Great Creator, Lord of All
Author: T. B. Pollock Meter: 7.7.5.7.7.7.5 Appears in 10 hymnals Hymnal Title: Gloria Deo Lyrics: 1 Great Creator, Lord of all,
Father, Friend, on Thee we call;
Hear Thy children’s pray’r.
Guide us, rule us, as is best,
With Thy loving favor blest,
Till we reach Thy home of rest,
And are with Thee there.
2 Jesus, Who for man didst die,
Who dost plead Thy death on high,
And our place prepare;
From sin’s bondage set us free,
Lead us onward after Thee,
Till with joy Thy face we see,
And Thy likeness wear.
3 Holy Spirit, Life, and Light,
Wisdom, Pureness, Love, and Might,
Fallen souls restore;
Guide our spirits when we pray,
Cheer us, help us on our way,
Make us holier day by day,
Till we sin no more.
4 Ever blessed Three in One,
May Thy will in us be done,
Show in us Thy love;
Keep us Thine while here below,
Make us in Thy grace to grow,
And at last Thy glory know
In the world above. Used With Tune: POLLOCK

Thomas Benson Pollock
1836 - 1896 Person Name: T. B. Pollock Hymnal Title: Gloria Deo Author of "Great Creator, Lord of All" in Gloria Deo Pollock, Thomas Benson, M.A., was born in 1836, and graduated at Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1859, M.A. 1863, where he also gained the Vice-Chancellor's Prize for English Verse in 1855. Taking Holy Orders in 1861, he was Curate of St. Luke's, Leek, Staffordshire; St. Thomas's, Stamford Hill, London; and St. Alban's, Birmingham. Mr. Pollock is a most successful writer of metrical Litanies. His Metrical Litanies for Special Services and General Use, Mowbray, Oxford, 1870, and other compositions of the same kind contributed subsequently to various collections, have greatly enriched modern hymnbooks. To the 1889 Supplemental Hymns to Hymns Ancient & Modern, Mr. Pollock contributed two hymns, “We are soldiers of Christ, Who is mighty to save" (Soldiers of Christ), and "We have not known Thee as we ought" (Seeking God), but they are by no means equal to his Litanies in beauty and finish.
