Lend A Helping Hand
Author: Eben E. Rexford Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Lend a helping hand, my brother Refrain First Line: Lend a helping hand, my brother Lyrics: 1 Lend a helping hand, my brother
To the weary by the way,
Bowed beneath life’s heavy burdens
’Mid the toil and heat of day;
Pass no comrade by in silence,
Cheerful words and smiles bestow,
Let them be as sunshine scattered
All along their path below.
Refrain:
Lend a helping hand, my brother,
This shall have its own reward,
And the good you do another
Is remembered by the Lord.
2 Lend a helping hand, my brother,
Someone needs your help each day,
Always someone needing comfort
You will find along the way.
Always hearts that hunger after
Words of love, and hope, and cheer—
Always faces we may brighten
With the smile that dries the tear. [Refrain]
3 In the march of life, my brother,
Many falter by the way,
Often heart and courage fails them
In the moment of the fray.
Speak the word of cheer that’s needed,
Bid them ask God’s help, and then,
With a hand that’s strong but gentle,
Lift them to their feet again. [Refrain] Used With Tune: LOS PADRES Text Sources: Young People's Songs of Praise, by I. Allan Sankey (Chicago: Biglow & Main, 1902)

Clinging and Resting
Author: L. B. Carpenter Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 D Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: To the cross I long was clinging Refrain First Line: I was clinging, now I'm resting Lyrics: 1 To the cross I long was clinging,
As a refuge from despair,
Found relief from guilt of sinning,
While I lingered, clinging there;
Still life’s waves and storms assailed me,
Doubts and fears my mind distressed,
And with all the cross availed me,
Clinging gave no perfect rest.
Refrain:
I was clinging, now I’m resting,
Sweetly resting at the cross;
I was clinging, now I’m resting,
Sweetly resting at the cross.
2 To the cross I cling no longer,
Doubts and fears no longer feel;
Faith, and hope, and love are stronger,
Jesus’ blood doth fully heal.
Now my song is not, "I’m clinging";
That to me would now be loss,
When mind, heart and soul are singing,
"I am resting at the cross." [Refrain]
3 My salvation is completed,
Christ, my hope, my life, my light;
Sin, and death, and hell defeated,
Can not now my soul affright.
Heaven seems in blessèd nearness,
And earth’s treasures are as dross,
While, ’mid light of cloudless clearness,
I am resting at the cross. [Refrain] Used With Tune: TUSCANY Text Sources: The Garner, by John R. Sweney (Philadelphia: John J. Hood, 1878)

We Shall Meet Our Friends Departed
Author: E. C. Howe Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Refrain First Line: We shall meet, yes, we shall meet them Lyrics: 1 We shall meet our friends departed,
Though we left them long ago
To their lone and dreamless slumbers,
In the silent dust below;
We shall meet them, O how glorious!
When this weary life is o’er,
In those bright, celestial regions,
Blest and happy evermore.
Refrain:
We shall meet, yes, we shall meet them,
When our journeyings are o’er,
We shall meet them, Hallelujah!
On that bright and shining shore.
2 We shall meet our friends departed,
Who the promised land have won,
Shining as the stars of Heaven,
Round the everlasting throne;
Onward, every soul, to duty
Scatter wide the shades of gloom,
All of life is in the future,
Life is bliss beyond the tomb. [Refrain]
3 We shall meet our friends departed,
Clothed in robes of heav’nly white,
And with sainted voices greet them
In a land of life and light;
Lift no voice of grief or sorrow,
That they molder in the dust;
We shall meet them on the morrow
At the rising of the just. [Refrain] Used With Tune: PHRAE Text Sources: Songs of Free Grace by Daniel B. Towner (Cincinnati: Cranston & stonew, 1883)

Risen our victorious head!
Sing his praises! Alleluia!
Christ is risen from the dead!
Gratefully our hearts adore him
As his light once more appears;
Bowing down in joy before him,
Rising up from griefs and tears.

Christ is risen! Alleluia!
Risen our victorious head!
Sing his praises! Alleluia!

