Robert Cruttenden

1691 - 1764 Person Name: Cruttenden Hymnal Number: 220 Author of "What jarring natures dwell within" in A New Selection of Nearly Eight Hundred Evangelical Hymns, from More than 200 Authors in England, Scotland, Ireland, & America, including a great number of originals, alphabetically arranged Cruttenden, Robert, born cir. 1691, died cir. 1764. He was educated for the ministry among the Dissenters, and when a young man frequently preached for his uncle, the Rev. Mr. Bragg. But finding that he did not really believe in the Evangelical doctrines, he gave up the ministry, and betook himself to trade, in which for a number of years he was successful. In his 52nd year, having retired from business, he was living near to Whitefield's Tabernacle, when, his attention being excited by what he heard concerning the preaching there, a strong impulse seized him to go and hear for himself. The result was his conversion through the ministry of John Cennick. Twelve months later he joined a Congregational Church, of which he continued a member until his death, about 20 years subsequently. The narrative of his Experience, as read to this Church on his application for membership, was published in 1744, with a preface by Whitefield, and republished in 1790, with the addition of a letter from Mr. Cruttenden to Mr. Cennick. To this narrative his Psalms & Hymns, 17 in all, were appended. The full title of the Experience is too quaint to be omitted. It is:— "Sovereign Efficacious Grace displayed in the awakening and converting a Rational, Learned, Aged sinner, exemplified in the Experience of Robert Cruttenden, Esq., as delivered by himself to the Congregational Church, then meeting in Lime Street, near Leadenhall Market, 1743, in order to be admitted into their society. Published, prefaced and recommended by the late Rev. George Whitefield, 1744, as an extraordinary effect of the Divine Spirit. To which is prefixed a Letter from Mr. Cruttenden to Mr. Cennick, 1742. Also several Psalms, Hymns, &c., composed by him. Now particularly addressed to all rational Christians for their perusal. Lon¬don, printed and sold by T. Wilkins, Aldermanbury, MDCCXC." From his Psalms & Hymns in the Experience the following are still in common use:— 1. And is it yet, dear Lord, a doubt? Desiring to love God. 2. Did Jesus die, but not for me? Pardon through Jesus. 3. I own my guilt, my sins confess. Lent. 4. Let others boast their ancient line. Adoption. 5. Rise, Sun of glory, shine reveal'd. Happiness desired. 6. 'Tis false, thou vile accuser, go. Divine Mercy. 7. What adverse powers we feel within. Sin and Holiness. 8. What jarring natures dwell within. Sin and Holiness. This is part of No. 7. Cruttenden's hymns are full of Christian experience: some, as "Let others boast their ancient line," have a good deal of spirit, and the versification is usually smooth and flowing. [Rev. W. R. Stevenson, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

De Courcy, Richard

1743 - 1803 Person Name: DeCourcy Hymnal Number: 122 Author of "Jesus, at thy command" in A New Selection of Nearly Eight Hundred Evangelical Hymns, from More than 200 Authors in England, Scotland, Ireland, & America, including a great number of originals, alphabetically arranged De Courcy, Richard, M.A., born in Ireland in 1743, and educated at Trinity College, Dublin. Having received Deacon's Orders, he became, in 1767, Curate to the Rev. Walter Shirley; but his theological views being obnoxious to Dr. Smythe, the Archbishop of Dublin, he was refused Priest's Orders and inhibited from preaching. These circumstances led to his being invited by Lady Huntingdon to England, and his joining her band of preachers. After some time, through Lady Huntingdon's influence, he obtained Priest's Orders from the Bishop of Lichfield. In 1770 he became Curate of Shawbury, Salop, and in 1774 Vicar of St. Alkmond's, Shrewsbury. The latter he retained to his death in 1803. His theological views, work, and other matters concerning him, are dwelt upon with some detail in the Life and Times of the Countess of Huntingdon, 1839. His published works include Some Elegiac Lines on the Death of the Rev. G. Whitefield, 1771; Christ Crucified, a reply to Dr. Priestley, in 2 vols., 1791; and various Sermons, &c. In 1775 he also published:— A Collection of Psalms and Hymns Extracted from different Authors, with a Preface by Mr. De Courcy, Shrewsbury, 1775. (Preface dated "Shrewsbury, December 6, 1775.") To the 2nd ed. of this Collection, published in 1782, several hymns were added, amongst which the following are by common consent attributed to De Courcy: — 1. Angels who the throne surround. Praise of Christ. 2. Hark! from heaven a voice I hear. Burial. 3. Jesus the Saint's perpetual theme. Christ, the Rose of Sharon. 4. Lord, I thank Thee for Thy grace. Thanksgiving for Salvation. 5. Mount, my soul, to things above. Looking Heavenward. These hymns are attributed to De Courcy on the ground that they cannot be found in any collection or work published before his Collection, and that they have never been claimed by or on behalf of any other hymn-writer. All the hymns in his Collection were published anonymously. Other hymns, sometimes attributed to him, have been traced to earlier hymn-books, and are consequently omitted from the foregoing list. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
