Behold what wondrous grace

Behold what wondrous grace
Behold the Throne of Grace!
Author: John Newton Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 306 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold the throne of grace!
The promise calls me near:
there Jesus shows a smiling face,
and waits to answer prayer.
2 That rich atoning blood,
which sprinkled round we see,
provides for those who come to God
an all prevailing plea.
3 My soul, ask what thou wilt;
thou canst not be too bold;
since his own blood for thee he spilt,
what else can he withhold?
4 Beyond thy utmost wants
his love and pow'r can bless;
to praying souls he always grants
more than they can express.
5 Thine image, Lord, bestow,
thy presence and thy love;
I ask to serve thee here below,
and reign with thee above.
6 Teach me to live by faith;
conform my will to thine;
let me victorious be in death,
and then in glory shine. Topics: Christian Life; Faith Living by; Faith Prayer for ; Prayer; Prayer Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 Used With Tune: SCHUMANN

Hyde Wyndham Beadon
1812 - 1891 Author of "All Praise to Thee, O Lord" in The Hymnal and Order of Service Beadon, Hyde Wyndham, M.A., born in 1812, and educated at Eton and at St. John's College, Cambridge, B.A., 1835, M.A., 1839. Taking Holy Orders in 1836, he became, in 1837, Vicar of Haselbury Plucknett, near Crewkerne, and, in 1838, Vicar of Latton, Wilts. He is also Hon. Canon of Bristol, and Rural Dean. His hymns were published in The Parish Hymn Book , 1863 and 1875, of which he was co-editor with the Rev. G. Phillimore, and Bp. Woodford. To that collection, in 1863, he contributed the following hymns:—
1. Fierce was the storm of wind. Epiphany.
2. Glory to thee, 0 Lord, Who by, &c. Epiphany. This is usually given as, "All praise to Thee, 0 Lord,
Who by," &c, and is found in several hymnals.
3. 0 God, Thy soldiers' crown. A translation of "Deus tuorum militum" (q.v.). This is sometimes given as, "0 Christ," &c.
4. The Son of Man shall come. Epiphany.
The peculiarity of these hymns is that they are all in S.M. Their use is somewhat limited, with the exception of Nos. 1 and 2.

William John Blew
1808 - 1894 Person Name: The Rev. William John Blew, M.A. (1808- ) Author of "The day is past and gone" in The Packer Hymnal Blew, William John, M.A., son of William Blew, born April 13, 1808, and educated at Great Ealing School, and Wadham College, Oxford, where he graduated B.A. in 1830, and M.A., 1832. On taking Holy Orders, Mr. Blew was Curate of Nuthurst and Cocking, and St. Anne's, Westminster, and for a time Incumbent of St. John's next Gravesend. Besides translations from Homer (Iliad, bks. i., ii., &c.) and Æschylus (Agamemnon the King), and works on the Book of Common Prayer, including a paraphrase on a translation of the same in Latin, he edited the Breviarium Aherdonense, 1854; and published a pamphlet on Hymns and Hymn Books, 1858; and (with Dr. H. J. Gauntlett) The Church Hymn and Tune Book, 1852, 2nd ed. 1855. Tho hymns in this last work are chiefly translations by Mr. Blew of Latin hymns. They were written from 1845 to 1852, and printed on fly-sheets for the use of his congregation. Many of these translations have come into common use. The following original hymns were also contributed by him to the same work:—
1. Christ in the Father's glory bright. Morning.
2. God's ark is in the field. Evening. The second stanza of this hymn is from Bp. Cosin's Hours, in his Collection of Private Devotions, 1627.
3. Hark, through the dewy morning. Morning.
4. Lord of the golden day. Evening.
5. 0 Lord, Thy wing outspread. Whitsuntide.
6. 0 Thou, Who on Thy sainted quire. Whitsuntide.
7. Sleeper, awake, arise. Epiphany.
8. Sweet Babe, that wrapt in twilight. Epiphany.
9. Ye crowned kings, approach ye. Epiphany. This is written to the tune “Adeste fideles," and might easily be mistaken as a free translation of the "Adeste."
Mr. Blew has also translated The Altar Service of the Church of England, in the year 1548, into English. His translations are terse, vigorous, musical, and of great merit. They have been strangely overlooked by the compilers of recent hymn-books. He died Dec. 27, 1894.

Joseph Barnby
1838 - 1896 Composer of "[We give Thee but Thine own]" in Hymns of Faith Joseph Barnby (b. York, England, 1838; d. 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).
