Lord, Shall Thy Children Come To Thee?
Author: Samuel Hinds; Henry J. Buckoll Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, shall Thy children come to Thee?
A boon of love divine we seek;
Brought to Thine arms in infancy,
Ere heart could feel, or tongue could speak,
Thy children pray for grace, that they
May come themselves to Thee today.
2 Lord, shall we come? and come again,
Oft as we see Thy table spread,
And tokens of Thy dying pain,
The wine poured out, the broken bread?
Bless, bless, O Lord, Thy children’s prayer,
That they may come and find Thee there.
3 Lord, shall we come? not thus alone
At holy time, or solemn rite;
But every hour till life be flown,
Through weal or woe, in gloom or light,
Come to Thy throne of grace, that we
In faith, hope, love, confirmed may be?
4 Lord, shall we come? come yet again?
Thy children ask one blessing more:
To come, not now alone; but then
When life, and death, and time are o’er;
Then, then to come, O Lord, and be
Confirmed in Heaven, confirmed by Thee. Used With Tune: MELITA Text Sources: Sonnets and Other Short Poems, 1834

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Person Name: John Bacchus Dykes Composer of "MELITA" in The Cyber Hymnal As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern.