2 Christ is risen! All the sadness
Of our Lenten fast is o’er;
Through the open gates of gladness
He returns to life once more;
Death and hell before him bending
See him rise, the victor now,
Angels on his steps attending,
Glory round his wounded brow. [Refrain]
3 Christ is risen! All the sorrow
That last evening round him lay
Now has found a glorious morrow
In the rising of today.
See the grave its first-fruits giving,
Springing up from holy ground;
He was dead, but now is living;
He was lost, but he is found. [Refrain]
4 Christ is risen! Henceforth never
Death or hell shall us enthrall;
Be we Christ’s, in him forever
We have triumphed over all.
All the doubting and dejection
Of our trembling hearts have ceased;
Hail the day of resurrection!
Let us rise and keep the feast. [Refrain]

Longfellow, S., p. 685, i. Since Mr. Longfellow's death on Oct. 3, 1892, his hymns have been collected by his niece, Miss Alice Longfellow, as Hymns and Verses(Houghton, Mifflin & Co., 1904.) From this work we find many of the hymns signed Anon, in the Index to Longfellow and Johnson's Hymns of the Spirit, 1864, were his; several of these, including E. Osier's "O God unseen, yet ever near," were popular English hymns which he rewrote from his own theological standpoint. These re¬written hymns are very widely used by Unitarians and others. During the last ten years the following additional hymns by S. Long¬fellow have come into common use:—
1. Eternal One, Thou living God. Faith in God.
2. God of the earth, the sky, the sea. God in Nature.
3. God's trumpet wakes the slumbering world. Call to duty.
4. Light of ages and of nations. God in and through all time.
5. Lo, the earth is risen again. Spring. (1876.)
6. Now while we sing our closing psalm. Close of Worship.
7. O Life that maketh all things new. Unity. (1874.)
8. O Thou in Whom we live and move. The Divine Law.
9. The summer days are come again. Summer. From his hymn,"The sweet[bright] June days are come again."
10. Thou Lord of lite, our saving health. In Sickness. (1886.)
Of these hymns Nos. 2, 3 appeared in the Hymns of the Spirit, 1864, and all with the dates appended in Hymns and Verses, 1904.

Born at York, ME, he was raised on his father's farm, with rainy days spent in a shoe-shop, the custom in those days. He loved music and spent spare hours practicing any music he could find. In 1830 the family moved to Boston, where he first saw and heard an organ and piano, and other instruments. He became an organist at 15. He attended Dr. Lowell Mason's singing classes, and later sang in the Bowdoin Street church choir. Dr. Mason became a good friend. He made $100/yr playing the organ, and was still in Dr. Mason's choir. Dr. Mason gave him a chance to teach singing in Machias, ME, which he accepted. He returned to Boston the following year to marry Adra Esther Fessenden in 1838, then relocated to Saint John, New Brunswick. Where his efforts were not much appreciated, so he returned to Boston. He was offered charge of music and organ at the First Baptist Church of Brooklyn. That led to similar work at the Baptist Tabernacle, New York City, where he also started a singing class. That started singing schools in various parts of the city, and eventually resulted in music festivals, held at the Broadway Tabernacle, a prominent city event. He conducted a 1000 children choir there, which resulted in music being taught as regular study in public schools of the city. He began writing music and publishing it. In 1847 he went with his wife to Europe to study with some of the music masters in London and also Germany. He attended Mendelssohn funeral while there. He went to Switzerland before returning to the states, and upon returning, commenced teaching, conducting conventions, composing, and editing music books. In 1851, with his brother, Edward, he began manufacturring Bradbury pianos, which became popular. Also, he had a small office in one of his warehouses in New York and often went there to spend time in private devotions. As a professor, he edited 59 books of sacred and secular music, much of which he wrote. He attended the Presbyterian church in Bloomfield, NJ, for many years later in life. He contracted tuberculosis the last two years of his life.

Peter Williams
1723 - 1796 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 D Translator (stanza 1) of "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" in Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) Peter Williams (b. Llansadurnin, Carmarthanshire, Wales, 1722; d. Llandyfeilog, Wales, 1796) was converted to Christianity by the preaching of George Whitefield and was ordained in the Church of England in 1744. His evangelical convictions soon made him suspect, however, and he left the state church to join the Calvinist Methodists in 1746. He served as an itinerant preacher for many years and was a primary figure in the Welsh revival of the eighteenth century. After being expelled by the Methodists in 1791 on a charge of heresy, he ministered in his own chapel during the last years of his life. He published the first Welsh Bible commentary (1767-1770) and a Bible concordance (1773); he was also one of the annotators for John Canne's Welsh Bible (1790). In addition Williams published a Welsh hymnal, Rhai Hymnau ac Odlau Ysbrydol (1759), as well as Hymns on Various Subjects (1771).
