Thou Lord of Hosts, whose guiding hand
Author: Octavius Brooke Frothingham, 1822 - 95 Appears in 45 hymnals Matching Instances: 45 Lyrics: 1 Thou Lord of Hosts, whose guiding hand
Hast brought us here before thy face,
Our spirits wait for thy command,
Our silent hearts implore thy peace. A-men.
2 Those spirits lay their noblest powers
As offerings on thy holy shrine:
Thine was the strength that nourished ours;
The soldiers of the cross are thine.

We saw thine angels round us move;
We heard thy call, we felt thy light,
And followed, trusting to thy love.

Through rugged toil and wearying fight;
Thy conquering love shall be our sword,
And faith in thee our truest might.

Thy truth, be that our firmest stay;
Our only rest, to do thy will.

Octavius B. Frothingham
1822 - 1895 Person Name: Octavius Brooke Frothingham, 1822 - 95 Author of "Thou Lord of Hosts, whose guiding hand" in Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America Frothingham, Octavius Brooks, M.A., son of Dr. N. L. Frothingham, was born at Boston, Nov. 26, 1822, and educated at Harvard, graduating in Arts, 1843, and in Theology, 1846. In 1847 he became Pastor at Salem, from whence he passed to Jersey City, 1855; and again to the 3rd Unitarian Society, New York, 1860.
His works are numerous and well known. Mr. Frothingham is known as a leader of the Free Religious movement. His hymn, "Thou Lord of Hosts, Whose guiding hand" (Soldiers of the Cross), was written for the Graduating Exercise of the class of 1846 (see also "God of the earnest heart"), and published in the same year in Longfellow and Johnson's Book of Hymns, No. 425. It has been adopted by Dr. Martineau in his Hymns of Praise & Prayer, 1873.

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Person Name: John B. Dykes Composer of "RIVAULX" in Hymns for the Living Age 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.
