Great Source of Unexhausted Good

Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2031 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Great Source of unexhausted good, Who givest us health and friends and food And peace and calm content; Like fragrant incense, to the skies, Let songs of grateful praises rise For all Thy blessings lent. 2. Through all the dangers of the day, Thy providence attends our way, To guard us and to guide; Thy grace directs our wandering will, And warns us, lest seducing ill Allure our souls aside. 3. To Thee our lives, our all, we owe, Our peace and sweetest joys below, And brightest hopes above; Then let our lives, and all that’s ours, Our souls, and all our active powers, Be sacred to Thy love.

Henry Wells Hardy

1820 - 1893 Composer of "EASTBOURNE" in The Cyber Hymnal Born: 1820, Chelsea, London, England. Died: January 1893, Eastbourne, Sussex, England. Henry’s parents were William Wells Hardy and Sophia Hardy. In the early part of his career, he held various organ appointments in England, including organist of the parish church of Ottery St. Mary, Devon, and in Berbice, British Guiana (now Guyana). The 1851 British census lists him as a Professor of Musick, living in Ottery St. Mary with his wife Harriett (a governess) and their two-year-old daughter Edith (who had been born in Berbice). In the mid-1850s the family moved to Eastbourne, where they would make their home at Berbice Villa, Hardwick Road. By 1859, Hardy was advertising his services in the Eastbourne Gazette as a teacher of the piano, organ and singing, and as a seller or hirer of pianos. He became organist of Eastbourne Parish Church (St. Mary’s) in 1854, and of St. Saviour’s Church in the same town in 1869, holding both posts until 1870. By 1869, he had become first music master of Eastbourne College (founded 1867), where he would remain until 1873. From 1870-2 he played the organ at All Saints’ Church, Paddington, London. By 1876, he was a professor of music in London and Eastbourne, and choirmaster at St. Paul’s Church, Eastbourne. He also conducted the Eastbourne Choral Society for at least two decades. After his death, the Eastbourne Herald Chronicle observed, Mr. Hardy was widely known and his death will be deplored by a large circle of friends." Cyber Hymnal
