O God in heaven, whose loving plan

Author: Hugh Martin, 1890-1964 Hymnal: Common Praise #535 (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O God in heaven, whose loving plan ordained for us our parents' care, and, from the time our life began, the shelter of a home to share; our Father, on the homes we love, send down thy blessing from above. 2 May young and old together know in Christ, the Lord of every day, that fellowship our homes may bind in joy and sorrow, work and play. Our Father, on the homes we love, send down thy blessing from above. 3 The sins that mar our homes forgive; from all self-seeking set us free; parents and children, may we live in glad obedience to thee. Our Father, on the homes we love, send down thy blessing from above. 4 O Father, in our homes preside, their duties shared as in thy sight; in kindly ways be thou our guide, on mirth and trouble shed thy light. Our Father, on the homes we love, send down thy blessing from above. Topics: Mothering Sunday; Proper 11 Year C Scripture: Ephesians 3:14-15 Languages: English Tune Title: COLCHESTER

Samuel Sebastian Wesley

1810 - 1876 Person Name: S. S. Wesley, 1810-1876 Composer of "COLCHESTER" in Common Praise Samuel Sebastian Wesley (b. London, England, 1810; d. Gloucester, England, 1876) was an English organist and composer. The grandson of Charles Wesley, he was born in London, and sang in the choir of the Chapel Royal as a boy. He learned composition and organ from his father, Samuel, completed a doctorate in music at Oxford, and composed for piano, organ, and choir. He was organist at Hereford Cathedral (1832-1835), Exeter Cathedral (1835-1842), Leeds Parish Church (1842­-1849), Winchester Cathedral (1849-1865), and Gloucester Cathedral (1865-1876). Wesley strove to improve the standards of church music and the status of church musicians; his observations and plans for reform were published as A Few Words on Cathedral Music and the Music System of the Church (1849). He was the musical editor of Charles Kemble's A Selection of Psalms and Hymns (1864) and of the Wellburn Appendix of Original Hymns and Tunes (1875) but is best known as the compiler of The European Psalmist (1872), in which some 130 of the 733 hymn tunes were written by him.

PETERSBURG" in Baptist Hymnal (1975 ed) Dimitri Stepanovitch Bortniansky (1751-1825) Ukraine 1751-1825 Born in Glukhov, Ukraine, he joined the imperial choir at age 8 and studied with Galuppi, who later took the lad with him to Italy, where he studied for 10 years, becoming a composer, harpsichordist, and conductor. While in Italy he composed several operas and other instrumental music, composing more operas and music later in Russia. In 1779 he returned to Russia, where he was appointed Director to the Imperial Chapel Choir, the first as a native citizen. In 1796 he was appointed music director. With such a great instrument at his disposal, he produced many compositions, 100+ religious works, sacred concertos, cantatas, and hymns. He influenced Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovshy, the latter editing Bortniansky's sacred work, amassing 10 volumnes. He died in St. Petersburg. He was so popular in Russia that a bronze statue was erected in his honor in the Novgorod Kremlin. He composed in different musical styles, including choral works in French, Italian, Latin, German, and Church Slavonic. John Perry
