Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #2 (1987) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Wherefore do the nations rage and the people vainly dream that in triumph they can wage war against the LORD supreme? His Anointed they deride, and the rulers, plotting, say, "Their dominion be defied, let us cast their bonds away." 2 But the Lord will scorn them all; calm, he sits enthroned on high. Soon his wrath will on them fall; angered, he will then reply, "Yet according to my will I have set my King to reign, and on Zion's holy hill my Anointed I maintain." 3 My LORD speaks, "You are my Son; yes, I have begotten you. I will give you every one of the nations as your due. From your rule, now let them learn: break them with an iron rod, dash them like a potter's urn, crush those enemies of God." 4 Therefore, rulers, kings, come near, listen to God's holy word. Come with reverence, come with fear. Kiss the Son and serve the LORD, lest his anger quickly flame and you perish in your way. All are blest who trust in him; yes, supremely blest are they.

All the earth at Thy request I will give Thee for Thy own; then Thy might shall be confessed and Thy foes be overthrown." 4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear; hearken, judges of the earth; learn to serve the Lord with fear, mingle trembling with your mirth. Kiss the Son, lest o'er our way His consuming wrath should break; but supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Wherefore do the nations rage]" in Bible Songs No. 4 Pseudonyms: C. D. Emerson, Charlotte G. Homer, S. B. Jackson, A. W. Lawrence, Jennie Ree ============= For the first seventeen years of his life Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (b. Wilton, IA, 1856; d. Los Angeles, CA, 1932) lived on an Iowa farm, where friends and neighbors often gathered to sing. Gabriel accompanied them on the family reed organ he had taught himself to play. At the age of sixteen he began teaching singing in schools (following in his father's footsteps) and soon was acclaimed as a fine teacher and composer. He moved to California in 1887 and served as Sunday school music director at the Grace Methodist Church in San Francisco. After moving to Chicago in 1892, Gabriel edited numerous collections of anthems, cantatas, and a large number of songbooks for the Homer Rodeheaver, Hope, and E. O. Excell publishing companies. He composed hundreds of tunes and texts, at times using pseudonyms such as Charlotte G. Homer. The total number of his compositions is estimated at about seven thousand. Gabriel's gospel songs became widely circulated through the Billy Sunday-Homer Rodeheaver urban crusades. Bert Polman

Joseph Parry

1841 - 1903 Composer of "ABERYSTWYTH" in Psalms and Hymns to the Living God Joseph Parry (b. Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorganshire, Wales, 1841; d. Penarth, Glamorganshire, 1903) was born into a poor but musical family. Although he showed musical gifts at an early age, he was sent to work in the puddling furnaces of a steel mill at the age of nine. His family immigrated to a Welsh settlement in Danville, Pennsylvania in 1854, where Parry later started a music school. He traveled in the United States and in Wales, performing, studying, and composing music, and he won several Eisteddfodau (singing competition) prizes. Parry studied at the Royal Academy of Music and at Cambridge, where part of his tuition was paid by interested community people who were eager to encourage his talent. From 1873 to 1879 he was professor of music at the Welsh University College in Aberystwyth. After establishing private schools of music in Aberystwyth and in Swan sea, he was lecturer and professor of music at the University College of South Wales in Cardiff (1888-1903). Parry composed oratorios, cantatas, an opera, orchestral and chamber music, as well as some four hundred hymn tunes. Bert Polman

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy

1809 - 1847 Person Name: Mendelssohn Composer of "MENDELSSOHN" in Psalter Hymnal (Red) Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (b. Hamburg, Germany, 1809; d. Leipzig, Germany, 1847) was the son of banker Abraham Mendelssohn and the grandson of philosopher Moses Mendelssohn. His Jewish family became Christian and took the Bartholdy name (name of the estate of Mendelssohn's uncle) when baptized into the Lutheran church. The children all received an excellent musical education. Mendelssohn had his first public performance at the age of nine and by the age of sixteen had written several symphonies. Profoundly influenced by J. S. Bach's music, he conducted a performance of the St. Matthew Passion in 1829 (at age 20!) – the first performance since Bach's death, thus reintroducing Bach to the world. Mendelssohn organized the Domchor in Berlin and founded the Leipzig Conservatory of Music in 1843. Traveling widely, he not only became familiar with various styles of music but also became well known himself in countries other than Germany, especially in England. He left a rich treasury of music: organ and piano works, overtures and incidental music, oratorios (including St. Paul or Elijah and choral works, and symphonies. He harmonized a number of hymn tunes himself, but hymnbook editors also arranged some of his other tunes into hymn tunes. Bert Polman
