When Through the Whirl of Wheels
Author: Geoffrey A. Studdert-Kennedy Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7707 Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: When through the whirl of wheels, and engines humming Lyrics: 1. When through the whirl of wheels, and engines humming,
Patiently powerful for the sons of men,
Peals like a trumpet promise of His coming,
Who in the clouds is pledged to come again.
2. When through the night the furnace fires aflaring,
Shooting out tongues of flame like leaping blood,
Speak to the heart of love, alive, and daring,
Sing of the boundless energy of God.
3. When in the depths the patient miner striving
Feels in his arms the vigor of the Lord,
Strikes for a kingdom and his King’s arriving,
Holding his pick more splendid than the sword.
4. When on the sweat of labor and its sorrow,
Toiling in twilight flickering and dim,
Flames out the sunshine of the great tomorrow,
When all the world looks up because of Him.
5. Then will He come with meekness for His glory,
God in a workman’s jacket as before,
Living again th’eternal Gospel story,
Sweeping the shavings from His workshop floor. Languages: English Tune Title: LOMBARD STREET

Geoffrey Anketel Studdert Kennedy
1883 - 1929 Person Name: G. A. Studdert-Kennedy, 1883 - 1929 Author of "When through the whirl of wheels" in The Hymnary Born with Irish heritage to the vicarage in a deprived parish in Leeds. Studdert Kennedy got into Trinity College Dublin at the age of 14, though poverty meant he did not attend until later, graduating with a First Class degree. He was a popular teacher at Calday Grange Grammar School on the Wirral Peninsula before entering the Anglican Ministry; ordained in Worcester Cathedral in 1908 and married in 1914. He worked in deprived parishes: in Rugby, with his Father in Leeds and St Paul's in Worcester. He was known for his forgetfulness, his generosity (he famously gave away the marital bed to an old lady in need recruiting his wife to help carry the mattress) and his plain speaking.
He became a military chaplain (AKA the Padre) in 1915. He spent time with the men waiting to go to the Front speaking with them and offering to write letters home. He carried a large canvas sack of New Testaments and Woodbine Cigarettes to distribute, often staying on the trains up to the front well after they had left the station earning great popularity and the affectionate nickname Woodbine Willie. In 1917 he was awarded the Military Cross for fetching morphine for a first aid post on the Front while under bombardment and repeatedly going to help the wounded or bury the dead in No Man's Land. During the war his first collection of poetry "Rough Rhymes of a Padre" was published and he achieved widespread national fame. His poems did not shy from the horrors of war or questions of faith raised. He was always on the side of the 'ordinary man'.
After the war he continued in parish ministry before taking an itinerant role with the Industrial Christian Fellowship (still operating) where he proclaimed the gospel and fought for the disadvantaged. He died in Liverpool 1929 intending to keep a commitment despite exhaustion. His memorial in Worcester Cathedral says "A poet: a prophet: a passionate seeker after truth: an ardent advocate of Christian fellowship." His hymns are taken from his collections of verse later anthologised in The Unutterable Beauty (1927).
