Onward Speed Thy Conquering Flight

Author: Samuel F. Smith Meter: 7.5.7.5 D Appears in 53 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Onward speed thy conquering flight; Angel, onward speed; Cast abroad thy radiant light, Bid the shades recede; Tread the idols in the dust, Heathen fanes destroy, Spread the Gospel’s holy trust, Spread the Gospel’s joy. 2 Onward speed thy conquering flight; Angel, onward haste; Quickly on each mountain’s height Be thy standard placed; Let thy blissful tidings float Far o’er vale and hill, Till the sweetly echoing note Every bosom thrill. 3 Onward speed thy conquering flight; Angel, onward fly; Long has been the reign of night; Bring the morning nigh: ’Tis to thee the heathen lift Their imploring wail; Bear them Heaven’s holy gift, Ere their courage fail. 4 Onward speed thy conquering flight; Angel, onward speed; Morning bursts upon our sight— ’Tis the time decreed: Jesus now His kingdom takes, Thrones and empires fall, And the joyous song awakes, "God is all in all."

Paul's, Knightsbridge, London. He is the author of several volumes and tracts. --Annotations of the Hymnal, Charles Hutchins, M.A. 1872. ================== Tuttiett, Lawrence, son of John Tuttiett, surgeon in the R.N., was born at Cloyton, Devonshire, in 1825, and educated at Christ's Hospital, and King's College, London. It was originally purposed that he should follow the medical profession, but, abandoning it for the ministry, he took Holy Orders in 1848. In 1854 he became vicar of Lea Marston, Warwickshire; and in 1870 incumbent of the Episcopal Church of St. Andrews, Scotland. He was also preferred to a prebendaryship in St. Ninian's Cathedral, Perth, in 1880. He is the author of several manuals of prayers, published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge and other prose works, and also of:— (1) Hymns for Churchmen, 1854; (2) Counsels of a Godfather, 1861; (3) Hymns for the Children of the Church, 1862; (4) Germs of Thought on the Sunday Services, 1864; (5) Through the Clouds; Thoughts in Plain Verse, 1866. From those works and other sources the following hymns have come into common use:— 1. As calmly in the glowing west. Evening. 2. Come, our Father's voice is calling. Confirmation. Appeared in his Hymns for the Children of the Church, 1862, in 6 stanzas of 4 lines. It passed into Mrs. C. Brock's Children's Hymn Book, 1881. 3. Grant us Thy light that we may know. Divine Guidance. Included in his Germs of Thought, &c, 1864, in 6 stanzas of 4 lines. In Horder's Congregational Hymn Book, 1884; the Universal Hymn Book, 1885, it begins, “O grant us light that we may know." 4. I come, 0 Father kind. Holy Communion. 5. Lo, like a bride, in pure array. Septuagesima. 6. No sign we ask from heaven above. After Holy Baptism. Published in his Hymns for Churchmen, 1854, in 4 stanzas of 6 lines. It has passed into several collections, includ¬ing the S. P. C. K. Church Hymns, 1871, Thring's Collection, 1882, &c. 7. Now, eternal Father, bless. Holy Baptism. In his Hymns for the Children of the Church, 1862, in 3 stanzas of 6 lines, and Mrs. Brock's Children's Hymn Book, 1881. In the latter it is attributed to Bishop Maclagan in error. 8. 0 happy Christian children. Divine Protection.

K. Church Hymns, 1871, and many others. 10. Shepherd, good and gracious. The Good Shepherd. In his Hymns for the Children of the Church, 1862; Mrs. Brock's Children's Hymn Book, 1881, &c. 11.

Litany to the Saviour. Published in his Through the Clouds, &c, 1866, in 10 stanzas of 8 lines, with the note :—"Those words were written for the music of a Roman Litany 'Ave Stella Maria.'" This Litany is in extensive use. 13. Who is this? the long expected. Advent. In addition to these, several of Mr. Tuttiett's hymns are annotated under their respective first lines, the most popular of which are, "Father, let me dedicate"; "Go forward, Christian soldier"; and "0 quickly come, dread Judge of all." Mr. Tuttiett's hymns are characterised by smoothness of rhythm, directness of aim, simplicity of language, and deep earnestness. Those for special services and seasons are of great merit. He died May 21, 1897. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ================== Tuttiett, L., p. 1188, ii. He was born at Colyton, not Cloyton, Devonshire, in 1825.

O Lord, that we may learn" (The Light of Life) are in Hymns Ancient & Modern, 1904. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907) ===================== See also in: Hymn Writers of the Church

Having become interested in British Congregationalism (later to become the United Reformed Church) through a friendship, he was attended Western College in Bristol. He was ordained in 1955 at the Windsor Road Congregational Church in Barry, Glamorgan. In 1963 he was called to be minister of the Pilgrim Church in Plymouth.

He continued writing many more hymns throughout his life.
