Author: E. H. Chapin Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #487 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) First Line: Our Father God! not face to face Lyrics:
Our Father God! not face to face
May mortal sense commune with Thee,
Nor lift the curtains of that place
Where dwells Thy secret Majesty.
Yet whereso’er our spirits bend
In rev’rent faith and humble prayer,
Thy promised blessing will descend,
And we shall find Thy spirit there.
Lord! be the spot where now we meet
An open gateway into heaven;
Here may we sit at Jesus’ feet,
And feel our deepest sins forgiven.
Here may desponding care look up;
And sorrow lay its burden down,
Or learn, of him, to drink the cup,
To bear the cross, and win the crown.
Here may the sick and wandering soul
To truth still blind, to sin a slave,
Find better than Bethesda’s pool,
Or than Siloam’s healing wave.
381
And may we learn, while here apart
From the world’s passion and its strife;
That Thy true shrine’s a loving heart,
And Thy best praise a holy life!

In his early days he was eminent as a lecturer; and as a preacher until his death. He was born in Union village, Washington, N. Y., Dec. 29, 1814, and educated at Bennington, Vermont. He was successively pastor at Richmond, Virginia, 1837; Charleston, Mass.; Boston, 1846; and from 1848, of the Church of the Divine Paternity, New York city. He died Dec. 26, 1880. He published several works, and edited, with J. G. Adams, Hymns for Christian Devotion, Boston, 1846. This is perhaps the most prominent Universalist Collection in the States. To it Dr. Chapin contributed the following hymns:—
1. Amid surrounding gloom and waste. During a Storm.
2. Father, at this altar bending. Installation of a Pastor.
3. Father, lo, we consecrate. Opening of a Place of Worship.
4. Hark! hark! with harps of gold. Christmas.
5. O Thou who didst ordain the word. Ordination.
6. Our Father, God! not face to face. Opening of a Place of Worship.
7. When long the soul has slept in chains. Charitable Institutions.
Of these No. 6 is the most widely used. In addition Dr. Chapin is the author of:—
8. Now host with host assembling. Temperance. This was given in Longfellow and Johnson's Book of Hymns (Unitarian), 1848, and from thence has passed Into other collections. It is entitled "Triumph of Temperance." and is well known. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]

London, 1889) is best known for his music editing of Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861, 1868; 1875, and 1889 editions). He also adapted music from plainsong and added accompaniments for Introits for Use Throughout the Year, a book issued with that famous hymnal. Beginning in his teenage years, Monk held a number of musical positions. He became choirmaster at King's College in London in 1847 and was organist and choirmaster at St. Matthias, Stoke Newington, from 1852 to 1889, where he was influenced by the Oxford Movement. At St. Matthias, Monk also began daily choral services with the choir leading the congregation in music chosen according to the church year, including psalms chanted to plainsong. He composed over fifty hymn tunes and edited The Scottish Hymnal (1872 edition) and Wordsworth's Hymns for the Holy Year (1862) as well as the periodical Parish Choir (1840-1851).

He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873).
