Ach, Gott und Herr,\u00a0<\/em>J. G. Walther<\/p>\n

Johann Gottfried Walther (1684-1748) was a German music theorist, organist, composer, and lexicographer of the Baroque era. Not only was his life almost exactly contemporaneous to that of Johann Sebastian Bach, he was the famous composer’s cousin.<\/p>\n

Hymns<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is based on the Latin hymn\u00a0Vox clara ecce intonat<\/em>\u00a0in a translation by Edward Caswall.<\/p>\n

Stanzas 1-3 contain references to Christ\u2019s first coming, but they can be used to celebrate his second coming as well. Stanza 4 surely refers to His second coming.<\/p>\n

1 Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding;
\n\u201cChrist is nigh,\u201d it seems to say;
\n\u201cCast away the works of darkness
\nO ye children of the day!\u201d<\/p>\n

2 Wakened by the solemn warning,
\nLet the earth-bound soul arise;
\nChrist, her Sun, all sloth dispelling,
\nShines upon the morning skies.<\/p>\n

3 Lo! the Lamb, so long expected,
\nComes with pardon down from heaven;
\nLet us haste, with tears of sorrow,
\nOne and all to be forgiven;<\/p>\n

4 So when next He comes in glory,
\nWrapping all the world in fear,
\nMay He with His mercy shield us,
\nAnd with words of love draw near.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is\u00a0St Johns, Detroi<\/a>t.<\/p>\n

Here is the Latin original:<\/p>\n

VOX clara ecce intonat,
\nobscura quaeque increpat:
\nprocul fugentur somnia;
\nab aethere Christus promicat.<\/p>\n

Mens iam resurgat torpida
\nquae sorde exstat saucia;
\nsidus refulget iam novum,
\nut tollat omne noxium.<\/p>\n

E sursum Agnus mittitur
\nlaxare gratis debitum;
\nomnes pro indulgentia
\nvocem demus cum lacrimis,<\/p>\n

Secundo ut cum fulserit
\nmundumque horror cinxerit,
\nnon pro reatu puniat,
\nsed nos pius tunc protegat.<\/p>\n

Summo Parenti gloria
\nNatoque sit victoria,
\net Flamini laus debita
\nper saeculorum saecula. Amen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Edward Caswell<\/em><\/p>\n

Edward Caswall (1814\u20141878) was an Anglican clergyman. In 1850, his wife having died the previous year, he joined the Oratory of St. Philip Neri under the future Cardinal Newman, to whose influence his conversion to Roman Catholicism was due.<\/p>\n

He was the son of Rev. R. C. Caswall, sometime Vicar of Yateley, Hampshire. Caswall was educated at Marlborough Grammar School and Brasenose College, Oxford, where he graduated Bachelor of Arts in 1836 with honours and later proceeded to Master of Arts. He was curate of Stratford-sub-Castle, near Salisbury, 1840\u20131847. In 1850, he joined the Oratory of St. Philip Neri. He died at the Oratory, Edgbaston, near Birmingham on 2 January 1878 and was buried at Rednal, near Bromsgrove, Worcestershire.<\/p>\n

He wrote original poems that have survived mainly in Catholic hymnals due to a clear adherence to Catholic doctrine. Caswall is best known for his translations from the Roman Breviary and other Latin sources, which are marked by faithfulness to the original. His widely used hymn texts and translations include \u201cAlleluia! Alleluia! Let the Holy Anthem Rise\u201d; \u201cCome, Holy Ghost\u201d; \u201cJesus, the Very Thought of Thee\u201d; \u201cWhen Morning Gilds the Skies\u201d; and \u201cYe Sons and Daughters of the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jesus calls us; o’er the tumult<\/strong><\/em> is by Cecil Frances Alexander. It contains a revivalist note which was also part of the Oxford Movement, which emphasized the Catholic nature of the Church of England in order to call men to conversion and a holy life.<\/p>\n

1 Jesus calls us; o’er the tumult
\nof our life’s wild, restless sea,
\nday by day his clear voice soundeth,
\nsaying, “Christian, follow me;”<\/p>\n

2 as, of old, Saint Andrew heart it
\nby the Galilean lake,
\nturned from home and toil and kindred,
\nleaving all for his dear sake.<\/p>\n

3 Jesus calls us from the worship
\nof the vain world’s golden store;
\nfrom each idol that would keep us,
\nsaying, “Christian, love me more.”<\/p>\n

4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
\ndays of toil and hours of ease,
\nstill he calls, in cares and pleasures,
\n“Christian, love me more than these.”<\/p>\n

