Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #777 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: The Lord is here! His promised word Lyrics: 1 The Lord is here! His promised word is evermore the same, himself to be where two or three are gathered in his name. 2 The Lord is here! Where Christ is come his spirit too is there, with all who raise the song of praise or breathe the voice of prayer. 3 The Lord is here! He comes in peace with blessings from above, by pledge and sign of bread and wine to fold us in his love. 4 The Lord is here! To every soul this gift of grace be given, to walk the way of Christ today, and share the life of heaven. Topics: Lord’s Supper Scripture: Matthew 18:20 Languages: English Tune Title: CRIMOND

David Grant

1833 - 1893 Arranger of "CRIMOND" in The Worshiping Church

Jessie Seymour Irvine

1836 - 1887 Person Name: Jessie S. Irvine Composer of "CRIMOND" in The Worshiping Church Jessie Seymour Irvine United Kingdom 1836-1887. Born at Dunnottar, Kincardineshire, Scotland, the daughter of a parish minister of the Church of Scotland who served at Dunottar, Peterhead, and Crimond in Aberdeenshire, she became an organist, in training at the town of Banff. In 1871, while living in Crimond, she composed a tune for the metrical version of Psalm 23 as an exercise for a composition class. It was first performed at evening worship at Auchterless Parish Church. Not satisfied with her own work, she asked for help to reharmonize it from musician, David Grant, from Aberdeen. At the time, Grant was collaborating with associates compiling hymns and metrical Psalms from across north Scotland intending to publish them in a new hymnal. “The Northern Psalter” was published in 1872, became popular, and over 70,000 copies were sold. For years the hymn tune was credited to Grant, but Jessie’s sister wrote a letter to the hymnal editors claiming her sister wrote the tune, harmonized by Grant. She is now credited by most as the original composer. She died in Aberdeen, Scotland. She is commemorated by a set of four etched glass panels installed inside Crimond Parish Church in 2002. The hymn was played at Princess Elizabeth’s wedding (later Queen Elizabeth) to Philip Mountbatten in 1947. John Perry
