The Savior blest was born today.

And shall in heaven praise His name.

A Goodly Pearl Lies Hidden Well
Author: P. C. Paulsen Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Tune Title: [A goodly pearl lies hidden well] Lyrics: 1 A goodly pearl lies hidden well,
The place no worldly mind can tell,
But to the seeker of the Lord
It is revealed within His word.
2 This goodly pearl of beauty rare,
Excels by far all jewels fair;
It spreads abroad a luster bright
That fill each heart with great delight.
3 Well him who sold his goods to buy
This goodly pearl, of value high,
A wealth of mercy, grace, and love
Is given him from heav'n above.
4 This goodly pearl protects the heart
And sets it from the world apart;
Where'er its light shines bright and clear,
All sin and shame must disappear.
5 Though clouds obscure the sun of day
And gloom of night falls on the way,
This goodly pearl shall ever shine
And lead him by its light divine.
6 The owner, watched by heav'n above
An object of its grace and love,
Some day receives a call to come
And praise this pearl with saints at home. Topics: Spiritual Songs Jesus Christ Used With Tune: [A goodly pearl lies hidden well]

Sidney Dyer
1814 - 1898 Tune Title: ABBOTSFORD Meter: 8.8.8.8 Author of "Great Maker Of Unnumbered Worlds" in The Cyber Hymnal Dyer, Sidney, who served in the U. S. Army from 1831 to c. 1840, is a native of White Creek, Washington County, New York, where he was born in 1814. On leaving the army he was ordained a Baptist Minister in 1842, and acted first as a Missionary to the Choctaws, then as Pastor in Indianapolis, Indiana (1852), and as Secretary to the Baptist Publication Society, Phila. (1859). He has published sundry works, and in the Southwestern Psalmist, 1851, 16 of his hymns are found.
The following are later and undated:—
1. Go, preach the blest salvation. Missions. In the Baptist Praise Book, 1871, and The Baptist Hymn & Tune Book, 1871.
2. Great Framer [Maker] of unnumbered worlds. National Humiliation. In the Boston Unitarian Hymn [and Tune] Book, 1868, and others.
3. When faint and weary toiling. Work whilst it is day. In the Baptist Praise Book, 1871.
4. Work, for the night is coming. Duty. This hymn is in wider use than the foregoing, but though often ascribed to Dyer, is really by Miss Anna L. Walker, of Canada, who published a volume of Poems, 1868. S. Dyer, in 1854, wrote a hymn on the same subject for a Sunday-school in Indianapolis, and hence the confusion between the two. In 1882 a cento beginning with the same stanza was given in Whiting's (English) Hymns for the Church Catholic, No. 366. Of this cento, stanzas i., ii. are by Miss Walker; and stanzas iii., iv. by Miss Whiting, daughter of the editor of that collection. [Rev.F. M. Bird, M.A.]

Wrote a large number of hymns in Sunday School as well as church collections. In 1851, he published The South Western Psalmist (Louisville), which became known as Dyer's Psalmist. Of 467 hymns, 16 are by Dyer. Also wrote a prize-winning hymn "O wondrous land! thy onward march sublime" for the Jubilee of the American Baptist Home Mission Society which was help in New York in 1882. This 66-stanza hymn may be found in Baptist Home Missions in North America: Including a Full Report of the Proceedings and Address of the Jubilee Meeting . . . (New York: Baptist Home Mission Rooms, 1883). "Work, for the night is coming," written by Annie L. (Walker) Coghill, was sometimes ascribed to Dyer. The confusion arose when, in 1854, Dyer wrote a text on the same subject for a Sunday School in Indianapolis.
