The Hidden Years At Nazareth

Author: Allen E. Cross Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: The hidden years at Nazareth! Lyrics: 1 The hidden years at Nazareth! How deep and still they seem, Like rivers flowing in the dark, Or waters in a dream! Like waters under Syrian stars Reflecting lights above, Repeating in their silent depths The wonder of God’s love. 2 The hidden years at Nazareth! How deep and true they lie, As open to the smile of God As to the Syrian sky! As open to the heart of man As to the genial sun, With dreams of vast adventuring, And deeds of kindness done! 3 The hidden years at Nazareth! How radiant they rise, With life and death in balance laid Before a Lad’s clear eyes! O soul of youth, forever choose, Forgetting fate or fear, To live for truth or die with God, Who stands beside thee here! Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM

London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873). Bert Polman
