Author: W. Austin, d. 1633 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #293 Lyrics: 1. All this night bright angels sing, Never was such caroling, Hark! a voice which loudly cries, Mortals, mortals, wake and rise. Lo! to gladness turns your sadness: From the earth is ris’n a Son, Shines all night tho’ day be done. 2. Wake, O earth, wake ev’ry thing, Wake and hear the joy I bring: Wake and joy; for all this night, Heav’n and ev’ry twinkling light, All amazing, still stand gazing, Angels, pow’rs and all that be, Wake, and joy this Son to see. 3. Hail! O Son, O blessèd Light, Sent into this world by night; Let Thy rays and heav’nly pow’rs, Shine in these dark souls of ours. For most duly, Thou art truly God and Man, we do confess: Hail, O Sun of Righteousness! Languages: English Tune Title: [All this night bright angels sing]

Arthur Sullivan

1842 - 1900 Person Name: Arthur Seymour Sullvivan, 1842-1900 Composer of "[All this night bright angels sing]" in The Cyber Hymnal Arthur Seymour Sullivan (b Lambeth, London. England. 1842; d. Westminster, London, 1900) was born of an Italian mother and an Irish father who was an army bandmaster and a professor of music. Sullivan entered the Chapel Royal as a chorister in 1854. He was elected as the first Mendelssohn scholar in 1856, when he began his studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He also studied at the Leipzig Conservatory (1858-1861) and in 1866 was appointed professor of composition at the Royal Academy of Music. Early in his career Sullivan composed oratorios and music for some Shakespeare plays. However, he is best known for writing the music for lyrics by William S. Gilbert, which produced popular operettas such as H.M.S. Pinafore (1878), The Pirates of Penzance (1879), The Mikado (1884), and Yeomen of the Guard (1888). These operettas satirized the court and everyday life in Victorian times. Although he composed some anthems, in the area of church music Sullivan is best remembered for his hymn tunes, written between 1867 and 1874 and published in The Hymnary (1872) and Church Hymns (1874), both of which he edited. He contributed hymns to A Hymnal Chiefly from The Book of Praise (1867) and to the Presbyterian collection Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (1867). A complete collection of his hymns and arrangements was published posthumously as Hymn Tunes by Arthur Sullivan (1902). Sullivan steadfastly refused to grant permission to those who wished to make hymn tunes from the popular melodies in his operettas. Bert Polman
