Author: Niceta of Remesiana Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #1 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Thee God, we praise, Thy name we bless, Thee Lord of all we do confess; The whole creation worships Thee, The Father of eternity. 2 To Thee aloud all angels cry, The heavens and all the powers on high, The cherubs and the seraphs join, And thus they hymn Thy praise divine: 3 O holy, holy, holy Lord, Thou God of hosts, by all adored; Earth and the heavens are full of Thee, Thy light, thy power, thy majesty. 4 The apostles join the glorious throng, The prophets swell the immortal song, The white-robed hosts of martyrs bright All serve and praise Thee day and night. 5 Thy holy Church in every place Throughout the world exalts Thy praise, And ever doth acknowledge Thee, Father of boundless majesty. 6 O God eternal, mighty King, We unto Thee or praises bring; And to Thy true and only Son, And Holy Spirit, Three in One. 7 O King of glory, Christ the Lord, God's everlasting Son--the Word, To rescue mankind from its doom, Thou didst our very flesh assume. 8 Thou overcamest death's sharp sting, Believers unto heaven to bring; At God's right hand, exalted there, Thou dost the Father's glory share. 9 And we believe Thou wilt descend To be our judge, when comes the end; Thy servants help, whom Thou, O God, Hast ransomed with Thy precious blood. 10 Among Thy saints let us be found With glory everlasting crowned; Thy people save from age to age, And bless Thy chosen heritage. 11 O guide them, lift them up for aye; We magnify Thee day by day, Thy name we worship and adore, World without end, for evermore. 12 Vouchsafe, O Lord, we humbly pray, To keep us safe from sin this day; O Lord, have mercy on us all, Have mercy on us, when we call. 13 Thy mercy, Lord, to us extend, As on Thy mercy we depend: Lord, I have put my trust in Thee, Confounded let me never be.

Louis Bourgeois

1510 - 1561 Person Name: L. Bourgeois, c. 1510-c.1561 Composer of "OLD HUNDREDTH" in Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary Louis Bourgeois (b. Paris, France, c. 1510; d. Paris, 1561). In both his early and later years Bourgeois wrote French songs to entertain the rich, but in the history of church music he is known especially for his contribution to the Genevan Psalter. Apparently moving to Geneva in 1541, the same year John Calvin returned to Geneva from Strasbourg, Bourgeois served as cantor and master of the choristers at both St. Pierre and St. Gervais, which is to say he was music director there under the pastoral leadership of Calvin. Bourgeois used the choristers to teach the new psalm tunes to the congregation. The extent of Bourgeois's involvement in the Genevan Psalter is a matter of scholarly debate. Calvin had published several partial psalters, including one in Strasbourg in 1539 and another in Geneva in 1542, with melodies by unknown composers. In 1551 another French psalter appeared in Geneva, Eighty-three Psalms of David, with texts by Marot and de Beze, and with most of the melodies by Bourgeois, who supplied thirty four original tunes and thirty-six revisions of older tunes. This edition was republished repeatedly, and later Bourgeois's tunes were incorporated into the complete Genevan Psalter (1562). However, his revision of some older tunes was not uniformly appreciated by those who were familiar with the original versions; he was actually imprisoned overnight for some of his musical arrangements but freed after Calvin's intervention. In addition to his contribution to the 1551 Psalter, Bourgeois produced a four-part harmonization of fifty psalms, published in Lyons (1547, enlarged 1554), and wrote a textbook on singing and sight-reading, La Droit Chemin de Musique (1550). He left Geneva in 1552 and lived in Lyons and Paris for the remainder of his life. Bert Polman
