the American Expeditionary Forces in France during World War I. His first charge was as a rector of Grammer Parish, Brunswick County, in southern Virginia. From 1925 to 1945, he was rector of historic St. John's Church, Georgetown, Washington, D.C. Then until retirement in 1967 he was rector of John Wesley's parish in Georgia, old Christ Church, Savannah. In "Reflections of a Hymn Writer" (The Hymn 30.2, April 1979, pp.115–116), he speaks of never having a thought of writing a hymn until he was named a member of the Joint Commission on the Revision of the Hymnal in 1937 which prepared the Hymnal 1940
