To nobler joys, than nature gives, Thy servants all aspire. 3 Since thou, the everlasting God, My father art become; Jesus my guardian and my friend, And heaven my final home: 4 I welcome all thy sovereign will: For all that will is love; And when I know not what thou dost, I wait the light above. 5 Thy covenant the last accent claims Of this poor faltering tongue; And that shall the first notes employ Of my celestial song.

Benjamin Holden Everett

Person Name: B. H. Everett Composer of "TABOR" in The Brethren Hymnal Born: Early 19th Century, Virginia. Brother of Asa Everett & Leonard Everett, Benjamin studied music in Boston, Massachusetts. He helped his brother Asa compile The Sceptre in 1871. —www.hymntime.com/tch/

Joseph Haydn

1732 - 1809 Person Name: Haydn Composer of "MANOAH" in The Standard Church Hymnal Franz Joseph Haydn (b. Rohrau, Austria, 1732; d. Vienna, Austria, 1809) Haydn's life was relatively uneventful, but his artistic legacy was truly astounding. He began his musical career as a choirboy in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, spent some years in that city making a precarious living as a music teacher and composer, and then served as music director for the Esterhazy family from 1761 to 1790. Haydn became a most productive and widely respected composer of symphonies, chamber music, and piano sonatas. In his retirement years he took two extended tours to England, which resulted in his "London" symphonies and (because of G. F. Handel's influence) in oratorios. Haydn's church music includes six great Masses and a few original hymn tunes. Hymnal editors have also arranged hymn tunes from various themes in Haydn's music. Bert Polman

Thomas Tallis

1505 - 1585 Person Name: Thomas Tallis, c. 1520-1585 Composer of "TALLIS'S ORDINAL" in The Book of Praise Thomas Tallis (b. Leicestershire [?], England, c. 1505; d. Greenwich, Kent, England 1585) was one of the few Tudor musicians who served during the reigns of Henry VIII: Edward VI, Mary, and Elizabeth I and managed to remain in the good favor of both Catholic and Protestant monarchs. He was court organist and composer from 1543 until his death, composing music for Roman Catholic masses and Anglican liturgies (depending on the monarch). With William Byrd, Tallis also enjoyed a long-term monopoly on music printing. Prior to his court connections Tallis had served at Waltham Abbey and Canterbury Cathedral. He composed mostly church music, including Latin motets, English anthems, settings of the liturgy, magnificats, and two sets of lamentations. His most extensive contrapuntal work was the choral composition, "Spem in alium," a work in forty parts for eight five-voice choirs. He also provided nine modal psalm tunes for Matthew Parker's Psalter (c. 1561). Bert Polman
