Author: Joseph Johnson Hymnal: Voices Together #539 (2020) Meter: 8.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God speaks to us in bird and song,
in winds that drift the clouds along,
above the din and toil of wrong,
a melody of love.
2 God speaks to us in far and near,
in peace of home and friends most dear,
from faded past and present clear,
a melody of love.
3 God speaks to us in darkest night,
by quiet ways through mornings bright,
when shadows fall with evening light,
a melody of love.
4 O Voice divine, speak unto me,
beyond the earth, beyond the sea,
and let me echo joyfully
a melody of love. Topics: Animals; Children Appropriate for; Creation Beauty of; Darkness and Light; Evening; Friendship; God Love of; Morning; Music; Time Scripture: Psalm 19:1-6 Tune Title: EVENING LIGHT

Joseph Harker
1880 - 1970 Person Name: J. Harker Composer of "[God speaks to us in bird and song]" in Gospel Melodies and Evangelistic Hymns Joseph Harker, Jr., was born on March 6, 1880, in Alnwick, Northumberland, England, into a musical Methodist family. They moved to the Newcastle-upon-Tyne area in 1900. He taught music for several years in his home in Simonside Street in Wallsend, commemorating this name in one of his hymn tunes (No. 543 in the 1985 Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal). He evidently inherited musical talent from his father, Joseph Harker, Sr., who at one time owned a music shop in the coastal port of Amble.
Joseph, Jr., married in 1905, and soon after joined the Seventh-day Adventist church. In 1916 he was invited to work part-time in the North England Conference. Two years later he was appointed president of the Irish Mission, holding that office for the quadrennium.
He was then transferred to pastoral work in the South England Conference, but in 1939 he was recalled to the British Union as leader of the Youth and the Home Missionary Departments to fill the gap left by the early demise of his predecessor. He continued there until 1946 when he retired to Reading in Berkshire. He served as elder in the church there for several more years before his death on May 15, 1970. His obituary noted, "Some of our best-loved and oft-used hymns came from his pen ... . His compositions will continue to inspire us until we, with him, can hear the angels sing!"
