Blest morning! whose first dawning rays

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #H4 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Blest morning! whose first dawning rays beheld the Son of God arise triumphant from the grave, and leave his dark abode. 2 Wrapt in the silence of the tomb the great Redeemer lay, till the revolving skies had brought the third, th' appointed day. 3 Hell and the grave combin'd their force to hold our Lord in vain; sudden the Conqueror arose, and burst their feeble chain. 4 To thy great name, Almighty Lord! we sacred honours pay, and loud hosannahs shall proclaim the triumphs of the day. 5 Salvation and immortal praise to our victorious King! Let heav'n and earth, and rocks and seas, with glad hosannahs ring. 6 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the God whom we adore, be glory, as it was, and is, and shall be evermore. Languages: English

Hymn 72

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #II.72 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Blest morning, whose young dawning rays Lyrics: Blest morning, whose young dawning rays Beheld our rising God, That saw him triumph o'er the dust, And leave his dark abode! In the cold prison of a tomb The dead Redeemer lay, Till the revolving skies had brought The third, th' appointed day. Hell and the grave unite their force To hold our God in vain; The sleeping Conqueror arose, And burst their feeble chain. To thy great name, almighty Lord, These sacred hours we pay; And loud hosannahs shall proclaim The triumph of the day. [Salvation and immortal praise To our victorious King; Let heav'n, and earth, and rocks, and seas, With glad hosannahs ring.] Languages: English

A leader in the revival of English opera and folk music scholarship, Shaw composed some one hundred songs as well as anthems and service music; some of his best hymn tunes were published in his Additional Tunes in Use at St. Mary's (1915).

1838 - 1896 Person Name: Joseph Barnby (1838- ) Composer of "HOLY TRINITY" in Carmina Sanctorum Joseph Barnby (b. York, England, 1838; d. London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873). Bert Polman
