Here, Lord, we offer Thee all that is fairest

Author: A. G. W. Blunt, 1827-1902 Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Here, Lord, we offer Thee all that is fairest, Bloom from the garden, and flowers from the field, Gifts for the stricken ones, knowing Thou carest More for the love than the wealth that we yield. 2 Speak, Lord, by these to the sick and the dying; Speak to their hearts with a message of peace; Comfort the sad, who in weakness are lying; Grant the departing a gentle release. 3 Raise, Lord, to health again those who have sickened, Fair be their lives as the roses in bloom; Give of Thy grace to the souls Thou hast quickened, Gladness for sorrow and brightness for gloom. 4 We, Lord, like flowers, must bloom and must wither; We, like these blossoms, must fade and must die; Gather us, Lord, to Thy bosom for ever, Grant us a place in Thy home in the sky.

Henry J. Gauntlett

1805 - 1876 Person Name: Henry John Gauntlett, 1805-1876 Composer of "SPRINGFIELD" in The Book of Praise 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
