God of Pity, God of Grace

Author: Eliza F. Morris Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1979 Meter: 7.7.7.5 Lyrics: 1. God of pity, God of grace, When we humbly seek Thy face, Bend from Heav’n, Thy dwelling place; Hear, forgive, and save. 2. When we in Thy temple meet, Spread our wants before Thy feet, Pleading at Thy mercy seat, Look from Heav’n and save. 3. When Thy love our hearts shall fill, And we long to do Thy will, Turning to Thy holy hill, Lord, accept and save. 4. Should we wander from Thy fold, And our love to Thee grow cold, With a pitying eye behold; Lord, forgive and save. 5. Should the hand of sorrow press, Earthly care and want distress, May our souls Thy peace possess; Jesus, hear and save. 6. And, whate’er our cry may be, When we lift our hearts to Thee, From our burden set us free; Hear, forgive, and save. Languages: English Tune Title: ETERNITY (Wesley)

Arthur Sullivan

1842 - 1900 Person Name: A. S. Sullivan Composer of "[God of pity, God of grace]" in Select Songs No. 2 Arthur Seymour Sullivan (b Lambeth, London. England. 1842; d. Westminster, London, 1900) was born of an Italian mother and an Irish father who was an army band­master and a professor of music. Sullivan entered the Chapel Royal as a chorister in 1854. He was elected as the first Mendelssohn scholar in 1856, when he began his studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He also studied at the Leipzig Conservatory (1858-1861) and in 1866 was appointed professor of composition at the Royal Academy of Music. Early in his career Sullivan composed oratorios and music for some Shakespeare plays. However, he is best known for writing the music for lyrics by William S. Gilbert, which produced popular operettas such as H.M.S. Pinafore (1878), The Pirates of Penzance (1879), The Mikado (1884), and Yeomen of the Guard (1888). These operettas satirized the court and everyday life in Victorian times. Although he com­posed some anthems, in the area of church music Sullivan is best remembered for his hymn tunes, written between 1867 and 1874 and published in The Hymnary (1872) and Church Hymns (1874), both of which he edited. He contributed hymns to A Hymnal Chiefly from The Book of Praise (1867) and to the Presbyterian collection Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (1867). A complete collection of his hymns and arrangements was published posthumously as Hymn Tunes by Arthur Sullivan (1902). Sullivan steadfastly refused to grant permission to those who wished to make hymn tunes from the popular melodies in his operettas. Bert Polman

Henry J. Gauntlett

1805 - 1876 Person Name: Henry John Gauntlett (1806-1876) Arranger of "TREVES" in Songs of Praise with Tunes Henry J. Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, July 9, 1805; d. London, England, February 21, 1876) When he was nine years old, Henry John Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, England, 1805; d. Kensington, London, England, 1876) became organist at his father's church in Olney, Buckinghamshire. At his father's insistence he studied law, practicing it until 1844, after which he chose to devote the rest of his life to music. He was an organist in various churches in the London area and became an important figure in the history of British pipe organs. A designer of organs for William Hill's company, Gauntlett extend­ed the organ pedal range and in 1851 took out a patent on electric action for organs. Felix Mendelssohn chose him to play the organ part at the first performance of Elijah in Birmingham, England, in 1846. Gauntlett is said to have composed some ten thousand hymn tunes, most of which have been forgotten. Also a supporter of the use of plainchant in the church, Gauntlett published the Gregorian Hymnal of Matins and Evensong (1844). Bert Polman
