Revive Thy Work

Hymnal: Christ in Song #711 (1908) First Line: Revive Thy work, O Lord, Thy mighty arm make bare Lyrics: 1 Revive Thy work, O Lord, Thy mighty arm make bare; Speak with the voice that wakes the dead, and make Thy people hear. 2 Revive Thy work, O Lord, disturb this sleep of death; Quicken the smould'ring embers now by Thine almighty breath. 3 Revive Thy work, O Lord, create soul-thirst for Thee; And hung'ring for the bread of life, oh, may our spirits be. 4 Revive Thy work, O Lord, exalt Thy precious name; And by the Holy Ghost our love for Thee and Thine inflame.

Henry J. Gauntlett

1805 - 1876 Composer of "ST. GEORGE" in The Hymnal Henry J. Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, July 9, 1805; d. London, England, February 21, 1876) When he was nine years old, Henry John Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, England, 1805; d. Kensington, London, England, 1876) became organist at his father's church in Olney, Buckinghamshire. At his father's insistence he studied law, practicing it until 1844, after which he chose to devote the rest of his life to music. He was an organist in various churches in the London area and became an important figure in the history of British pipe organs. A designer of organs for William Hill's company, Gauntlett extend­ed the organ pedal range and in 1851 took out a patent on electric action for organs. Felix Mendelssohn chose him to play the organ part at the first performance of Elijah in Birmingham, England, in 1846. Gauntlett is said to have composed some ten thousand hymn tunes, most of which have been forgotten. Also a supporter of the use of plainchant in the church, Gauntlett published the Gregorian Hymnal of Matins and Evensong (1844). Bert Polman

Joseph Barnby

1838 - 1896 Person Name: Joseph Barnby, 1838-1896 Composer of "MONSELL" in The Book of Praise Joseph Barnby (b. York, England, 1838; d. London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barnby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873). Bert Polman
