Crowned with Thorns upon the Tree

Author: H. Grattan Guiness, 1835-1910 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1099 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1. Crowned with thorns upon the tree, Silent in Thine agony; Dying, crushed beneath the load Of the wrath and curse of God. 2. On Thy pale and suffering brow, Mystery of love and woe; On Thy grief and sore amaze, Savior, I would fix my gaze! 3. On Thy holy, loving breast Thou dost bid the weary rest; Rest there from the world’s false ways, Rest there from its vanities. 4. Rest in pardon and relief, From the load of guilt and grief, Rest in Thy redeeming blood, Rest in perfect peace with God. 5. Sin-atoning Sacrifice, Thou art precious in mine eyes; Thou alone my rest shall be, Now and thro’ eternity. Languages: English Tune Title: CORNELIUS

H. Grattan Guinness

1835 - 1910 Person Name: H. Grattan Guiness, 1835-1910 Author of "Crowned with Thorns upon the Tree" in The Cyber Hymnal Guinness, Henry Grattan, .D.D., son of Capt. John Guinness of Dublin, was born at Mountpellier, near Dublin, in 1835. His work as an undenominational Preacher began in 1856, since which time he has visited most parts of the world in prosecuting his evangelistic labours. He has written numerous hymns and printed them privately to enclose in letters and parcels, and for general distribution. Of these the following were included in The Enlarged London Hymn Book 1873:— (1) "How beautiful the Saviour's feet" (Christ, in Glory); (2) "Thou art my joy, Lord Jesus" (The Glory of Jesus); (3) "Yes, Thou art mine, my blessed Lord" (Jesus our All). --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907) ===================== Son of Captain John Guiness, Henry was an Irish Protestant preacher and author, and the great evangelist of the Evangelical Awakening; He preached during the Ulster Revival of 1859, drawing thousands to hear him. He offered to join the China Inland Mission founded by James Hudson Taylor in 1865, but took Taylor’s advice and continued his work in London. In March 1873, Guiness and his wife Fanny started the East London Missionary Training Institute (also called Harley College) at Harley House in Bromley-by-Bow, East End of London, with just six students. The school went on to train 1,330 missionaries for 30 societies of 30 denominations. It was so successful that it needed a larger home, and in 1883, Elizabeth Hulme offered Guinness "Cliff House" near Curbar, Derbyshire. Harley College was renamed Hulme Cliff College; now known as Cliff College, it continues to this day, training and equipping Christians for missions and evangelism. Guinness founded the Livingstone Inland Mission in 1877, the Congo-Baolo Mission in 1888, and in 1898 began the Regions Beyond Missionary Union. --http://www.hymntime.com/tch

Anonymous

Composer of "CORNELIUS" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
