Behold what wondrous grace
The praises of my tongue
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Divine and Moral Songs #HVIII (1866) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics:
The praises of my tongue
I offer to the Lord,
That I was taught and learnt so young
To read his holy Word.
40
That I am taught to know
The danger I was in;
By nature, and by practice too,
A wretched slave to sin.
That I am led to see
I can do nothing well;
And whither shall a sinner flee,
To save himself from hell?
Dear Lord, this book of thine
Informs me where to go,
For grace to pardon all my sin,
And make me holy too.
41
Here I can read and learn
How Christ, the Son of God,
Did undertake our great concern;
Our ransom cost his blood.
And now he reigns above,
He sends his Spirit down,
To show the wonders of his love,
And make his Gospel known.
O may that Spirit teach,
And make my heart receive
Those truths which all thy servants preach,
And all thy saints believe.
42
Then shall I praise the Lord
In a more cheerful strain,
That I was taught to read his Word,
And have not learnt in vain.

The praises of my tongue
There is beyond the sky
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Divine and Moral Songs #HXI (1866) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics:
There is beyond the sky
A heaven of joy and love;
And holy children, when they die,
Go to that world above.
48
There is a dreadful hell,
And everlasting pains:
There sinners must with devils dwell
In darkness, fire, and chains.
Can such a wretch as I
Escape this cursed end?
And may I hope, whene’er I die,
I shall to heaven ascend?
Then will I read and pray,
While I have life and breath,
Lest I should be cut off to–day,
And sent t’ eternal death.

Hosanna to the Son
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Divine and Moral Songs #HXXXV (1866) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics:
Hosanna to the Son
Of David and of God!
Who brought the news of pardon down,
And bought it with his blood!
To Christ, th’ anointed King,
Be endless blessings given:
Let the whole earth his glory sing
Who made our peace with heaven.

========================
Dix, William Chatterton, son of John Dix, surgeon, of Bristol, author of the Life of Chatterton; Local Legends, &c, born at Bristol, June 14, 1837, and educated at the Grammar School of that city. Mr. Chatterton Dix's contributions to modern hymnody are numerous and of value. His fine Epiphany hymn, "As with gladness men of old,” and his plaintive ”Come unto Me, ye weary," are examples of his compositions, many of which rank high amongst modern hymns. In his Hymns of Love and Joy, 1861, Altar Songs, Verses on the Holy Eucharist, 1867; Vision of All Saints, &c, 1871; and Seekers of a City, 1878, some of his compositions were first published. The greater part, however, were contributed to Hymns Ancient & Modern; St. Raphaels Hymnbook, 1861; Lyra Eucharidica, 1863; Lyra Messianica, 1864; Lyra Mystica, 1865; The People's Hymns, 1867; The Hymnary, 1872; Church Hymns, 1871, and others. Many of his contributions are renderings in metrical form of Dr. Littledale's translation from the Greek in his Offices . . . of the Holy Eastern Church, 1863; and of the Rev. J. M. Rodwell's translation of hymns of the Abyssinian Church. These renderings of the "songs of other Churches" have not received the attention they deserve, and the sources from whence they come are practically unknown to most hymnal compilers. Mr. Dix has also written many Christmas and Easter carols, the most widely known of which is "The Manger Throne." In addition to detached pieces in prose and verse for various magazines, he has published two devotional works, Light; and The Risen Life, 1883; and a book of instructions for children entitled The Pattern Life, 1885.

Richard Redhead
1820 - 1901 Person Name: Richard Redhead, 1820-1901 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Composer of "ALMA MATER" in The Cyber Hymnal Richard Redhead (b. Harrow, Middlesex, England, 1820; d. Hellingley, Sussex, England, 1901) was a chorister at Magdalen College, Oxford. At age nineteen he was invited to become organist at Margaret Chapel (later All Saints Church), London. Greatly influencing the musical tradition of the church, he remained in that position for twenty-five years as organist and an excellent trainer of the boys' choirs. Redhead and the church's rector, Frederick Oakeley, were strongly committed to the Oxford Movement, which favored the introduction of Roman elements into Anglican worship. Together they produced the first Anglican plainsong psalter, Laudes Diurnae (1843). Redhead spent the latter part of his career as organist at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Paddington (1864-1894).
