Call Jehovah Thy Salvation

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns to the Living God #91 (2023) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Call Jehovah thy salvation, rest beneath th'Almighty's shade; in His secret habitation dwell, and never be dismayed. There no tumult shall alarm thee, thou shalt dread no hidden snare; guile nor violence can harm thee in eternal safeguard there. 2 From the sword at noonday wasting, from the noisome pestilence, in the depth of midnight blasting, God shall be thy sure defense. Fear not thou the deadly quiver, when a thousand feel the blow; mercy shall thy soul deliver, tho' ten thousand be laid low. 3 Only with thine eyes the anguish of the wicked thou shalt see, when by slow disease they languish, when they perish suddenly. Thee, tho' winds and waves be swelling, God, thine hope, shall bear thro' all; plague shall not come nigh thy dwelling, thee no evil shall befall.

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy

1809 - 1847 Person Name: Mendelssohn Composer of "[Call Jehovah thy salvation]" in The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (b. Hamburg, Germany, 1809; d. Leipzig, Germany, 1847) was the son of banker Abraham Mendelssohn and the grandson of philosopher Moses Mendelssohn. His Jewish family became Christian and took the Bartholdy name (name of the estate of Mendelssohn's uncle) when baptized into the Lutheran church. The children all received an excellent musical education. Mendelssohn had his first public performance at the age of nine and by the age of sixteen had written several symphonies. Profoundly influenced by J. S. Bach's music, he conducted a performance of the St. Matthew Passion in 1829 (at age 20!) – the first performance since Bach's death, thus reintroducing Bach to the world. Mendelssohn organized the Domchor in Berlin and founded the Leipzig Conservatory of Music in 1843. Traveling widely, he not only became familiar with various styles of music but also became well known himself in countries other than Germany, especially in England. He left a rich treasury of music: organ and piano works, overtures and incidental music, oratorios (including St. Paul or Elijah and choral works, and symphonies. He harmonized a number of hymn tunes himself, but hymnbook editors also arranged some of his other tunes into hymn tunes. Bert Polman

John Bacchus Dykes

1823 - 1876 Person Name: John B. Dykes Composer of "[Call Jehovah thy salvation]" in New Jewish Hymnal for Religious Schools and Junior Congregations. 8th ed. As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern. Bert Polman

Rowland Hugh Prichard

1811 - 1887 Composer of "HYFRYDOL" in The Hymnbook Rowland H. Prichard (sometimes spelled Pritchard) (b. Graienyn, near Bala, Merionetshire, Wales, 1811; d. Holywell, Flintshire, Wales, 1887) was a textile worker and an amateur musician. He had a good singing voice and was appointed precentor in Graienyn. Many of his tunes were published in Welsh periodicals. In 1880 Prichard became a loom tender's assistant at the Welsh Flannel Manufacturing Company in Holywell. Bert Polman
