May Thy Church Our Shelter Be

Author: Thomas B. Pollock Meter: 7.7.7.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. May Thy Church our shelter be, Ark in mercy built by Thee, Refuge from the storms of life, From the wearing toil and strife, Hear us, we beseech Thee. 2. When temptations round us roll, Threatening shipwreck to the soul, Grant us faith and holy fear, By Thy will our course to steer. Hear us, we beseech Thee. 3. Through the gloom of sorrow’s night, Show Thy cheering, guiding light; Waft us homeward, Lord, we pray, Nearer Heaven, day by day. Hear us, we beseech Thee. 4. Bid the storms of passion cease, Bid the power of love increase, Bid each tossing doubt be still, Bid us trust and do Thy will. Hear us, we beseech Thee. 5. Mark our course, and keep us true, Till the haven fair we view, Grant us on that peaceful shore Home and friends forevermore. Hear us, we beseech Thee. 6. Where there is no night or sea, May we praise and worship Thee, Glad because we are at rest, In Thy presence with the blest. Hear us, we beseech Thee. Text Sources: Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1889

Christopher M. Idle

b. 1938 Person Name: Christopher Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 7.7.7.7.6 Author of "Great and wonderful your deeds" in Ancient and Modern Christopher Martin Idle (b. Bromley, Kent, England, 1938) was educated at Elthan College, St. Peter's College, Oxford, and Clifton Theological College in Bristol, and was ordained in the Church of England. He served churches in Barrow-in-­Furness, Cumbria; London; and Oakley, Suffolk; and recently returned to London, where he is involved in various hymnal projects. A prolific author of articles on the Christian's public responsibilities, Idle has also published The Lion Book of Favorite Hymns (1980) and at least one hundred of his own hymns and biblical paraphrases. Some of his texts first appeared in hymnals published by the Jubilate Group, with which he is associated. He was also editor of Anglican Praise (1987). In 1998 Hope Publishing released Light Upon the River, a collection of 279 of his psalm and hymn texts, along with suggested tunes, scripture references, and commentary. Bert Polman

John L. Bell

b. 1949 Person Name: John L. Bell (b. 1949) Meter: 7.7.7.7.6 Arranger of "GAYON NI HIGAMI" in Church Hymnary (4th ed.) John Bell (b. 1949) was born in the Scottish town of Kilmarnock in Ayrshire, intending to be a music teacher when he felt the call to the ministry. But in frustration with his classes, he did volunteer work in a deprived neighborhood in London for a time and also served for two years as an associate pastor at the English Reformed Church in Amsterdam. After graduating he worked for five years as a youth pastor for the Church of Scotland, serving a large region that included about 500 churches. He then took a similar position with the Iona Community, and with his colleague Graham Maule, began to broaden the youth ministry to focus on renewal of the church’s worship. His approach soon turned to composing songs within the identifiable traditions of hymnody that began to address concerns missing from the current Scottish hymnal: "I discovered that seldom did our hymns represent the plight of poor people to God. There was nothing that dealt with unemployment, nothing that dealt with living in a multicultural society and feeling disenfranchised. There was nothing about child abuse…,that reflected concern for the developing world, nothing that helped see ourselves as brothers and sisters to those who are suffering from poverty or persecution." [from an interview in Reformed Worship (March 1993)] That concern not only led to writing many songs, but increasingly to introducing them internationally in many conferences, while also gathering songs from around the world. He was convener for the fourth edition of the Church of Scotland’s Church Hymnary (2005), a very different collection from the previous 1973 edition. His books, The Singing Thing and The Singing Thing Too, as well as the many collections of songs and worship resources produced by John Bell—some together with other members of the Iona Community’s “Wild Goose Resource Group,” —are available in North America from GIA Publications.

Thomas Benson Pollock

1836 - 1896 Person Name: Thomas B. Pollock Meter: 7.7.7.7.6 Author of "Father, Whose Creating Hand" in The Cyber Hymnal Pollock, Thomas Benson, M.A., was born in 1836, and graduated at Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1859, M.A. 1863, where he also gained the Vice-Chancellor's Prize for English Verse in 1855. Taking Holy Orders in 1861, he was Curate of St. Luke's, Leek, Staffordshire; St. Thomas's, Stamford Hill, London; and St. Alban's, Birmingham. Mr. Pollock is a most successful writer of metrical Litanies. His Metrical Litanies for Special Services and General Use, Mowbray, Oxford, 1870, and other compositions of the same kind contributed subsequently to various collections, have greatly enriched modern hymnbooks. To the 1889 Supplemental Hymns to Hymns Ancient & Modern, Mr. Pollock contributed two hymns, “We are soldiers of Christ, Who is mighty to save" (Soldiers of Christ), and "We have not known Thee as we ought" (Seeking God), but they are by no means equal to his Litanies in beauty and finish. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) =================== Pollock, T.
