All Hail! Happy Day
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 11.9.11.9 Appears in 48 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All hail! happy day,
When enrobed in our clay,
The Redeemer appeared upon earth:
How can we refrain
For to join the glad strain,
And to hail our Immanuel’s birth?
2 How boundless that love,
First begotten above,
And through Jesus to sinners made known?
Lift, lift up the voice,
And exulting rejoice,
For Jehovah to earth is come down.
3 Ye angels of God,
Sound His praises abroad,
And acknowledge Him Jah, the I Am:
We also will join
In a hymn so divine,
Giving glory to God and the Lamb.
4 To Christ we will sing,
As our high priest and king,
And our prophet to teach us the road:
But more than all this,
For almighty He is,
And we own Him our crucified God!
5 To Jesus’ praise
Let us spend all our days,
For ’tis He our surety has stood:
He sojourned below,
That His mercy might flow,
And He purchased our pardon with blood!
6 O may the return
Of this once blessèd morn,
Be for ever remembered with joy
Sweet accents of praise,
All our voices shall raise,
Hallelujahs shall be our employ.
7 Let echo prolong,
The harmonious song,
Hallelujahs again and again:
He kindles the fire,
Whom the nations desire;
And to Him we devote the glad strain.
8 Blest Jesus, while we
Pay our tribute to Thee,
Let us worship, admire, and adore,
Accept as Thy crown,
What before was Thy own,
Hallelujahs and praise evermore. Used With Tune: SANTA CLARITA Text Sources: A Pocket Hymn Book (Philadelphia: Pirchard & Hall, 1788)

We under their pinions are hiding.

The quivering dove Thou protectest;
Thou givest us being, eternal and blest,
In mercy our life Thou perfectest.

Jacques Berthier
1923 - 1994 Meter: 11.9.11.9 Composer of "WITH YOU" in Worship and Song Jacques Berthier (b. Auxerre, Burgundy, June 27, 1923; d. June 27, 1994) A son of musical parents, Berthier studied music at the Ecole Cesar Franck in Paris. From 1961 until his death he served as organist at St. Ignace Church, Paris. Although his published works include numerous compositions for organ, voice, and instruments, Berthier is best known as the composer of service music for the Taizé community near Cluny, Burgundy. Influenced by the French liturgist and church musician Joseph Gelineau, Berthier began writing songs for equal voices in 1955 for the services of the then nascent community of twenty brothers at Taizé. As the Taizé community grew, Berthier continued to compose most of the mini-hymns, canons, and various associated instrumental arrangements, which are now universally known as the Taizé repertoire. In the past two decades this repertoire has become widely used in North American church music in both Roman Catholic and Protestant traditions.

W. O. Cushing
1823 - 1902 Person Name: William O. Cushing Meter: 11.9.11.9 Author of "Ring the Bells of Heaven" in Baptist Hymnal 2008 Rv William Orcutt Cushing USA 1823-1902. Born at Hingham, MA, he read the Bible as a teenager and became a follower of the Orthodox Christian school of thought. At age 18 he decided to become a minister, following in his parents theology. His first pastorate was at the Christian Church, Searsburg, NY. He married Hena Proper in 1854. She was a great help to him throughout his ministry. He ministered at several NY locations over the years, including Searsburg, Auburn, Brookley, Buffalo, and Sparta. Hena died in 1870, and he returned to Searsburg, again serving as pastor there. Working diligently with the Sunday school, he was dearly beloved by young and old. Soon after, he developed a creeping paralysis that caused him to lose his voice. He retired from ministry after 27 years. He once gave all his savings ($1000) to help a blind girl receive an education. He was instrumental in the erection of the Seminary at Starkey, NY. He gave material aid to the school for the blind at Batavia. He was mindful of the suffering of others, but oblivious to his own. After retiring, he asked God to give him something to do. He discovered he had a talent for writing and kept busy doing that. He authored about 300 hymn lyrics. The last 13 years of his life he lived with Rev. and Mrs. E. E Curtis at Lisbon Center, NY, and joined with the Wesleyan Methodist Church there. He died at Searsburg, NY.
