Behold the Saviour of Mankind

Author: Samuel Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 389 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold the Saviour of mankind Nailed to the shameful tree; How vast the love that Him inclined To bleed and die for thee! 2 Hark! how He groans, while nature shakes, And earth's strong pillars bend: The temple's veil in sunder breaks, The solid marbles rend. 3 'Tis done! the precious ransom's paid! "Receive My soul!" He cries: See where He bows His sacred head; He bows His head and dies! 4 But soon He'll break death's envious chain, And in full glory shine: O Lamb of God, was ever pain, Was ever love, like Thine?

Hugh Wilson

1766 - 1824 Composer of "MARTYRDOM" in The Cyber Hymnal Hugh Wilson (b. Fenwick, Ayrshire, Scotland, c. 1766; d. Duntocher, Scotland, 1824) learned the shoemaker trade from his father. He also studied music and mathematics and became proficient enough in various subjects to become a part-­time teacher to the villagers. Around 1800, he moved to Pollokshaws to work in the cotton mills and later moved to Duntocher, where he became a draftsman in the local mill. He also made sundials and composed hymn tunes as a hobby. Wilson was a member of the Secession Church, which had separated from the Church of Scotland. He served as a manager and precentor in the church in Duntocher and helped found its first Sunday school. It is thought that he composed and adapted a number of psalm tunes, but only two have survived because he gave instructions shortly before his death that all his music manuscripts were to be destroyed.

Joseph Haydn

1732 - 1809 Person Name: Haydn Composer of "MANOAH" in The Wesleyan Methodist Hymnal Franz Joseph Haydn (b. Rohrau, Austria, 1732; d. Vienna, Austria, 1809) Haydn's life was relatively uneventful, but his artistic legacy was truly astounding. He began his musical career as a choirboy in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, spent some years in that city making a precarious living as a music teacher and composer, and then served as music director for the Esterhazy family from 1761 to 1790. Haydn became a most productive and widely respected composer of symphonies, chamber music, and piano sonatas. In his retirement years he took two extended tours to England, which resulted in his "London" symphonies and (because of G. F. Handel's influence) in oratorios. Haydn's church music includes six great Masses and a few original hymn tunes. Hymnal editors have also arranged hymn tunes from various themes in Haydn's music. Bert Polman
