Thy Name Alone Can Save
Author: Fanny Crosby Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: There is a name divinely sweet Refrain First Line: Dear Savior, Thine the precious name Lyrics: 1 There is a name divinely sweet,
That melts the heart to love,
And wakes the highest note of praise
From angel choirs above;
It guides the mourning wanderer home;
It calms the troubled wave;
In all the realms beneath the skies,
No other name can save.
Refrain:
Dear Savior, Thine the precious name
That melts the heart to love,
And wakes the highest note of praise
From angel choirs above.
2 That name devotion’s flame inspires
In every grateful breast;
And thro’ its all prevailing power
We hope, and look for rest;
It brings us near the throne of grace,
By faith and earnest prayer;
It brings to every waiting soul
A Father’s blessing there. [Refrain]
3 The saints redeemed, with one accord,
The name in glory sing;
And o’er the radiant fields of light,
Their loud hosannas ring;
Eternal Father, source of light!
Inspire our grateful lays;
And teach our hearts in nobler strains
That blessèd name to praise. [Refrain] Used With Tune: KARLSRUHE Text Sources: Pure Gold by Robert Lowry and W. Howard Doane (New York: Biglow & Main, 1871)

The Living Way
Author: James L. Nicholson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2704 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 D First Line: My many sins I now can see Refrain First Line: Lord, in thy blessèd Word I’ve read Lyrics: 1 My many sins I now can see,
How black they all appear!
O what a dreadful history,
It fills my soul with fear;
I’m sorry, Lord, for what I’ve done,
I cry for help to Thee;
Now for the sake of Thy dear Son,
Have mercy, Lord, on me.
Refrain:
Lord, in thy blessèd Word I’ve read
About a "living way,"
And that the blood of Christ was shed
To wash my sins away.
2 In years that now are past and gone
The prophet gave a call,
And this was it—"Ho, every one";
That surely must mean all,
And if he called to every one
I’m surely counted in;
My doubts and fears are almost gone,
To trust I now begin. [Refrain]
3 He bade them "to the waters come,"
He spoke of "milk and wine";
I’m thirsty, Father, give me some,
What Jesus bought is mine:
I drink, I drink, by living faith,
I feel my sins forgiven;
The merits of my Savior’s death
Makes me an heir to Heaven. [Refrain] Languages: Latin Tune Title: GALÁPAGOS

A Little While
Author: Daniel W. Whittle Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7841 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 D First Line: "A little while!" and He shall come Refrain First Line: Then come, Lord Jesus, quickly come Lyrics: 1 "A little while!" and He shall come;
The hour draws on apace,
The blessèd hour, the glorious morn,
When we shall see His face:
How light our trials then will seem!
How short our pilgrim way!
Our life on earth a fitful dream,
Dispelled by dawning day!
Refrain:
Then come, Lord Jesus, quickly come,
In glory and in light!
Come take Thy longing children home,
And end earth’s weary night!
2 A little while! with patience, Lord,
I fain would ask, How long?
For how can I with such a hope
Of glory and of home,
With such a joy awaiting me,
Not wish the hour were come?
How can I keep the longing back,
And how suppress the groan? [Refrain]
3 Yet peace, my heart! and hush, my tongue!
Be calm, my troubled breast!
Each passing hour is hastening on
The everlasting rest:
Thou knowest well—the time thy God
Appoints for thee is best:
The morning star will soon arise;
The glow is in the east. [Refrain]

We Consecrate Ourselves Anew
Author: George Whitman Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8523 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 D First Line: Here on the altar of true love Lyrics: 1 Here on the altar of true love,
We give ourselves anew;
One faith is ours, one God above,
One aim to will or do;
And O the flame that blazes bright,
And never waxes dim,
In hearty love for God and right,
Inspired by love for Him.
Refrain:
We consecreate ourselves anew,
Our all to Him we give (we give).
O may we do as He would do
And live as He would live.
2 In union sweet we love to meet,
And feel "the tie that binds";
It gives relief to weary feet,
And balm to fainting minds;
And O the common ties of earth
Are small compared with His,
For ours the bond princely birth,
The hope of heav’nly bliss. [Refrain]
3 We consecrate ourselves anew,
Our heart’s best offering give,
Resolved to do as He would do,
And live as He would live;
And O we know we must succeed,
With such a guide and friend;
Our vows will blossom into deeds,
And in fruition end. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: CHARLEROI

Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 D Author of "The Heaven-Bound Mariner" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

William J. Kirkpatrick
1838 - 1921 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 D Arranger of "VILLAVICENCIO" in The Cyber Hymnal William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia.

James McGranahan
1840 - 1907 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 D Composer of "FINCHLEY" in The Cyber Hymnal James McGranahan USA 1840-1907. Born at West Fallowfield, PA, uncle of Hugh McGranahan, and son of a farmer, he farmed during boyhood. Due to his love of music his father let him attend singing school, where he learned to play the bass viol. At age 19 he organized his first singing class and soon became a popular teacher in his area of the state. He became a noted musician and hymns composer. His father was reluctant to let him pursue this career, but he soon made enough money doing it that he was able to hire a replacement farmhand to help his father while he studied music. His father, a wise man, soon realized how his son was being used by God to win souls through his music. He entered the Normal Music School at Genesco, NY, under William B Bradbury in 1861-62. He met Miss Addie Vickery there. They married in 1863, and were very close to each other their whole marriage, but had no children. She was also a musician and hymnwriter in her own right. For a time he held a postmaster’s job in Rome, PA. In 1875 he worked for three years as a teacher and director at Dr. Root’s Normal Music Institute. He because well-known and successful as a result, and his work attracted much attention. He had a rare tenor voice, and was told he should train for the operatic stage. It was a dazzling prospect, but his friend, Philip Bliss, who had given his wondrous voice to the service of song for Christ for more than a decade, urged him to do the same. Preparing to go on a Christmas vacation with his wife, Bliss wrote McGranahan a letter about it, which McGranahan discussed with his friend Major Whittle. Those two met in person for the first time at Ashtubula, OH, both trying to retrieve the bodies of the Bliss’s, who died in a bridge-failed train wreck. Whittle thought upon meeting McGranahan, that here is the man Bliss has chosen to replace him in evangelism. The men returned to Chicago together and prayed about the matter. McGranahan gave up his post office job and the world gained a sweet gospel singer/composer as a result. McGranahan and his wife, and Major Whittle worked together for 11 years evangelizing in the U.S., Great Britain, and Ireland. They made two visits to the United Kingdom, in 1880 and 1883, the latter associated with Dwight Moody and Ira Sankey evangelistic work. McGranahan pioneered use of the male choir in gospel song. While holding meetings in Worcester, MA, he found himself with a choir of only male voices. Resourcefully, he quickly adapted the music to those voices and continued with the meetings. The music was powerful and started what is known as male choir and quartet music. Music he published included: “The choice”, “Harvest of song”, “Gospel Choir”,, “Gospel hymns #3,#4, #5, #6” (with Sankey and Stebbins), “Songs of the gospel”, and “Male chorus book”. The latter three were issued in England. In 1887 McGranahan’s health compelled him to give up active work in evangelism. He then built a beautiful home, Maplehurst, among friends at Kinsman, OH, and settled down to the composition of music, which would become an extension of his evangelistic work. Though his health limited his hours, of productivity, some of his best hymns were written during these days. McGranahan was a most lovable, gentle, modest, unassuming, gentleman, and a refined and cultured Christian. He loved good fellowship, and often treated guests to the most delightful social feast. He died of diabetes at Kinsman, OH, and went home to be with his Savior.
