Just as I Am, Without One Plea

Author: Charlotte Elliott Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 2,105 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

O God of Mercy, God of Light

Author: Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 105 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of mercy, God of light, In love and mercy infinite, Teach us, as ever in your sight, To live our lives in you. 2 You sent your Son to die for all, That our lost world might hear your call; Oh, hear us, lest we stray and fall! We rest our hope in you. 3 Teach us the lesson Jesus taught: To feel for those his blood has bought, That ev'ry deed and word and thought May work a work for you. 4 For all are kindred, far and wide, Since Jesus Christ for all has died; Grant us the will, and grace provide To love them all in you. 5 In sickness, sorrow, want, or care, Each other's burdens help us share; May we, where help is needed, there Give help as though to you. 6 And may your Holy Spirit move All those who live to live in love, Till you receive in heav'n above Those who have lived to you.

Just as I Am, Thine Own to Be

Author: Marianne Hearn Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 227 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Just as I am, Thine own to be, Friend of the young, who lovest me, To consecrate myself to Thee, O Jesus Christ, I come. 2. In the glad morning of my day, My life to give, my vows to pay, With no reserve and no delay, With all my heart I come. 3. I would live ever in the light, I would work ever for the right; I would serve Thee with all my might; Therefore, to Thee I come. 4. Just as I am, young, strong, and free, To be the best that I can be For truth, and righteousness, and Thee, Lord of my life, I come. 5. With many dreams of fame and gold, Success and joy to make me bold, But dearer still my faith to hold, For my whole life, I come. 6. And for Thy sake to win renown, And then to take the victor’s crown, And at Thy feet to cast it down, O Master, Lord, I come.

Edvard Grieg

1843 - 1907 Person Name: Edward H. Grieg Meter: 8.8.8.6 Arranged of "BEHOLD A HOST" in Christian Classics Ethereal Hymnary Edvard Hagerup Grieg Born at Bergen, Norway, of Scottish descent, son of a merchant and vice-consul in Bergen, his mother was a music teacher. He became a pianist and composer, with his standard classical repertoire known worldwide. He developed Norwegian folk music into his own compositions, helping to develop a national musical identity. As a child his mother taught him piano from age six. He attended several schools. His uncle, a Norwegian violinist, recognized his nephew’s talents at age 15 and urged his parents to send him to the Leigzig Conservatory in Germany. He enrolled there and concentrated on piano. He enjoyed the many concerts and recitals given in Leipzig. He disliked the discipline of the conservatory course of study, but he loved the organ, mandatory for piano students. In 1860 he survived a life-threatening lung disease, pleurisy and tuberculosis. Throughout life, his health was impaired by a destroyed left lung and disformity of his thoracic spine. He suffered numerous respiratory infections, and ultimately developed combined heart and lung failure. He was admitted many times for various spas and sanatoria in both Norway and abroad. Several of his doctors became close friends. In 1861 he made his debut as a concert pianist at Karlshamm, Sweden. He finished Leipzig studies in 1862 and held a concert in his hometown, playing Beethoven’s ‘Pathetique’ sonata. In 1863 he went to Copenhagen, Denmark, remaining there three years. There he met Danish composers and a fellow Norwegian composer, Rikard Nordraak, who wrote the Norwegian National Anthem. When Nordraak died in 1866, Grieg composed a funeral march in his honor. In 1867 Grieg married his first cousin, Nina Hagerup. Their only child, Alexandra, was born the following year. She died from meningitis at age two. In 1868 he wrote his Piano Concerto in A-minor. It was performed by Edmund Nuepert in Copenhagen because Grieg was in Norway at the time, fulfilling other commitments. In 1868 Franz Liszt, not yet having met Grieg, wrote a testimonial of him, resulting in Grieg’s obtaining a travel grant. The two met in Rome in 1870. Each was impressed with the other’s musical accomplishments. Grieg had close ties with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra and became its leader 1880-1882. In 1888 Grieg met Tchaikovsky in Leipzig. He was struck by Tchaikovsky’s sadness. Tchaikovsky praised Grieg’s music. The Norwegian government awarded Grieg a pension. In 1903 he made gramophone recordings of his piano music in Paris, France. He also made live piano music rolls for the Hupfeld Phonola piano-player system and Weldt-Mignon reproducing system. He also worked with the Aeolian Company for its ‘Autograph Metro-style’ piano roll series, wherein he indicated the tempo mapping of many of his pieces. In 1906 he met pianist and composer, Percy Grainger, in London. Grainger was an admire of Grieg’s music, and they developed a strong empathy for each other. Grieg wrote of Grainger: “I have written Norwegian dances that no one in my country can play, and here comes this Australian who plays them as they ought to be played. He is a genius that we Scandinavians cannot do other than love.” Grieg and his wife considered themselves Unitarians, and attended that church denomination. When Grieg died after a long illness, at age 64, his funeral drew more than 30,000 people in his hometown, who came out to honor him. His own funeral march, in honor of Nordraak, was played, along with a 2nd march, by his friend, Johan Halvorsen, who married Grieg’s niece. Grieg was cremated, with ashes entombed in a mountain crypt. Later, his wife’s were placed with his. John Perry

Anonymous

Meter: 8.8.8.6 Author of "Thou Wilt Keep Him in Perfect Peace" in Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) 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.

Samuel Sebastian Wesley

1810 - 1876 Meter: 8.8.8.6 Composer of "HARBRIDGE" in The Cyber Hymnal Samuel Sebastian Wesley (b. London, England, 1810; d. Gloucester, England, 1876) was an English organist and composer. The grandson of Charles Wesley, he was born in London, and sang in the choir of the Chapel Royal as a boy. He learned composition and organ from his father, Samuel, completed a doctorate in music at Oxford, and composed for piano, organ, and choir. He was organist at Hereford Cathedral (1832-1835), Exeter Cathedral (1835-1842), Leeds Parish Church (1842­-1849), Winchester Cathedral (1849-1865), and Gloucester Cathedral (1865-1876). Wesley strove to improve the standards of church music and the status of church musicians; his observations and plans for reform were published as A Few Words on Cathedral Music and the Music System of the Church (1849). He was the musical editor of Charles Kemble's A Selection of Psalms and Hymns (1864) and of the Wellburn Appendix of Original Hymns and Tunes (1875) but is best known as the compiler of The European Psalmist (1872), in which some 130 of the 733 hymn tunes were written by him.

Small Church Music

Meter: 8.8.8.6 Editors: Charlotte Elliott Description: 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. 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) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs.
