God of mercy, throned on high
Author: Henry Neele, d. 1828 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of mercy, throned on high,
Listen from Thy lofty seat;
Hear, oh, hear our lowly cry!
Guide, oh, guide our wandering feet!
2 Young and erring travellers, we
All our dangers do not know;
Scarcely fear the stormy sea,
Hardly feel the tempest blow.
3 Jesus, lover of the young,
Cleanse us with Thy blood divine;
Ere the tide of sin grow strong,
make us, take us, keep us Thine.
4 When perplexed in dangers' snare,
Thou alone our guide cast be;
When oppressed with deepest care,
Whom have we to trust but Thee?
5 Let us ever hear Thy voice,
Ask Thy counsel every day:
Saint and angels will rejoice,
If we walk in wisdom's way.
6 Saviour, give us faith, and pour
Hope and love on every soul;
Hope, till time shall be no more;
Love, while endless ages roll.
Amen.

Henry Neele
1798 - 1828 Person Name: Henry Neele, d. 1828 Author of "God of mercy, throned on high" 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 Neele, Henry, son of a map and heraldic engraver in the Strand, London, was born in London, Jan. 29, 1798. He was educated for the Law, and practised as a solicitor. In 1817 he published a volume of Poems, and in 1823 a volume of Dramatic and Miscellaneous Poetry. These were followed by contributions to several magazines; the delivery of Lectures on English Poetry at the Russell, and again at the Western Literary Institution, in 1827; and the publication of his largest work, The Romance of English History, 1827. His mind gave way under the pressure of work, and he died by his own hand, Feb. 7, 1828. His Lectures on English Poetry, with Miscellaneous Tales and Poems, were published posthumously, in 1829. In this work the following "Hymns for Children" are found:—
1. O Thou! Who sittest enthroned on high. Child's Prayer.
2. O Thou! Who makest the sun to shine. Child's Prayer.
3. God of mercy, throned on high. Child's Prayer. Usually given with the same first line but altered as in E. Bickersteth's Christian Psalmody, 1833. No. 438
4. Remember Him, for He is great. Remember thy Creator. Of these hymns No. 3 is widely used.
--John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

Person Name: Anon. Composer of "CHILDREN'S PRAISES" in Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church 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.

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Person Name: Rev. J. B. Dykes, Mus. Doc. Composer of "GOD OF MERCY, THRONED ON HIGH" 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 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.
