Great God, We Praise Your Mighty Love
Author: Alan Gaunt (1935-) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #289 (1998) Meter: 8.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Great God we praise your mighty love
which urges us to rise above
constricting doubts and fears;
your purpose is to set us free
to live our lives creatively
throughout the coming years.
2 We praise you for the love we see
in husband, wife and family,
in friends and neighbours too;
the love which nurtured us from birth,
the love which teaches human worth
and lifts our minds to you.
3 We praise you most for love supreme
which breaks through pain and death to stream
in unrestricted light;
which from Christ's resurrection dawn
has shone, and never been withdrawn,
to make our future bright.
4 For by your perfect love refined,
our own will not be undermined
by futile guilt and shame;
but through disaster, grief and strife
we'll reaffirm the joy of life
and glorify your name. Topics: Marriage; Family; Marriage Scripture: Matthew 19:3-6 Languages: English Tune Title: WILLOUGHBY NEW

Samuel Sebastian Wesley
1810 - 1876 Person Name: S. S. Wesley (1810-1876) Composer of "CORNWALL" in Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) Samuel Sebastian Wesley (b. London, England, 1810; d. Gloucester, England, 1876) was an English organist and composer. The grandson of Charles Wesley, he was born in London, and sang in the choir of the Chapel Royal as a boy. He learned composition and organ from his father, Samuel, completed a doctorate in music at Oxford, and composed for piano, organ, and choir. He was organist at Hereford Cathedral (1832-1835), Exeter Cathedral (1835-1842), Leeds Parish Church (1842-1849), Winchester Cathedral (1849-1865), and Gloucester Cathedral (1865-1876). Wesley strove to improve the standards of church music and the status of church musicians; his observations and plans for reform were published as A Few Words on Cathedral Music and the Music System of the Church (1849). He was the musical editor of Charles Kemble's A Selection of Psalms and Hymns (1864) and of the Wellburn Appendix of Original Hymns and Tunes (1875) but is best known as the compiler of The European Psalmist (1872), in which some 130 of the 733 hymn tunes were written by him.
