All Who Love and Serve Your City

Author: Erik Routley Hymnal: Ecumenical Praise #54 (1977) Lyrics: 1 All who love and serve your city, All who bear its daily stress, All who cry for peace and justice, All who curse and all who bless. 2 In your day of loss and sorrow, In your day of helpless strife, Honor, peace and love retreating, Seek the Lord, who is your life. 3 In your day of wealth and plenty, Wasted work and wasted play, Call to mind the word of Jesus, 'Work ye yet while it is day.' 4 For all days are days of judgment, And the Lord is waiting still, Drawing near to men who spurn him, Offering peace from Calvary's hill. 5 Risen Lord, shall yet the city, Be the city of despair? Come today, our Judge, our Glory, Be its name, 'The Lord is there!' Topics: Christian Concern Society and City Scripture: Luke 19:41 Languages: English Tune Title: BIRABUS

Martin Shaw

1875 - 1958 Person Name: Martin Shaw 1875-1958 Composer of "MARCHING" in The Australian Hymn Book with Catholic Supplement Martin F. Shaw was educated at the Royal College of Music in London and was organist and choirmaster at St. Mary's, Primrose Hill (1908-1920), St. Martin's in the Fields (1920-1924), and the Eccleston Guild House (1924-1935). From 1935 to 1945 he served as music director for the diocese of Chelmsford. He established the Purcell Operatic Society and was a founder of the Plainsong and Medieval Society and what later became the Royal Society of Church Music. Author of The Principles of English Church Music Composition (1921), Shaw was a notable reformer of English church music. He worked with Percy Dearmer (his rector at St. Mary's in Primrose Hill); Ralph Vaughan Williams, and his brother Geoffrey Shaw in publishing hymnals such as Songs of Praise (1925, 1931) and the Oxford Book of Carols (1928). A leader in the revival of English opera and folk music scholarship, Shaw composed some one hundred songs as well as anthems and service music; some of his best hymn tunes were published in his Additional Tunes in Use at St. Mary's (1915).

John Hughes

1872 - 1914 Composer of "CALON LÂN" in Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs [Landore] John Hughes was born in 1872 in Penybryn Pembrokeshire, but when he was 3 the family moved to Swansea. He left school at 11 to become an office boy in the Dyffryn Steel Works Morriston and at the time of his death in 1914 he had become the Marketing Manager for the company and travelled worldwide for the business. He taught himself 6 languages. John Hughes composed many hymn tunes while he was travelling. Many of them were for "Gymanfa Ganu" which were popular annual singing festivals in Wales. One day he was approached by Daniel James who asked him to put music to a poem which he had written. John Hughes did so, and played it for the first time on the organ of Philadelphia Chapel where he was the organist. The rest of the story is well known! John married Mary Ann Thomas, and they had 3 daughters, the eldest of whom was my mother. John Hughes died of a cereberal haemorrage in June 1914 at the age of 42, and is buried in the graveyard of Caersalem Chapel in Treboeth Swansea. G. Dunstone (grandson) ================== Born: February 13, 1872, Pen-y-bryn, Pembrokeshire, Wales. Died: June 16, 1914, Stockwell Villas, Mount Pleasant, Swansea, Wales, of a cerebral hemorrhage. Buried: Caersalem Newydd Baptist Chapel, Treboeth, Swansea, Wales Hughes’ family moved to Swansea when he around two years old. He is sometimes confused with the John Hughes who wrote the tune CWM RHONDDA. After following his usual duties at the works on Monday 15th June 1914, John Hughes at night drove an employee, who had a piece of steel lodged in his hand, from Morriston, to the Hospital. It was late when he retired, in his usual cheerful mood, apparently in the best of health, but he soon became ill and his death at 6.45am on Tuesday morning, the 16th June 1914, was caused by a clot of blood on the brain. He died at his residence No. 3 Stockwell Villas, Mount Pleasant, Swansea. He left a widow and three small children. All his friends were extremely grieved to hear of his untimely death at the age of 42. His death deprived the Duffryn Works of a highly capable manager. John’s fresh colour and robust appearance generally flattered, only to deceive. His sad demise came as a great shock to the inhabitants of Morriston, where he was personally known to almost everyone. He died at number 3 Stockwell Villas, Swansea, on the 16th June 1914, aged forty-two, and was buried in the cemetery of Caersalem Newydd Welsh Baptist Chapel in Treboeth, with his parents.
