As Near the Wished for Port We Draw

Author: Charles E. York Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. As near the wished for port we draw We lift our hearts in praise to Thee, Almighty Father, loving Lord, Our Pilot on the troubled sea. 2. By Thy good care in peace we come, From fire and foe securely kept, And after tempest, at Thy word, The waves have laid them down and slept. 3. As Thou hast giv’n us outward calm, So, Lord, within us may there be A peace divine, a peace in Him, Through whom alone we live to Thee. 4. Give us more light, direct our course, Cleanse us from guile, our hearts renew; Let not dark clouds of sin shut out The star of Jesus from our view. 5. And then, our long life voyage o’er, And past the perils of the sea, Receive us on the blissful shore, To everlasting rest with Thee. 6. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom Heav’n and earth adore, Be glory as it was of old, Is now, and shall be evermore. Used With Tune: MELCOMBE Text Sources: Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1889

Samuel Webbe

1740 - 1816 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Composer of "MELCOMBE" in The Cyber Hymnal Samuel Webbe (the elder; b. London, England, 1740; d. London, 1816) Webbe's father died soon after Samuel was born without providing financial security for the family. Thus Webbe received little education and was apprenticed to a cabinet­maker at the age of eleven. However, he was determined to study and taught himself Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French, German, and Italian while working on his apprentice­ship. He also worked as a music copyist and received musical training from Carl Barbant, organist at the Bavarian Embassy. Restricted at this time in England, Roman Catholic worship was freely permitted in the foreign embassies. Because Webbe was Roman Catholic, he became organist at the Portuguese Chapel and later at the Sardinian and Spanish chapels in their respective embassies. He wrote much music for Roman Catholic services and composed hymn tunes, motets, and madrigals. Webbe is considered an outstanding composer of glees and catches, as is evident in his nine published collections of these smaller choral works. He also published A Collection of Sacred Music (c. 1790), A Collection of Masses for Small Choirs (1792), and, with his son Samuel (the younger), Antiphons in Six Books of Anthems (1818). Bert Polman
