Through my pilgrimage below,
And beside the waters lead me,

Never wander from thee more. Languages: English Tune Title: [Israel's Shepherd, guide me, feed me]

John Bickersteth
1781 - 1855 Author of "Heavenly Shepherd, guide us, feed us" in The School Hymnary Bickersteth, John, M.A., son of Henry Bickersteth, surgeon, born at Kirkby-Lonsdale, June, 19, 1781, and educated at the Grammar School of that town, and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated in honours. Taking Holy Orders, he became Vicar of Acton, Suffolk, and subsequently Rector of Sapcote, Leicestershire. He died Oct. 2, 1855. The Dean of Lichfield is his second, and the late Bishop of Ripon his fourth son. In 1819 he published Psalms and Hymns, selected and revised for Public, Social, Family, or Secret Devotion, in which his hymns were included. A fourth edition, much enlarged, appeared in 1832. Of his hymns contributed to his Collection in 1819, the following were transferred to his brother's Christian Psalmody, 1833:—
1. Great God, let children to Thy throne. S. Schools.
2. Hast Thou, holy Lord, Redeemer. H. Communion.
3. Israel's Shepherd, guide me, feed me. H. Communion.
and were thus brought into wider notice than through his own work. No. 3 is sometimes given as "Heavenly Shepherd, guide us, feed us," as in the American Unitarian Hymns of the Spirit, Boston, 1864.

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Person Name: J. B. Dykes Composer of "ST. SYLVESTER" in The School Hymnary As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern.

Edward Henry Bickersteth
1825 - 1906 Person Name: Edward H. Bickersteth Author of "Heavenly Shepherd, guide us, feed us" in Christian Praise Bickersteth, Edward Henry, D.D., son of Edward Bickersteth, Sr. born at Islington, Jan. 1825, and educated at Trinity College, Cambridge (B.A. with honours, 1847; M.A., 1850). On taking Holy Orders in 1848, he became curate of Banningham, Norfolk, and then of Christ Church, Tunbridge Wells. His preferment to the Rectory of Hinton-Martell, in 1852, was followed by that of the Vicarage of Christ Church, Hampstead, 1855. In 1885 he became Dean of Gloucester, and the same year Bishop of Exeter. Bishop Bickersteth's works, chiefly poetical, are:—
(l) Poems, 1849; (2) Water from the Well-spring, 1852; (3) The Rock of Ages, 1858 ; (4) Commentary on the New Testament, 1864; (5) Yesterday, To-day, and For Ever, 1867; (6) The Spirit of Life, 1868; (7) The Two Brothers and other Poems, 1871; (8) The Master's Home Call, 1872 ; (9) The Shadowed Home and the Light Beyond, 1874; (10) The Beef and other Parables, 1873; (11) Songs in the House of Pilgrimage, N.D.; (12) From Year to Year, 1883.
As an editor of hymnals, Bp. Bickersteth has also been most successful. His collections are:—
(1) Psalms & Hymns, 1858, based on his father's Christian Psalmody, which passed through several editions; (2) The Hymnal Companion, 1870; (3) The Hymnal Companion revised and enlarged, 1876. Nos. 2 and 3, which are two editions of the same collection, have attained to an extensive circulation. [Ch. of England Hymnody.]
About 30 of Bp. Bickersteths hymns are in common use. Of these the best and most widely known are:—" Almighty Father, hear our cry"; "Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile"; "Father of heaven above"; "My God, my Father, dost Thou call"; "O Jesu, Saviour of the lost"; "Peace, perfect peace"; "Rest in the Lord"; "Stand, Soldier of the Cross"; " Thine, Thine, for ever"; and "Till He come.” As a poet Bp. Bickersteth is well known. His reputation as a hymn-writer has also extended far and wide. Joined with a strong grasp of his subject, true poetic feeling, a pure rhythm, there is a soothing plaintiveness and individuality in his hymns which give them a distinct character of their own. His thoughts are usually with the individual, and not with the mass: with the single soul and his God, and not with a vast multitude bowed in adoration before the Almighty. Hence, although many of his hymns are eminently suited to congregational purposes, and have attained to a wide popularity, yet his finest productions are those which are best suited for private use.
