Hail, Thou Bright and Sacred Morn

Author: Julia A. Elliott Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2634 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1. Hail, thou bright and sacred morn, Ris’n with gladness in thy beams! Light, which not of earth is born, From thy dawn in glory streams; Airs of Heav’n are breathed around, And each place is holy ground. 2. Sad and weary were our way, Fainting oft beneath our load, But for thee, thou blessèd day, Resting place on life’s rough road; Here flow forth the streams of grace; Strengthened hence we run our race. 3. Great Creator, who this day From Thy perfect work didst rest, By the souls that own Thy sway Hallowed be its hours and blest; Cares of earth aside be thrown, This day give to Heav’n alone. 4. Savior, who this day didst break The dark prison of the tomb, Bid my slumbering soul awake; Shine through all its sin and gloom; Let me, from my bonds set free, Rise from sin, and live to Thee. 5. Blessèd Spirit, Comforter, Sent this day from Christ on high; Lord, on me Thy gifts confer, Cleanse, illumine, sanctify: All Thine influence shed abroad; Let me to the truth of God.

Julia Anne Elliott

1809 - 1841 Person Name: Julia A. Elliott Author of "Hail, thou bright and sacred morn" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book Elliott, Julia Anne, née Marshall, daughter of Mr. John Marshall, of Hallsteads, Ullswater, was married to the Rev. H. V. Elliott (q.v.), in 1833, and died Nov. 3, 1841. Her hymns were contributed to her husband's Psalms & Hymns, 1835, anonymously, but in the Index to the "3rd thousand," 1839, her initials were added. These hymns are eleven in all, and concerning them, Miller has justly said (S. & Songs, p. 482), they "show a most refined poetical taste, and a special faculty for appreciating and expressing, appropriately, phases of thought and feeling that are beautiful, and that might have escaped common observation." Of these hymns the best known are, "Hail, thou bright and sacred morn," “On the dewy breath of even,” and "We love Thee, Lord, yet not alone”(q.v.). The rest are:— 1. Father, if that gracious name. Intercession. 2. Great Creator, who this day. Sunday. 3. I would believe; but my weak heart. Len. 4. My God, and can I linger still. Lent. 5. O not when o'er the trembling soul. Lent. 6. O Thou, who didst this rite reveal. Holy Communion. 7. Soon, too soon, the sweet repose. Sunday Evening. 8. Welcome to me the darkest night. Resignation. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

William Henry Monk

1823 - 1889 Person Name: W. H. Monk Composer of "MORNING" in The Presbyterian Book of Praise William H. Monk (b. Brompton, London, England, 1823; d. London, 1889) is best known for his music editing of Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861, 1868; 1875, and 1889 editions). He also adapted music from plainsong and added accompaniments for Introits for Use Throughout the Year, a book issued with that famous hymnal. Beginning in his teenage years, Monk held a number of musical positions. He became choirmaster at King's College in London in 1847 and was organist and choirmaster at St. Matthias, Stoke Newington, from 1852 to 1889, where he was influenced by the Oxford Movement. At St. Matthias, Monk also began daily choral services with the choir leading the congregation in music chosen according to the church year, including psalms chanted to plainsong. He composed over fifty hymn tunes and edited The Scottish Hymnal (1872 edition) and Wordsworth's Hymns for the Holy Year (1862) as well as the periodical Parish Choir (1840-1851). Bert Polman

Joseph Barnby

1838 - 1896 Composer of "DIES CHRISTI" in College Hymnal 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
