Weary Souls, That Wander Wide
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 119 hymnals First Line: Weary souls, who wander wide Lyrics: 1. Weary souls, who wander wide
From the central point of bliss,
Turn to Jesus crucified,
Fly to those dear wounds of His:
Sink into the purple flood;
Rise into the life of God.
2. Find in Christ the way of peace,
Peace unspeakable, unknown;
By His pain He gives you ease,
Life by His expiring groan:
Rise, exalted by His fall,
Find in Christ your all in all.
3. O believe the record true,
God to you His Son hath given;
Ye may now be happy, too,
Find on earth the life of Heaven:
Live the life of Heaven above,
All the life of glorious love.
4. This the universal bliss,
Bliss for every soul designed;
God’s primeval promise this,
God’s great gift to all mankind:
Blest in Christ this moment be,
Blest to all eternity! Used With Tune: ROSEFIELD Text Sources: Hymns for Those That Seek and Those That Have Redemption, 1747
Weary Souls, That Wander Wide
Klippa, du, som brast för mig
Author: A. M. Toplady Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #S45 (1913) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Klippa, du, som brast för mig,
Låt mig gömma mig i dig!
Vattnet, blodet, hvilket går
Från din stungna sidas sår,
Tvage i sin himlasaft
Mig från syndens skuld och kraft!
2 Med min svett och möda jag
Aldrig hyller upp din lag.
Om mitt hit blef aldrig matt,
Om jag grät båd' dag och natt,
Syndens fläckar stå dock kvar,
Du, blott du, min frälsning har
3 Intet kan jag gifva dig,
Till ditt kors jag sluter mig,
Naken, dig om kläder ber,
Hjälplös, upp till nåden ser.
I din lifsvåg låt mig tvås,
Herre, annars jag förgås.
4 Vid hvart flyktigt andedrag,
Och när jag skall dö en dag,
När till okändt land jag går,
När inför din dom jag står,
Klippa, du, som brast för mig,
Låt mig gömma mig i dig! Topics: Jesu Lidande; Suffering of Jesus; Sinnesändring och Tro; Conversion and Faith Languages: Swedish Tune Title: TOPLADY

O, hvad världen nu är skön!
Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #S43 (1913) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 First Line: O, hvad världen nu är skön Lyrics: 1 O, hvad världen nu är skön,
Klädd i sommardräkten;
Känn i skog, på äng, på sjön
Milda, friska fläkten,
Ljufva dofter, fågelsång:
Mänska, höj och du din sång!
2 Jorden, smyckad som en brud,
Högt lofsjunger Herran;
Jubla, lund i vårlig skrud,
Ängder när och fjärran!
Allt hans Ande skapar nytt,
Vinterns tunga välde flytt.
3 Skulle ej min själ, min mun
Honom offer bringa,
Helig sång af hjärtats grund
Till Guds ära klinga?
Är vår jord så rik på fröjd,
O, hur blir då himlens höjd?

O, hvad världen nu är skön!
O min Frälsare, mig led
Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #S44 (1913) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 O min Frälsare, mig led
Öfver lifvets bölja vred.
Okänd farled för mig är,
Bränningar och dolda skär.
Dyre Jesus, led mig fram,
För min farkost in i hamn.
2 Likt ett barn vid moders bröst
Stillas hafvet vid din röst.
Stormig bölja lägger sig,
När hon hør ditt "Ssilla, tig."
Gud allsvåldig är ditt namn;
För min farkost in i hamn.
3 När jag slutar färden svår –
Dödens bränning mot mig slår –
Ingif då mitthjärta trøst,
Låt mig høra få din röst,
Där jag hvilar i din famn:
"Jag skall föra dig i hamn." Topics: Bön; Prayer Languages: Swedish Tune Title: [O min Frälsare, mig led]

Cecil Frances Alexander
1818 - 1895 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Author of "Pain and Toil are Over Now" in Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship As a small girl, Cecil Frances Humphries (b. Redcross, County Wicklow, Ireland, 1818; Londonderry, Ireland, 1895) wrote poetry in her school's journal. In 1850 she married Rev. William Alexander, who later became the Anglican primate (chief bishop) of Ireland. She showed her concern for disadvantaged people by traveling many miles each day to visit the sick and the poor, providing food, warm clothes, and medical supplies. She and her sister also founded a school for the deaf. Alexander was strongly influenced by the Oxford Movement and by John Keble's Christian Year. Her first book of poetry, Verses for Seasons, was a "Christian Year" for children. She wrote hymns based on the Apostles' Creed, baptism, the Lord's Supper, the Ten Commandments, and prayer, writing in simple language for children. Her more than four hundred hymn texts were published in Verses from the Holy Scripture (1846), Hymns for Little Children (1848), and Hymns Descriptive and Devotional ( 1858).
Bert Polman
==================
Alexander, Cecil Frances, née Humphreys, second daughter of the late Major John Humphreys, Miltown House, co. Tyrone, Ireland, b. 1823, and married in 1850 to the Rt. Rev. W. Alexander, D.D., Bishop of Derry and Raphoe. Mrs. Alexander's hymns and poems number nearly 400. They are mostly for children, and were published in her Verses for Holy Seasons, with Preface by Dr. Hook, 1846; Poems on Subjects in the Old Testament, pt. i. 1854, pt. ii. 1857; Narrative Hymns for Village Schools, 1853; Hymns for Little Children, 1848; Hymns Descriptive and Devotional, 1858; The Legend of the Golden Prayers 1859; Moral Songs, N.B.; The Lord of the Forest and his Vassals, an Allegory, &c.; or contributed to the Lyra Anglicana, the S.P.C.K. Psalms and Hymns, Hymns Ancient & Modern, and other collections. Some of the narrative hymns are rather heavy, and not a few of the descriptive are dull, but a large number remain which have won their way to the hearts of the young, and found a home there. Such hymns as "In Nazareth in olden time," "All things bright and beautiful," "Once in Royal David's city," "There is a green hill far away," "Jesus calls us o'er the tumult," "The roseate hues of early dawn," and others that might be named, are deservedly popular and are in most extensive use. Mrs. Alexander has also written hymns of a more elaborate character; but it is as a writer for children that she has excelled.

Shirley Erena Murray
1931 - 2020 Person Name: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Author of "Let My Spirit Always Sing" in Community of Christ Sings Shirley Erena Murray (b. Invercargill, New Zealand, 1931) studied music as an undergraduate but received a master’s degree (with honors) in classics and French from Otago University. Her upbringing was Methodist, but she became a Presbyterian when she married the Reverend John Stewart Murray, who was a moderator of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand. Shirley began her career as a teacher of languages, but she became more active in Amnesty International, and for eight years she served the Labor Party Research Unit of Parliament. Her involvement in these organizations has enriched her writing of hymns, which address human rights, women’s concerns, justice, peace, the integrity of creation, and the unity of the church. Many of her hymns have been performed in CCA and WCC assemblies. In recognition for her service as a writer of hymns, the New Zealand government honored her as a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit on the Queen’s birthday on 3 June 2001. Through Hope Publishing House, Murray has published three collections of her hymns: In Every Corner Sing (eighty-four hymns, 1992), Everyday in Your Spirit (forty-one hymns, 1996), and Faith Makes the Song (fifty hymns, 2002). The New Zealand Hymnbook Trust, for which she worked for a long time, has also published many of her texts (cf. back cover, Faith Makes the Song). In 2009, Otaga University conferred on her an honorary doctorate in literature for her contribution to the art of hymn writing.

History
The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset
of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano
with organ versions.
About the Recordings All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs.