5 Jesus calls us! By thy mercies,
\nSavior, may we hear thy call,
\ngive our hearts to thine obedience,
\nserve and love thee best of all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) was born in Dublin.\u00a0 She began writing verse in her childhood, being strongly influenced by Dr Walter Hook, Dean of Chichester. Her subsequent religious work was strongly influenced by her contacts with the Oxford Movement, and in particular with John Keble, who edited one of her anthologies. Some of her hymns, e.g. “All Things Bright and Beautiful”, “There is a Green Hill Far Away”\u00a0 and the Christmas carol “Once in Royal David’s City”, are known by Christians the world over, as is her rendering of “Saint Patrick’s Breastplate”.<\/p>\n

Alexander was involved in charitable work for much of her life. Money from her first publications had helped build the Derry and Raphoe Diocesan Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, which was founded in Strabane in 1846. The profits from Hymns for Little Children<\/em> were also donated to the school. She was involved with the Derry Home for Fallen Women, and worked to develop a district nurses service. She was an “indefatigable visitor to poor and sick.” She was criticized, however, for her endorsement of the class system, as expressed, for example, in the original third verse of “All Things Bright and Beautiful”:<\/p>\n

The rich man in his castle,
\nThe poor man at his gate,
\nGod made them high and lowly,
\nAnd ordered their estate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Subsequent versions of the hymn omitted this verse.<\/p>\n

Praise to the living God<\/em><\/strong>, like many hymns, has a complicated textual history.<\/p>\n

1 Praise to the living God!
\nAll praised be his Name
\nwho was, and is, and is to be,
\nfor ay the same.
\nThe one eternal God
\nere aught that now appears:
\nthe first, the last, beyond all thought
\nhis timeless years!<\/p>\n

2 Formless, all lovely forms
\ndeclare his loveliness;
\nholy, no holiness of earth
\ncan his express.
\nLo, he is Lord of all.
\nCreation speaks his praise,
\nand everywhere above, below,
\nhis will obeys.<\/p>\n

3 His Spirit floweth free,
\nhigh surging where it will:
\nin prophet’s word he spake of old:
\nhe speaketh still.
\nEstablished is his law,
\nand changeless it shall stand,
\ndeep writ upon the human heart,
\non sea, on land.<\/p>\n

4 Eternal life hath he
\nimplanted in the soul;
\nhis love shall be our strength and stay
\nwhile ages roll.
\nPraise to the living God!
\nAll praised be his Name
\nwho was, and is, and is to be,
\nfor aye the same.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Praise to the Living God” is an American Judeo-Christian hymn written in 1884 by Max Landsburg and Newton Mann. It was revised in 1910 by William C. Gannett.<\/p>\n

Landsburg was a Jewish rabbi of German origin in Rochester, New York. In 1884, he approached Mann, a Unitarian minister, for assistance in adapting the British Methodist hymn “The God of Abraham Praise,” itself a loose and Christianized translation of the Jewish hymn “Yigdal,” into a more accurate and less Christianized translation of “Yigdal” for interfaith use. Mann wrote “Praise to the Living God” as a version of Yigdal that was suitable for use in both Jewish and Christian worship. However, in 1910, William C. Gannett was approached by Landsburg to revise the hymn. A revision was subsequently completed, despite Gannett claiming it was not his work, and the revised hymn first appeared in the Jewish Union Hymnal<\/em> in the same year.<\/p>\n

“Praise to The Living God” and its lyrics have often been combined with other hymns to create hybrids. In the 1930s, for example, “The God of Abraham Praise” was sung to a melody called “Leoni” which was composed by Myer Lyon and adopted by Thomas Olivers as the music for the hymn. In 1933, the editors of The Presbyterian Hymnal<\/em> decided to replace “The God of Abraham Praise” with “Praise to The Living God” in the hymnal. In order to make the new hymn familiar to the congregation, they set it to the tune of the old hymn and substituted the first line of the old with the first line of the new. Consequently, several American hymnals until the 1980s misattributed “The God of Abraham Praise” to Landsburg and Mann instead of crediting Olivers.<\/p>\n

Anthems<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Lord, for thy tender mercy’s sake<\/em>, Richard Ferrant<\/p>\n

Lord,\u00a0 for thy tender mercy’s sake, lay not our sins to our charge, but forgive that is past, and give us grace to amend our sinful lives. To decline from sin and incline to virtue, that we may walk in a perfect heart before thee, now and evermore. Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n

English musician, organist, choirmaster, and producer of plays, Richard Farrant was attached to the Chapel Royal, though not continuously, from the reign of Edward VI until he died in 1580. In 1564, he was appointed master of the Choristers and organist at St George’s Chapel. In 1576 he was appointed deputy to William Hunnis, Director of the Children of the Chapel Royal. His Morning, Communion, and Evening service (\u00e0 4) in A minor survives also in G minor. The fine short anthems Call to remembrance<\/em> and Hide not thou thy face<\/em> help to give Farrant a place in the musical history of the period out of proportion to his small output. Lord, for thy tender mercies’sake<\/em>, sometimes ascribed to Farrant is more likely by Tye, or the elder John Hilton (d. 1608). Farrant converted Blackfriars, the old monastery, into a private theatre in 1574.<\/p>\n
