Have We Any Gift Worth Giving

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Have we any gift worth giving to the Giver of all things? What would please the ever-living, one true God from whom life springs? Not dead gold or merchandise, but a living sacrifice: worship both profound and freeing, serving God 2 Christ by costly incarnation dwelt in human time and place to reveal to all creation God’s redeeming love and grace; so are we in flesh and bone given means of making known through the web of daily living God’s own pattern of self-giving. 3 Let us shun the selfish merit worldly wisdom has defined, but renewed by God’s own Spirit be transformed in heart and mind; by past mercies taught and led, let us seek the path ahead, trusting that, like those before us, God will guide us and restore us.

Hal H. Hopson

b. 1933 Person Name: Hal Hopson, b. 1933 Hymnal Number: 284 Composer (descant) of "AR HYD Y NOS" in Sing! A New Creation Hal H. Hopson (b. Texas, 1933) is a prolific composer, arranger, clinician, teacher and promoter of congregational song, with more than 1300 published works, especially of hymn and psalm arrangements, choir anthems, and creative ideas for choral and organ music in worship. Born in Texas, with degrees from Baylor University (BA, 1954), and Southern Baptist Seminary (MSM, 1956), he served churches in Nashville, TN, and most recently at Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church in Dallas, Texas. He has served on national boards of the Presbyterian Association of Musicians and the Choristers Guild, and taught numerous workshops at various national conferences.

Joseph Haydn

1732 - 1809 Person Name: Franz J. Haydn, 1732-1809 Hymnal Number: 88 Composer of "CREATION" in Sing! A New Creation Franz Joseph Haydn (b. Rohrau, Austria, 1732; d. Vienna, Austria, 1809) Haydn's life was relatively uneventful, but his artistic legacy was truly astounding. He began his musical career as a choirboy in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, spent some years in that city making a precarious living as a music teacher and composer, and then served as music director for the Esterhazy family from 1761 to 1790. Haydn became a most productive and widely respected composer of symphonies, chamber music, and piano sonatas. In his retirement years he took two extended tours to England, which resulted in his "London" symphonies and (because of G. F. Handel's influence) in oratorios. Haydn's church music includes six great Masses and a few original hymn tunes. Hymnal editors have also arranged hymn tunes from various themes in Haydn's music. Bert Polman

Marty Haugen

b. 1950 Person Name: Marty Haugen, b. 1950 Hymnal Number: 8 Author of "Gather Us In" in Sing! A New Creation Marty Haugen (b. 1950), is a prolific liturgical composer with many songs included in hymnals across the liturgical spectrum of North American hymnals and beyond, with many songs translated into different languages. He was raised in the American Lutheran Church, received a BA in psychology from Luther College, yet found his first position as a church musician in a Roman Catholic parish at a time when the Roman Catholic Church was undergoing profound liturgical and musical changes after Vatican II. Finding a vocation in that parish to provide accessible songs for worship, he continued to compose and to study, receiving an MA in pastoral studies at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul Minnesota. A number of liturgical settings were prepared for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and more than 400 of his compositions are available from several publishers, especially GIA Publications, who also produced some 30 recordings of his songs. He is composer-in-residence at Mayflower Community Congregational Church in Minneapolis and continues to compose and travel to speak and teach at worship events around the world. Emily Brink
