Our great Redeemer, as he breathed
When shadows gather on our way
Author: Rev. Frederick Lucian Hosmer Meter: 8.6.8.4 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When shadows gather on our way,
Fast deepening as the night,
Be Thou, O God, the spirit's stay,
Our inward Light.
2 Amid the outward toil and strife,
The world's dull roar and din,
Still speak Thy word of higher life,
Thou Voice within.
3 When burdens sore upon us press,
And vexing cares increase,
Spring Thou, a fount of quietness,
Our hidden Peace.
4 Though fond hopes fail, and joy depart,
And friends should faithless prove,
O save us from the bitter heart,
Indwelling Love!
Amen. Topics: The Life In Christ The Inner Life; Inner Life, The; Love and Communion; Peace, Spiritual; Serenity Used With Tune: ST. CUTHBERT
When shadows gather on our way
The God of love my Shepherd is
Author: George Rawson Meter: 8.6.8.4 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The God of love my Shepherd is,
My gracious, constant guide;
I shall not want for I am His;
In all supplied.
2 In His green pastures do I feed,
And there lie down at will;
He leads me in my thirsty need
By waters still.
3 His tenderness restores my soul,
When sick and faint I roam;
Shows the right path and makes me whole,
Bearing me home.
4 Yea! the dark valley when I tread,
No evil will I fear;
Thy rod and staff dispel my dread;
I feel Thee near.
5 Thou spread'st my table 'mid my foes;
The oil of grace is mine;
My cup with mercy overflows,
And love divine.
6 Goodness and mercy all my days
My constant song shall be,
Till heavenly anthems fill with praise
Eternity. Amen. Topics: Trust Used With Tune: [The God of love my Shepherd is]

O Lord, our Lord, how excellent

O Lord, our Lord, how excellent
O Lord, our Lord, how excellent
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P8c (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.4 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent
in all the earth thy name!
who hast thy glory set above
the starry frame.
2 From infants' and from sucklings' mouths
is strength by thee ordained,
that so the avenger may be quelled,
the foe restrained.
3 When I behold thy spacious heavens,
the work of thine own hand,
the moon and stars in order set
by thy command;
4 O, what is man, that thou should'st him
in kind remembrance bear?
Or what the son of man, that thou
for him should'st care?
5 For thou a little lower hast
him than the angels made;
with honour and with gory thou
hast crowned his head.
6 Lord of thy works thou hast him made:
all unto him must yield,
all sheep and oxen, yea, and beasts
which roam the field,
7 Fowl of the air, fish of the sea,
all that pass through the same.
O Lord, our Lord, in all the earth
how great thy name! Scripture: Psalm 8 Languages: English Tune Title: ROTHLEY
O Lord, our Lord, how excellent
John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Person Name: John B. Dykes Meter: 8.6.8.4 Composer of "ST. CUTHBERT" in The Hymnal As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern.

Harriet Auber
1773 - 1862 Meter: 8.6.8.4 Author of "Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed" in The Hymnal Auber, Harriet, daughter of Mr. James Auber, b. in London, Oct. 4, 1773. During the greater part of her quiet and secluded life she resided at Broxbourne and Hoddesdon, Herts, and died at the latter place on the 20th Jan., 1862. Miss Auber wrote devotional and other poetry, but only a portion of the former was published in her Spirit of the Psalms, in 1829. This collection is mainly her work, and from it some useful versions of the Psalms have been taken and included in modern hymn-books, about 20 appearing in Spurgeon's Our Own Hymn Book, 1866. Miss Auber's name is widely known, but it is principally through her exquisite lyric, "Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed," and the Epiphany hymn, "Bright was the guiding star that led." (For criticism of her work, see English Psalters, §. 17.)
In addition to these and other hymns by Miss Auber, which are annotated under their respective first lines, the following are also in C. V., but principally in America:—
1. Arise, ye people, and adore. Easter.
2. As Thy chosen people, Lord. Ps. lxciii.

Shamley Green, Guilford, Surrey, England, 1903) was born in the parsonage of Alford, where his father was rector. Educated at Balliol College, Oxford, England, he was ordained a priest in the Church of England in 1847.

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.
