How vast Thy gifts, how free;

Thy name, our only plea,
Thy name, our only plea.

Our off’rings to Thy throne;
Not gold, nor myrrh, nor mortal thing,
But hearts to be Thine own,
But hearts to be Thine own.

Thy temple we behold,
Hosannas thro’ eternity
We’ll sing to harps of gold,
We’ll sing to harps of god. Topics: Christ Praise to Used With Tune: MILES LANE

George Frideric Handel
1685 - 1759 Person Name: Handel Composer of "CHRISTMAS" in The Cyber Hymnal George Frideric Handel (b. Halle, Germany, 1685; d. London, England, 1759) became a musician and composer despite objections from his father, who wanted him to become a lawyer. Handel studied music with Zachau, organist at the Halle Cathedral, and became an accomplished violinist and keyboard performer. He traveled and studied in Italy for some time and then settled permanently in England in 1713. Although he wrote a large number of instrumental works, he is known mainly for his Italian operas, oratorios (including Messiah, 1741), various anthems for church and royal festivities, and organ concertos, which he interpolated into his oratorio performances. He composed only three hymn tunes, one of which (GOPSAL) still appears in some modern hymnals. A number of hymnal editors, including Lowell Mason, took themes from some of Handel's oratorios and turned them into hymn tunes; ANTIOCH is one example, long associated with “Joy to the World.”
