Almighty Lord, Whose Sovereign Right
Author: Evelyn R. Hasse, 1855-1918 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Almighty Lord, Whose sovereign right
Extends o’er every nation,
We bless Thee for the gospel light
That brought to us salvation.
And unto Thee we raise our payer
For all in darkness dwelling,
That they with us Thy light may share,
With us Thy praise be telling.
2 As with Thine eyes, Lord, may we see
The world in darkness lying;
And may Thy love the motive be
To save the lost, the dying.
So may our love and faith increase,
Our fervor and devotion;
To speed the messengers of peace
O’er every land and ocean.
3 There evermore be with them, Lord,
And evermore befriend them;
Be Thou their Shield and Great Reward
To succour and defend them.
Prosper their faithful ministry,
Till, in the day appointed,
The kingdoms of the world shall be
The realm of Thine Anointed. Topics: The Church's Life and Work Spread of the Gospel Used With Tune: CONSTANCE

Extends o’er every nation,
We bless Thee for the Gospel light
That brought to us salvation.
And unto Thee we raise our prayer
For all in darkness dwelling,
That they with us Thy light may share,
With us Thy praise be telling.
2 O, hear us as we call on Thee
For all the truth possessing;
That they may ever ready be
To share the heavenly blessing.
To send to earth’s remotest shore
The gladdening Gospel story,
That all the heathen may adore
Jesus, the King of Glory.

The world in darkness lying;
And may Thy love the motive be
To save the lost, the dying.
The precious harvest waiting lies,
But few the workers number—
O Church of Christ! arise! arise!
Arouse thee from thy slumber!
4 Lord, Lord, the impulse must be Thine,
Forgive our sloth, our dullness;
O quicken us with life divine,
With all Thy Spirit’s fullness.
So may our love and faith increase.
Our fervor and devotion;
To speed the messengers of peace
O’er every land and ocean.

And evermore befriend them;
Be Thou their shield and great reward
To succor and defend them.
Prosper their faithful ministry,
Till, in the day appointed,
The kingdoms of the world shall be
The realm of Thine Anointed. Languages: English Tune Title: CONSTANCE (Sullivan)

Arthur Sullivan
1842 - 1900 Person Name: Arthur Sullivan, 1842-1900 Composer of "CONSTANCE" in Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church 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.
