O nata lux de lumine, Jesu redemptor saeculi, Dignare clemens supplicum Laudes precesque sumere. Qui carne quondam contegi Dignatus es pro perditis, Nos membra confer effici Tui beati corporis.<\/em><\/p>\n

O Light born of Light, Jesus, redeemer of the world, with loving-kindness deign to receive suppliant praise and prayer. Thou who once deigned to be clothed in flesh for the sake of the lost, grant us to be members of thy blessed body.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Lord, for Thy tender mercy’s sake<\/em>, Richard Farrant (1530-1580)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Lord, 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><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\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\u2019s 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 and Hide not thou thy face 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\u2019sake, 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.<\/div>\n

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

Come, Thou fount of every blessing<\/em><\/strong> <\/a>(NETTLETON) is by Robert Robinson (1735-1790). Robinson uses the double rhyming of the odd-numbered lines to great effect, and the hymn is rich in Biblical imagery: the reference\u00a0 is from 1 Samuel 7:1-12: \u201cThen Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Jeshanah, and named it Ebenezer; for he said, \u2018Thus far the Lord has helped us.\u2019\u201d (Ebenezer<\/em> means stone of help<\/em>). After a dissolute adolescence, Robinson was converted by the preaching of George Whitefield and became a Baptist minister.\u00a0 NETTLETON first appeared in John Wyeth\u2019s Repository of Sacred Music, Part Second\u00a0<\/em>(1813).<\/p>\n

What wondrous love<\/em><\/strong> <\/a>(WONDROUS LOVE) is, as its repetitions evidence, an American folk hymn, from the Second Great Awakening. This hymn articulates the question that Christians ask every day: what did I do to deserve such a wonderful love from God and from Christ? The hymn is an offering of thanks to the Son for laying aside his crown as King and humbling himself even unto death. Jesus took on the sin and shame of man and thereby became the Lamb who was slain to save us from our sins. Jesus is not only the Lamb, but he is I AM, Lord and God. Our response is endless praise, and forever we shall marvel and ask, \u201cWhat wondrous Love?\u201d<\/p>\n

#55 \u00a0Forty days and forty nights<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>(HEINLEIN) was written by the Anglican clergyman George Hunt Smyttan (1822-1870). It was published in the March 1856 edition of\u00a0The Penny Post<\/em>\u00a0and was revised five years later as\u00a0Forty Days and Forty Nights<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0Hymns Fitted to the Order of Common Prayer<\/em> (1861), by the Rev. Francis Pott (1832\u20131909). HEINLEIN or AUS DER TIEFE is attributed to Martin Herbst (1654-1681).<\/p>\n

FORTY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Forty often symbolizes a time of testing or judgment. In the Old Testament, when God destroyed the earth with water, He caused it to rain 40 days and 40 nights. After Moses killed the Egyptian, he fled to Midian, where he spent 40 years in the desert tending flocks. Moses was on Mount Sinai for 40 days and 40 nights. Moses interceded on Israel\u2019s behalf for 40 days and 40 nights. The Law specified a maximum number of lashes a man could receive for a crime, setting the limit at 40. The Israelite spies took 40 days to spy out Canaan. The Israelites wandered for 40 years. Before Samson\u2019s deliverance, Israel served the Philistines for 40 years. Goliath taunted Saul\u2019s army for 40 days before David arrived to slay him. When Elijah fled from Jezebel, he traveled 40 days and 40 nights to Mt. Horeb. Jonah warned that in 40 days Nineveh would be destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lent is a time of testing and of growth to spiritual maturity. According to the Talmud, at age 40 a person transitions from one level of wisdom to the next. After Moses led the Jewish people for 40 years in the wilderness, he told them: \u201cGod has not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, until this day.\u201d It took the Jewish people of testing 40 years before they reached a full level of understanding. After 40 days of Lent, we should grow into the full measure of manhood: \u201cThough he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
