Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 190 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, our Lord, how rich Thy grace! Thy bounties how complete! How shall we count the matchless sum, How pay the mighty debt? 2 High on a throne of radiant light Dost Thou exalted shine: What can our poverty bestow, When all the worlds are Thine? 3 But Thou hast brethren here below, The partners of Thy grace, And wilt confess their humble names Before Thy Father's face. 4 In them Thou may'st be clothed and fed, And visited and cheered; And in their accents of distress Our Saviour's voice is heard. 5 Thy face, with reverence and with love, We in Thy poor would see; Oh, may we minister to them, And in them, Lord, to Thee.

Richard Redhead

1820 - 1901 Person Name: Richard Redhead 1820-1901 Composer of "METZLER" in The Australian Hymn Book with Catholic Supplement Richard Redhead (b. Harrow, Middlesex, England, 1820; d. Hellingley, Sussex, England, 1901) was a chorister at Magdalen College, Oxford. At age nineteen he was invited to become organist at Margaret Chapel (later All Saints Church), London. Greatly influencing the musical tradition of the church, he remained in that position for twenty-five years as organist and an excellent trainer of the boys' choirs. Redhead and the church's rector, Frederick Oakeley, were strongly committed to the Oxford Movement, which favored the introduction of Roman elements into Anglican worship. Together they produced the first Anglican plainsong psalter, Laudes Diurnae (1843). Redhead spent the latter part of his career as organist at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Paddington (1864-1894).

Henry J. Gauntlett

1805 - 1876 Person Name: H. J. Gauntlett, 1805-1876 Composer of "ST. FULBERT" in Church Hymns Henry J. Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, July 9, 1805; d. London, England, February 21, 1876) When he was nine years old, Henry John Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, England, 1805; d. Kensington, London, England, 1876) became organist at his father's church in Olney, Buckinghamshire. At his father's insistence he studied law, practicing it until 1844, after which he chose to devote the rest of his life to music. He was an organist in various churches in the London area and became an important figure in the history of British pipe organs. A designer of organs for William Hill's company, Gauntlett extended the organ pedal range and in 1851 took out a patent on electric action for organs. Felix Mendelssohn chose him to play the organ part at the first performance of Elijah in Birmingham, England, in 1846. Gauntlett is said to have composed some ten thousand hymn tunes, most of which have been forgotten. Also a supporter of the use of plainchant in the church, Gauntlett published the Gregorian Hymnal of Matins and Evensong (1844). Bert Polman
