I Am Not Skilled to Understand

Author: Dorothy Greenwell Meter: 8.8.8.7 Appears in 85 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I am not skilled to understand what God hath willed, what God has planned; I only know at his right hand stands one who is my Savior! 2 I take him at his word and deed; “Christ died to save me,” this I read; and in my heart I find a need of him to be my Savior. 3 That he should leave his place on high and come for sinners here to die; you find it strange? So once did I, before I knew my Savior. 4 I hope that Christ my Lord may see fulfillment of his work in me; and with his child contented be as I with my dear Savior! 5 Yes, living, dying, let me bring my strength, my comfort from this spring: that he who lives to be my King once died to be my Savior.

A Carol

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: Paul Gerhardt's Spiritual Songs #6 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.7 First Line: Come, and Christ the Lord be praising Lyrics: Come, and Christ the Lord be praising, Heart and mind to Him be raising, Celebrate His love amazing, Worthy folk of Christendom! Sin, death, hell, may all be grieving, Satan shame feel to him cleaving, We salvation free receiving, Cast our every care away. See what God for us provideth, Life that in His Son abideth, And our weary steps He guideth From earth’s woe to heav’nly joy. His soul deeply for us feeleth, He His love to us revealeth, He who in the heavens dwelleth Came to save us from our foe. Jacob’s star His advent maketh, Soothes the longing heart that acheth, And the serpent’s head He breaketh, Scattering the pow’r of hell. Op’d hath He and freedom gain’d us From the prison that contain’d us, Where much grief and sorrow pain’d us, And our hearts were bow’d with woe. O bless’d hour when we receivèd From the foe who us deceivèd Liberty, when we believèd, And Thee, gracious Savior, prais’d. Beauteous Infant in the manger, O befriend us! beyond danger Bring us where is turn’d God’s anger, Where with angel hosts we’ll praise! Languages: English

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: William James Kirkpatrick Meter: 8.8.8.7 Composer of "GREENWELL" in Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman

Ralph Vaughan Williams

1872 - 1958 Person Name: Ralph Vaughan Williams, 1872-1958 Meter: 8.8.8.7 Adapter of "QUEM PASTORES LAUDAVERE" in The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook Through his composing, conducting, collecting, editing, and teaching, Ralph Vaughan Williams (b. Down Ampney, Gloucestershire, England, October 12, 1872; d. Westminster, London, England, August 26, 1958) became the chief figure in the realm of English music and church music in the first half of the twentieth century. His education included instruction at the Royal College of Music in London and Trinity College, Cambridge, as well as additional studies in Berlin and Paris. During World War I he served in the army medical corps in France. Vaughan Williams taught music at the Royal College of Music (1920-1940), conducted the Bach Choir in London (1920-1927), and directed the Leith Hill Music Festival in Dorking (1905-1953). A major influence in his life was the English folk song. A knowledgeable collector of folk songs, he was also a member of the Folksong Society and a supporter of the English Folk Dance Society. Vaughan Williams wrote various articles and books, including National Music (1935), and composed numerous arrangements of folk songs; many of his compositions show the impact of folk rhythms and melodic modes. His original compositions cover nearly all musical genres, from orchestral symphonies and concertos to choral works, from songs to operas, and from chamber music to music for films. Vaughan Williams's church music includes anthems; choral-orchestral works, such as Magnificat (1932), Dona Nobis Pacem (1936), and Hodie (1953); and hymn tune settings for organ. But most important to the history of hymnody, he was music editor of the most influential British hymnal at the beginning of the twentieth century, The English Hymnal (1906), and coeditor (with Martin Shaw) of Songs of Praise (1925, 1931) and the Oxford Book of Carols (1928).

Small Church Music

Meter: 8.8.8.7 Editors: Percy Dearmer Description: History The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid 1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano with organ versions. About the Recordings All recordings are in MP3 format. Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per month. The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse. Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs. Mobile App We have partnered with the developer of the popular NetTracks mobile app to offer the Small Church Music collection as a convenient mobile app. Experience the beloved Small Church Music collection through this iOS app featuring nearly 10,000 high-quality hymn recordings that can be organized into custom setlists and downloaded for offline use—ideal for worship services without musicians, congregational practice, and personal devotion.
