O, for a Faith that Will Not Shrink
Author: William H. Bathurst Hymnal: Favorite Hymns of Praise #6 (1967) Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink,
Tho' pressed by every foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe!--
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chastening rod,
But, in the hour of grief or pain,
Will lean upon its God;--
3 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without;
That when in danger knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt.--
4 Lord, give us such a faith as this,
And then, whate’er may come,
We’ll taste, e’en here, the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home. Topics: Christ Character; Christ Character Languages: English Tune Title: [O, for a faith that will not shrink]

Oh, for a Faith That Will Not Shrink
Author: William H. Bathurst Hymnal: Praise and Worship #79 (1951) Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a faith that will not shrink,
Tho' pressed by ev'ry foe
That will not tremble on the brink
Or any earthly woe.
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chast'ning rod
But, in the hour of grief or pain,
Will lean upon its God.
3 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without;
That when in danger knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt.
4 Lord, give us such a faith as this;
And then, whate'er may come,
We'll taste, e'en here, the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home. Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh, for a faith that will not shrink]
Oh, for a Faith That Will Not Shrink
O for a faith that will not shrink
Author: W. H. Bathurst Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #243 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink,
Though pressed by many a foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe,
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chastening rod,
But, in the hour of grief or pain,
Will lean upon its God;
3 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without;
That when in danger knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt;
4 That bears unmoved the world’s dread frown,
Nor heeds its scornful smile;
That seas of trouble cannot drown,
Nor Satan’s arts beguile;
5 A faith that keeps the narrow way
Till life’s last hour is fled,
And with a pure and heavenly ray
Lights up a dying bed!
6 Lord, give us such a faith as this,
And then, whate’er may come,
We’ll taste e’en here, the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home. Topics: The Church Year Fourth Sunday in Epiphany; The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Epiphany; Faith Tune Title: [O for a faith that will not shrink]

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Oh for a faith that will not shrink" in Songs for the Service of Prayer In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Hugh Wilson
1766 - 1824 Composer of "AVON" in The Seed Sower Hugh Wilson (b. Fenwick, Ayrshire, Scotland, c. 1766; d. Duntocher, Scotland, 1824) learned the shoemaker trade from his father. He also studied music and mathematics and became proficient enough in various subjects to become a part-time teacher to the villagers. Around 1800, he moved to Pollokshaws to work in the cotton mills and later moved to Duntocher, where he became a draftsman in the local mill. He also made sundials and composed hymn tunes as a hobby. Wilson was a member of the Secession Church, which had separated from the Church of Scotland. He served as a manager and precentor in the church in Duntocher and helped found its first Sunday school. It is thought that he composed and adapted a number of psalm tunes, but only two have survived because he gave instructions shortly before his death that all his music manuscripts were to be destroyed.

Samuel Webbe
1740 - 1816 Person Name: Samuel Webbe, 1740-1816 Composer of "LAMBETH" in Hymnal and Order of Service Samuel Webbe (the elder; b. London, England, 1740; d. London, 1816) Webbe's father died soon after Samuel was born without providing financial security for the family. Thus Webbe received little education and was apprenticed to a cabinetmaker at the age of eleven. However, he was determined to study and taught himself Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French, German, and Italian while working on his apprenticeship. He also worked as a music copyist and received musical training from Carl Barbant, organist at the Bavarian Embassy. Restricted at this time in England, Roman Catholic worship was freely permitted in the foreign embassies. Because Webbe was Roman Catholic, he became organist at the Portuguese Chapel and later at the Sardinian and Spanish chapels in their respective embassies. He wrote much music for Roman Catholic services and composed hymn tunes, motets, and madrigals. Webbe is considered an outstanding composer of glees and catches, as is evident in his nine published collections of these smaller choral works. He also published A Collection of Sacred Music (c. 1790), A Collection of Masses for Small Choirs (1792), and, with his son Samuel (the younger), Antiphons in Six Books of Anthems (1818).
