Rejoice and Be Merry

Hymnal: The Worshipbook #560 (1972) Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: Rejoice and be merry in songs and in mirth Lyrics: 1 Rejoice and be merry in songs and in mirth! O praise our Redeemer, all mortals on earth! For this is the birthday of Jesus our King, Who brought us salvation— his praises we'll sing! 2 A heavenly vision appeared in the sky; Vast numbers of angels the shepherds did spy, Proclaiming the birthday of Jesus our King, Who brought us salvation— his praises we'll sing! 3 Likewise a bright star in the sky did appear, Which led the Wise Men from the east to draw near; They found the Messiah, sweet Jesus our King, Who brought us salvation— his praises we'll sing! 4 And when they were come, they their treasures unfold, And unto him offered myrrh, incense and gold. So blessed for ever be Jesus our King, Who brought us salvation— his praises we'll sing! Topics: Christian Year Advent; Christian Year Christmas; Christian Year Epiphany Tune Title: GALLERY CAROL

Martin Shaw

1875 - 1958 Arranger of "GALLERY CAROL" in The Worshipbook Martin F. Shaw was educated at the Royal College of Music in London and was organist and choirmaster at St. Mary's, Primrose Hill (1908-1920), St. Martin's in the Fields (1920-1924), and the Eccleston Guild House (1924-1935). From 1935 to 1945 he served as music director for the diocese of Chelmsford. He established the Purcell Operatic Society and was a founder of the Plainsong and Medieval Society and what later became the Royal Society of Church Music. Author of The Principles of English Church Music Composition (1921), Shaw was a notable reformer of English church music. He worked with Percy Dearmer (his rector at St. Mary's in Primrose Hill); Ralph Vaughan Williams, and his brother Geoffrey Shaw in publishing hymnals such as Songs of Praise (1925, 1931) and the Oxford Book of Carols (1928). A leader in the revival of English opera and folk music scholarship, Shaw composed some one hundred songs as well as anthems and service music; some of his best hymn tunes were published in his Additional Tunes in Use at St. Mary's (1915).
