Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms with occasional hymns (Charleston hymnal) #H.IV (1792) Lyrics: 1 Come, let us all unite to praise
The Saviour of mankind,
Our thankful hearts, in solemn lays,
Be with our voices join'd.
2 But how shall we his love declare,
When Angels try in vain;
Their faces veil, when they appear
Before the Son of Man.
3 Yet Lord, we cannot silent be,
By love we are constrain'd
To offer our best thanks to thee,
Our Saviour and our friend.
4 Though feeble are our best essays,
Thy love will not despise
Our grateful songs of humble praise,
Our well-meant sacrifice.
5 Worship and honour, thanks and love,
Be to our Saviour giv'n;
By Men below, by hosts above,
By all in earth and heav'n! Topics: The Nativity of Our Lord and Savior Languages: English

Martin Madan
1726 - 1790 Author of "Come, let us all unite to praise" in The Sanctuary Hymnal, published by Order of the General Conference of the United Brethren in Christ Madan, Martin, son of Colonel Martin Madan, and brother of Dr. Spencer Madan, sometime Bishop of Peterborough, was born in 1726. He was to have qualified for the Bar, but through a sermon by J. Wesley on the words "Prepare to meet thy God," the whole current of his life was changed. After some difficulty he received Holy Orders, and subsequently founded and became chaplain of the Lock Hospital, Hyde Park Corner. He was popular as a preacher, and had no inconsiderable reputation as a musical composer. He ceased preaching on the publication of his work Thelyphthora, in which he advocated the practice of polygamy. He died in 1790. He published A Commentary on the Articles of the Church of England; A Treatise on the Christian Faith, &c, and:- A Collection of Psalms and Hymns Extracted from Various Authors, and published by the Reverend Mr. Madan. London, 1760.
This Collection contained 170 hymns thrown together without order or system of any kind. In 1763 he added an Appendix of 24 hymns. This Collection, referred to as Madam’s Psalms & Hymns, had for many years a most powerful influence on the hymnody of the Church of England. Nearly the whole of its contents, together with its extensively altered texts, were reprinted in numerous hymnbooks for nearly one hundred years. At the present time many of the great hymns of the last century are in use as altered by him in 1760 and 1763. Although several hymns have been attributed to him, we have no evidence that he ever wrote one. His hymnological labours were employed in altering, piecing, and expanding the work of others. And in this he was most successful.
