From Thee All Skill and Science Flow

Author: Charles Kingsley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1647 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. From Thee all skill and science flow, All pity, care and love, All calm and courage, faith and hope; O pour them from above. 2. And part them, Lord, to each and all, As each and all shall need, To rise, like incense, each to Thee, In noble thought and deed. 3. And hasten, Lord, that perfect day When pain and death shall cease; And Thy just rule shall fill the earth With health, and light, and peace. 4. When ever blue the sky shall gleam, And ever green the sod; And man’s rude work deface no more The paradise of God. The original version of this hymn started with these verses: Accept this building, gracious Lord, No temple though it be; We raised it for our suffering kin, And so, good Lord, for Thee. Accept our little gift, and give, To all who may here dwell, The will and power to do their work, Or bear their sorrows well. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETER (Reinagle)

Michael Perry

1942 - 1996 Person Name: Michael Arnold Perry, 1942-1996 Adapter of "From You all skill and science flow" in The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook Initially studying mathematics and physics at Dulwich College, Michael A. Perry (b. Beckenham, Kent, England, 1942; d. England, 1996) was headed for a career in the sciences. However, after one year of study in physics at the University of London, he transferred to Oak Hill College to study theology. He also studied at Ridley Hall, Cambridge, and received a M.Phil. from the University of Southhampton in 1973. Ordained a priest in the Church of England in 1966, Perry served the parish of St. Helen's in Liverpool as a youth worker and evangelist. From 1972 to 1981 he was the vicar of Bitterne in Southhampton and from 1981 to 1989, rector of Eversley in Hampshire and chaplain at the Police Staff College. He then became vicar of Tonbridge in Kent, where he remained until his death from a brain tumor in 1996. Perry published widely in the areas of Bible study and worship. He edited Jubilate publications such as Hymns far Today's Church (1982), Carols for Today (1986), Come Rejoice! (1989), and Psalms for Today (1990). Composer of the musical drama Coming Home (1987), he also wrote more than two hundred hymns and Bible versifications. Bert Polman

Richard Redhead

1820 - 1901 Composer of "ST. FLAVIAN" in Rejoice in the Lord Richard Redhead (b. Harrow, Middlesex, England, 1820; d. Hellingley, Sussex, England, 1901) was a chorister at Magdalen College, Oxford. At age nineteen he was invited to become organist at Margaret Chapel (later All Saints Church), London. Greatly influencing the musical tradition of the church, he remained in that position for twenty-five years as organist and an excellent trainer of the boys' choirs. Redhead and the church's rector, Frederick Oakeley, were strongly committed to the Oxford Movement, which favored the introduction of Roman elements into Anglican worship. Together they produced the first Anglican plainsong psalter, Laudes Diurnae (1843). Redhead spent the latter part of his career as organist at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Paddington (1864-1894).

William Gardiner

1770 - 1853 Person Name: W. Gardiner (1770-1853) Composer of "BELMONT" in Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) William Gardiner (b. Leicester, England, 1770; d. Leicester, 1853) The son of an English hosiery manufacturer, Gardiner took up his father's trade in addition to writing about music, composing, and editing. Having met Joseph Haydn and Ludwig van Beethoven on his business travels, Gardiner then proceeded to help popularize their compositions, especially Beethoven's, in England. He recorded his memories of various musicians in Music and Friends (3 volumes, 1838-1853). In the first two volumes of Sacred Melodies (1812, 1815), Gardiner turned melodies from composers such as Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven into hymn tunes in an attempt to rejuvenate the singing of psalms. His work became an important model for American editors like Lowell Mason (see Mason's Boston Handel and Haydn Collection, 1822), and later hymnbook editors often turned to Gardiner as a source of tunes derived from classical music.
