Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2,484 hymnals First Line: There is a fountain filled with blood Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains: Lose all their guilty stains, Lose all their guilty stains; And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day, And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away: Wash all my sins away, Wash all my sins away; And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its pow'r, Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved, to sin no more: Be saved, to sin no more, Be saved, to sin no more; Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved to sin no more. 4 E'er since by faith I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme And shall be till I die: And shall be till I die, And shall be till I die; Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. 5 When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue Lies silent in the grave, Then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing Thy pow'r to save: I'll sing Thy pow'r to save, I'll sing Thy pow'r to save; Then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing Thy pow'r to save.

I Feel the Winds of God Today

Author: Jessie Adams Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I feel the winds of God today; Today my sail I lift, Though heavy, oft with drenching spray, And torn with many a rift; If hope but light the water’s crest, And Christ my bark will use, I’ll seek the seas at His behest, And brave another cruise. 2 It is the wind of God that dries My vain, regretful tears, Until with braver thoughts shall rise The purer, brighter years; If cast on shores of selfish ease Or pleasure I should be, Lord, let me feel Thy freshening breeze, And I’ll put back to sea. 3 If ever I forget Thy love And how that love was shown, Lift high the blood red flag above; It bears Thy name alone. Great Pilot of my onward way, Thou wilt not let me drift; I feel the winds of Go Amen.

Du kyrka på den grundval byggd

Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #S64 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Du kyrka på den grundval byggd, Som evigt skall stå fast, Du varit fädrens värn och skygd, Du står om allting brast! Min frjöjd och krona är du nu Och på den hörnesten, Som heter Jesus, hvilar du Så trygg, så säll, så ren. 2 På denna klippa stormars hot Och lärdomsvindars brus Och egna tyckens stolta knot Ej skaka kyrkans hus; Det klippfast står i väl och ve Uti bekännelsen Uppbyggdt af stenar lefvande, Af hvilka jag är en. 4 Det min, det Luthers kyrka är Apostlarnas också. Profeters ljus klart lyser här Och lUar mig att förstå Det tal om blodet, som rengör Och genom himlens port mig för, Som var med lagen stängd. 5 Ja, du min kyrka lär vet, Att Jesus Vägen är Och Sanning, Lif, Rättfärdighet – Du klartmig äfven lär, Att Jesus dog på korsets stam För mina synders skull, Och för det offer Han bar fram Är Gud mig evigt huld. 6 Och för din tro martyrers blod I strömmar fordom flöt, Ack, hjalp mig, Gud, med gladligt mod Bli stilla i ditt sköt', Om ock med blod det tarfvas än Af Jesu klena hjord Att vittna för bekännelsen Om Kristus och Hans ord. 7 Min kyrka med din tro, ditt namn Mig vare evigt kär! Ack, slut mig st¨ndigt i din famn Och jämt mig vandra lär Uppå min gode Herdes stig! Mitt löfte, bön, begär Är att ej skiljas ifrån dig – Där Gud mig nåd beskär.

John Bacchus Dykes

1823 - 1876 Person Name: John B. Dykes Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Composer of "VOX DILECTI" in Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) 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. Bert Polman

Brian A. Wren

b. 1936 Person Name: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Author of "I Come with Joy" in New Wine In Old Wineskins Brian Wren (b. Romford, Essex, England, 1936) is a major British figure in the revival of contemporary hymn writing. He studied French literature at New College and theology at Mansfield College in Oxford, England. Ordained in 1965, he was pastor of the Congregational Church (now United Reformed) in Hockley and Hawkwell, Essex, from 1965 to 1970. He worked for the British Council of Churches and several other organizations involved in fighting poverty and promoting peace and justice. This work resulted in his writing of Education for Justice (1977) and Patriotism and Peace (1983). With a ministry throughout the English-speaking world, Wren now resides in the United States where he is active as a freelance lecturer, preacher, and full-time hymn writer. His hymn texts are published in Faith Looking Forward (1983), Praising a Mystery (1986), Bring Many Names (1989), New Beginnings (1993), and Faith Renewed: 33 Hymns Reissued and Revised (1995), as well as in many modern hymnals. He has also produced What Language Shall I Borrow? (1989), a discussion guide to inclusive language in Christian worship. Bert Polman

Nahum Tate

1652 - 1715 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Author of "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks" in The Presbyterian Hymnal Nahum Tate was born in Dublin and graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1672. He lacked great talent but wrote much for the stage, adapting other men's work, really successful only in a version of King Lear. Although he collaborated with Dryden on several occasions, he was never fully in step with the intellectual life of his times, and spent most of his life in a futile pursuit of popular favor. Nonetheless, he was appointed poet laureate in 1692 and royal historiographer in 1702. He is now known only for the New Version of the Psalms of David, 1696, which he produced in collaboration with Nicholas Brady. Poverty stricken throughout much of his life, he died in the Mint at Southwark, where he had taken refuge from his creditors, on August 12, 1715. --The Hymnal 1940 Companion See also in: Hymn Writers of the Church
