Author: Chris Fenner; Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.8.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Teaching in the synagogue, With sacred scroll unfurled, See this Son of Nazareth Now preaching to the world. News had spread of his renown, And thus he spoke on Sabbath day, Reading from Isaiah's script, Fulfilled in what he'd say: 2. "Take forgiveness to the poor, And sin shall thence depart; By my balm, the sickness cure, Bind up the broken hearts; By my salve of gospel grace, The eyes anoint, the sight restore; In my mercy's arms embrace, Then go and sin no more." 3. Speak, divine Interpreter, Your own prophetic word; All my list'ning soul shall hear And hang upon its Lord. Fix my eye of faith on you, From whom it never shall remove, Till your glorious face I see And hear your voice above. 4. Be it, Lord, in me fulfilled On this momentous day; By your blood-bought pardon sealed, Pray, take my sins away. In paths of righteousness Teach by th'anointing from above; Save me, Jesus, through your grace And rule me by your love. Topics: Epiphany Scripture: Luke 4:16-21 Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM

The poor sinner

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCLXXVII (1790) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.8.7.6 First Line: God of my salvation, hear Lyrics: 1 God of my salvation hear, And help me to believe; Simply do I now draw near, Thy blessing to receive; Full of guilt, alas! I am, But to thy wounds for refuge flee; Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb, Thy blood was shed for me. 2 Nothing have I, LORD, to pay, Nor can thy grace procure; Empty send me not away, For I, thou know'st, am poor, Dust and ashes is my name, My all is sin, and misery: Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb, Thy blood was shed for me. 3 Without money, without price, I come thy love to buy; From myself I turn my eyes, The chief of sinners, I: Take, O take me, as I am, And let me lose myself in thee; Friend of sinners, spotless lamb, Thy blood was shed for me.

The backslider's prayer

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCLXXIX (1790) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.8.7.6 First Line: Jesus, let thy pitying eye Lyrics: 1 Jesus, let thy pitying eye Call back a wand'ring sheep; False to thee, like Peter, I Would fain like Peter, weep; Let me be by grace restor'd, On me be all its freeness shewn; Turn and look upon me, LORD, And break my heart of stone. 2 Saviour prince, enthron'd above, Repentance to impart, Give me thro' thy dying love, The humble contrite heart; Give, what I have long implor'd, A portion of thy grief unknown; Turn and look upon me, LORD, And break my heart of stone. 3 See me, Saviour, from above, Nor suffer me to die; Life, and happiness, and love, Drop from thy gracious eye; Speak the reconciling word And let thy mercy melt me down; Turn and look upon me, LORD, And break my heart of stone. 4 Look as when thy pitying eye, Was clos'd that we might live; Father (at the point to die, My Saviour gasp'd) "Forgive!" Surely with that dying word, He turns, and looks, and cries, "'tis done!" O my loving, bleeding LORD< Thou breaks my heart of stone. Topics: Backslider's Prayer Languages: English

Ludwig van Beethoven

1770 - 1827 Person Name: Ludwig van Beethoven Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.8.7.6 Composer of "SHERBOURNE" in The Cyber Hymnal A giant in the history of music, Ludwig van Beethoven (b. Bonn, Germany, 1770; d. Vienna, Austria, 1827) progressed from early musical promise to worldwide, lasting fame. By the age of fourteen he was an accomplished viola and organ player, but he became famous primarily because of his compositions, including nine symphonies, eleven overtures, thirty piano sonatas, sixteen string quartets, the Mass in C, and the Missa Solemnis. He wrote no music for congregational use, but various arrangers adapted some of his musical themes as hymn tunes; the most famous of these is ODE TO JOY from the Ninth Symphony. Although it would appear that the great calamity of Beethoven's life was his loss of hearing, which turned to total deafness during the last decade of his life, he composed his greatest works during this period.

I. B. Woodbury

1819 - 1858 Person Name: Isaac Baker Woodbury, 1818-1858 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.8.7.6 Composer of "ROCKPORT" in The Cyber Hymnal Woodbury, Isaac Baker. (Beverly, Massachusetts, October 23, 1819--October 26, 1858, Columbia, South Carolina). Music editor. As a boy, he studied music in nearby Boston, then spent his nineteenth year in further study in London and Paris. He taught for six years in Boston, traveling throughout New England with the Bay State Glee Club. He later lived at Bellow Falls, Vermont, where he organized the New Hampshire and Vermont Musical Association. In 1849 he settled in New York City where he directed the music at the Rutgers Street Church until ill-health caused him to resign in 1851. He became editor of the New York Musical Review and made another trip to Europe in 1852 to collect material for the magazine. in the fall of 1858 his health broke down from overwork and he went south hoping to regain his strength, but died three days after reaching Columbia, South Carolina. He published a number of tune-books, of which the Dulcimer, of New York Collection of Sacred Music, went through a number of editions. His Elements of Musical Composition, 1844, was later issued as the Self-instructor in Musical Composition. He also assisted in the compilation of the Methodist Hymn Book of 1857. --Leonard Ellinwood, DNAH Archives

Anonymous

Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.8.7.6 Composer of "GILEAD (Toronto)" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
