How fair the Church of Christ shall stand
Author: T. Kingo Appears in 4 hymnals Hymnal Title: The Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 How fair the Church of Christ shall stand,
A beacon-light in all the land,
When love and faith all hearts inspire,
And all unite in one desire
To be as brothers, and agree
To live in peace and unity.
2 'Tis all in vain that you profess
The doctrines of the Church, unless
You live according to your creed,
And show your faith by word and deed.
Observe the rule: To others do
As you would have them do to you.
3 Resentment, hate, and cruel jest,
Must not be harbored in the breast
Where love and charity should dwell;
Then, think and speak of others well,
Refrain from all that causes strife
And mars a truly Christian life.
4 So let your tongue, your heart, and mind
Agree to banish every kind
Of malice, falsehood and disguise,
And here on earth a paradise
Of peace and harmony maintain,
Where concord and good-will shall reign.
5 For God observes our thoughts and deeds,
The secrets of our heart He reads;
The wicked can not be concealed,
Their evil ways shall be revealed,
He every true believer knows,
And love and grace on him bestows.
6 My soul, be therefore of good cheer,
Though sinners threaten, scoff, and sneer,
Serenely on your way proceed,
Nor worldly strife and clamor heed,
For Jesus' sake the cross you bear,
And soon with Him the crown shall wear.
7 O gracious God, wilt Thou my heart
So fashion in each secret part,
That Thou be sanctified in me,
Till Thee in heaven above I see,
Where holy, holy, holy, Lord,
We sing to Thee with sweet accord. Topics: The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Trinity; Brotherly Love; Communion of Saints Used With Tune: [How fair the Church of Christ shall stand]

In the spring of 1879 he moved to North Dakota and took up a homestead near Hatton, Traill county. Here he taught school part of the time while holding the claim, which he proved up in 1884 and sold in 1886, when he moved to Decorah, la. He was then employed in the mailing department of "Decorahposten" until Sept. 1887, when he accepted a position as shipping and mailing clerk with the Lutheran Publishing House. . With this institution he remained 17 years. In October 1904 he accepted a position as manager of "Skandinaven's" Book Department, of which he is still in charge.

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Person Name: J. B. Dykes, 1823-76 Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary Composer of "MELITA" in Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern.
