Hail, Thou Source of every blessing

Author: Basil Woodd Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail, Thou Source of every blessing, Sovereign Father of mankind! Gentiles now, Thy grace possessing, In Thy courts admission find. Grateful now we fall before Thee, In Thy Church obtain a place, Now by faith behold Thy glory, Praise Thy truth, adore Thy grace. 2 Once far off, but now invited, We approach Thy sacred throne; In Thy covenant united, Reconciled, redeemed, made one. Now revealed to eastern sages, See the star of mercy shine: Mystery hid in former ages, Mystery great of love divine. 3 Hail, Thou universal Saviour! Gentiles now their offerings bring; In Thy temple seek Thy favor, Jesus Christ, our Lord and King; May we, body, soul and spirit, Live devoted to Thy praise, Glorious realms of bliss inherit, Grateful anthems ever raise. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Used With Tune: DEERHURST

Composer of "O DURCHBRECHER" in The Cyber Hymnal 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.

Gustaf Düben

1628 - 1690 Composer of "DUEBEN" in American Lutheran Hymnal Gustaf Düben (also Gustav) (1628 – 1690) was a Swedish organist and composer. Düben was born and died in Stockholm. He was the grandson of the German-born Andreas Düben, who had been organist at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig, and son of the composer and court kapellmeister Anders Düben (the Younger)]. In 1663, he succeeded his father as both hovkapellmästare, director of the Royal Swedish Court Orchestra, and organist of the German St Gertrud Church in Stockholm. He was the father of four children: Gustav von Düben the Younger (1659-1726), Joachim von Düben the Elder (1671-1730), Emerentia von Düben (1669-1743) and Anders von Düben (the Younger) (1673-1738). Gustaf the younger and Anders the Younger appears to have been the only of his children who followed in his father's footsteps as a composer, courtier and eventually kapellmeister. The Düben collection of manuscripts includes many unicae of German baroque music. --en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

Richard Redhead

1820 - 1901 Person Name: Richard Redhead, 1820-1901 Composer of "REDHEAD NO. 46" in The New English Hymnal 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).
