In Christ There Is No East or West
Author: Michael A. Perry Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In Christ there is no east or west,
in him no pride of birth;
the chosen fam'ly God has blessed
now spans the whole wide earth.
2 For God in Christ has made us one
from ev'ry land and race;
he reconciled us through his Son
and met us with his grace.
3 It is by grace we are assured
that we belong to him;
the love we share in Christ our Lord,
the Spirit works within.
4 So, brothers, sisters, praise his name
who died to set us free
from sin, division, hate, and shame,
from spite and enmity.
5 In Christ there is no east or west--
he breaks all barriers down;
by Christ redeemed, by Christ possessed,
in Christ we live as one. Topics: Church As Communion of Saints; Church As Kingdom of God; Church Unity of Scripture: Luke 13:29 Used With Tune: McKEE

Blessed Jesus, at Your Word
Author: Tobias Clausnitzer; Anon.; Catherine Winkworth; Anon. Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 146 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, at your word
we are gathered all to hear you;
let our hearts and souls be stirred
now to seek and love and fear you,
by your teachings sweet and holy,
drawn from earth to love you solely.
2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight
lie in deepest darkness shrouded,
'til your Spirit breaks our night
with the beams of truth unclouded.
You alone to God can win us;
you must work all good within us.
3 Glorious Lord, yourself impart,
Light of light, from God proceeding;
open now our ears and heart,
help us by your Spirit's pleading;
hear the cry your people raises,
hear and bless our prayers and praises.
4 Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
praise to you and adoration!
Grant that we your Word may trust
and obtain true consolation,
while we here below must wander,
'til we sing your praises yonder.

That Man Is Blest
Hymnal: TPH2018 #1A (2018) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: That man is blest who, fearing God Lyrics: 1 That man is blest who, fearing God,
from sin restrains his feet,
who will not stand with wicked men,
who shuns the scorners' seat.
2 Yea, blest is he who makes God's law
his portion and delight,
and meditates upon that law
with gladness day and night.
3 That man is nourished like a tree
set by the river's side;
its leaf is green, its fruit is sure,
and thus his works abide.
4 The wicked, like the driven chaff,
are swept from off the land;
they shall not gather with the just,
nor in the judgment stand.
5 The Lord will guard the righteous well,
their way to him is known;
the way of sinners, far from God,
shall surely be o'erthrown.

Thomas Jarman
1776 - 1861 Hymnal Number: 358 Composer of "LYNGHAM" in Trinity Psalter Hymnal Thomas Jarman was born on 21st December 1776 in Clipston, a small village near the northern border of the County of Northampton. His father was not only a Baptist lay preacher, but also a tailor, and Thomas was brought up in the same trade, although his brother, John, followed his father’s calling to become a minister.
His natural taste for music, however, considerably interfered with his work, and he was frequently reduced to dire straits, from which only the extreme liberality of his publishers relieved him. He was a man of fine, commanding presence, but self-willed, and endowed with a considerable gift of irony, as choirs frequently found to their cost. Weston quotes from Kant that Jarman neglected his work and ‘this kept him poor and soured his temper’.
He joined the choir of the Baptist chapel in his native village when quite a youth, and soon became the choirmaster there. He adopted music as a profession (with occasional returns to his old trade), and was engaged as teacher of harmony and singing in many of the neighbouring villages. He was a successful choir-trainer, spending several years at Leamington, and conducted concerts as well as services, for which he was ‘constantly composing works’. The village choir festival held under his direction at Naseby, in 1837, is said to have been the talk of the district for long after. He spent some six or seven years at Leamington, during which time he enjoyed the friendship of C. Rider, a wealthy Methodist who did much good for the psalmody of Lancashire and elsewhere some fifty or sixty years ago.
Jarman published an enormous quantity of music, including over six hundred hymn-tunes, besides anthems, services, and similar pieces.
Amongst his many anthems written for special occasions there is one for the opening of the new Baptist chapel at Clipston. Another is a MAGNIFICAT for Dr Marsh's Episcopal chapel at Leamington, where Thomas Jarman was called to assist the quire in their study and performance of psalmody.
Thomas Jarman lived to the good old age of eighty-five, dying in 1861, and lies buried in the graveyard attached to the Baptist chapel at Clipston in Northants.

George Duffield
1818 - 1888 Hymnal Number: 542 Author of "Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus" in Trinity Psalter Hymnal Duffield, George, Jr., D.D., son of the Rev. Dr. Duffield, a Presbyterian Minister, was born at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Sept. 12, 1818, and graduated at Yale College, and at the Union Theological Seminary, New York. From 1840 to 1847 he was a Presbyterian Pastor at Brooklyn; 1847 to 1852, at Bloomfield, New Jersey; 1852 to 1861, at Philadelphia; 1861 to 1865, at Adrian, Michigan; 1865 to 1869, at Galesburg, Illinois; 1869, at Saginaw City, Michigan; and from 1869 at Ann Arbor and Lansing, Michigan. His hymns include;—
1. Blessed Saviour, Thee I love. Jesus only. One of four hymns contributed by him to Darius E. Jones's Temple Melodies, 1851. It is in 6 stanzas of 6 lines. In Dr. Hatfield's Church Hymnbook it is given in 3 stanzas. The remaining three hymns of the same date are:—
2. Parted for some anxious days. Family Hymn.
3. Praise to our heavenly Father, God. Family Union.
4. Slowly in sadness and in tears. Burial.
5. Stand up, stand up for Jesus. Soldiers of the Cross. The origin of this hymn is given in Lyra Sac. Americana, 1868, p. 298, as follows:—
"I caught its inspiration from the dying words of that noble young clergyman, Rev. Dudley Atkins Tyng, rector of the Epiphany Church, Philadelphia, who died about 1854. His last words were, ‘Tell them to stand up for Jesus: now let us sing a hymn.' As he had been much persecuted in those pro-slavery days for his persistent course in pleading the cause of the oppressed, it was thought that these words had a peculiar significance in his mind; as if he had said, ‘Stand up for Jesus in the person of the downtrodden slave.' (Luke v. 18.)"
Dr. Duffield gave it, in 1858, in manuscript to his Sunday School Superintendent, who published it on a small handbill for the children. In 1858 it was included in The Psalmist, in 6 stanzas of 8 lines. It was repeated in several collections and in Lyra Sac. Amer., 1868, from whence it passed, sometimes in an abbreviated form, into many English collections. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]
