Saviour, We Are Young and Weak
Author: T. A. Stowell Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Saviour, we are young and weak,
Yet we have a race to run;
Glorious is the crown we seek;
Hard the fight that must be won;
Lest we faint and lest we flee,
Keep us ever near to Thee.
2 Many are our foes and strong,
Foes without, and foes within,
Great temptations to go wrong,
And an evil heart of sin;
We shall surely conquered be
If we keep not close to Thee.
3 When the dark and cloudy day
Comes to bow our hearts in grief,
Earthly comforts pass away,
Earthly hopes give no relief;
To Thy bosom we will flee,
Clinging ever near to Thee.
4 Then the prize of victory won,
And the weary contest o’er,
We shall hear the glad “Well done,”
Greet us on the heavenly shore.
And tho’ all eternity,
Evermore be near to Thee. Topics: Children's Services Used With Tune: STOWELL

1831 - 1916 Person Name: T. A. Stowell Author of "Saviour, We Are Young and Weak" in Gloria Deo T. Alfred Stowell, M.A.; Queen’s College, Oxford; rector of Chorley; hon. canon of Manchester Cathedral; and rural dean of Leyland
=======================
Stowell, Thomas Alfred, M.A., son of Canon H. Stowell, was born at Salford, July 15, 1831. He was Bridgman Exhibitioner at Queen's College, Oxford, 1853, and B.A. in honours in 1855. Taking Holy Orders in 1857, he became Curate of Bolton, Diocese of Ripon, 1857-60; Incumbent of St. Stephen's, Bowling, Bradford, 1860-65; and then Rector of Christ Church, Salford, in succession to his father, 1865. He was also appointed Rural Dean of Salford in 1876, and Hon. Canon in Manchester Cathedral in 1879. Canon T. A. Stowell has published The Church Catechism simply and clearly explained, 1882, various Sermons, papers on Education, &c. Most of his hymns were written for the Anniversary Sermons of Christ Church Sunday Schools, Salford (nearly 2000 children), and include:—
1. Blessed Saviour, hear us when we cry. 1872.
2. Happy were those mothers. 1866.
3. In God's holy dwelling. 1873.
4. Lord, on Thy day, within Thy holy dwelling. 1877.
5. Lord, Thy children lowly bending. 1875.
6. My Saviour, be thou near me, When I lie down, &c. 1874.
7. O Jesus [Saviour] we have promised Henceforth to be Thine Own. Confirmation. 1877.
8. Sweet day of rest which God has given. Sunday. 1868.
9. While the sun is shining. Work. 1869.
These 9 hymns are in Canon T. A. Stowell's 1877 ed. of his father's Selection and of these Nos. 3 and 9 are the most popular.
He is also the author of:—
10. Come, Christian youths and maidens. Sunday School Anniversary. In Mrs. Brock's Children's Hymn Book, 1881, and others.
11. Early the holy women came. Easter. In the Church Monthly, April, 1888.
12. Remember thy Creator. Youthful Piety. In the Church S. School Magazine , Feb. 1888.
13. Saviour, we are young and weak. The Christian Race. In Mrs. Brock's Children's Hymn Book, 1881.
Several of these are popular hymns for children, and will no doubt gradually come into somewhat extensive use.
