My God, How Wonderful Thou Art
Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #65 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My God, how wonderful thou art,
thy majesty, how bright,
how beautiful thy mercy seat
in depths of burning light!
How dread are thine eternal years,
O everlasting Lord:
by prostrate spirits day and night
incessantly adored!
2 How wonderful, how beautiful,
the sight of thee must be,
thine endless wisdom, boundless power,
and awesome purity!
O how I fear thee, living God,
with deepest, tenderest fears,
and worship thee with trembling hope
and penitential tears!
3 Yet, I may love thee too, O Lord,
Almighty as thou art,
for thou hast stooped to ask of me
the love of my poor heart.
No earthly father loves like thee;
no mother, e’er so mild,
bears and forbears as thou hast done
with me, thy sinful child.
4 My God, how wonderful thou art,
thy majesty, how bright,
how beautiful thy mercy seat
in depths of burning light!
Father of Jesus, Love divine,
great King upon thy throne,
what joy to see thee as thou art,
and worship thee alone!

Henry J. Gauntlett
1805 - 1876 Composer of "ST. FULBERT" in The Evangelical Hymnal 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).

George Frideric Handel
1685 - 1759 Person Name: Geo. F. Handel Composer of "BRADFORD" in The National Hymn Book of the American Churches 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.”
