I Come with Joy to Meet My Lord

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Songs for Life #64 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I come with joy to meet my Lord, forgiven, loved, and free; in awe and wonder to recall his life laid down for me. 2 I come with Christians far and near to find, as all are fed, the new community of love in Christ's communion bread. 3 As Christ breaks bread and bids us share, each proud division ends; the love that made us, makes us one, and strangers now are friends. 4 And thus with joy we meet our Lord; his presence, always near, is in such friendship better known: we see and praise him here. 5 Together met, together bound, we'll go our different ways; and as his people in the world, we'll live and speak his praise.

Ralph Vaughan Williams

1872 - 1958 Person Name: R. Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) Harmonizer of "THIS ENDRIS NYGHT" in Hymns for Celebration Through his composing, conducting, collecting, editing, and teaching, Ralph Vaughan Williams (b. Down Ampney, Gloucestershire, England, October 12, 1872; d. Westminster, London, England, August 26, 1958) became the chief figure in the realm of English music and church music in the first half of the twentieth century. His education included instruction at the Royal College of Music in London and Trinity College, Cambridge, as well as additional studies in Berlin and Paris. During World War I he served in the army medical corps in France. Vaughan Williams taught music at the Royal College of Music (1920-1940), conducted the Bach Choir in London (1920-1927), and directed the Leith Hill Music Festival in Dorking (1905-1953). A major influence in his life was the English folk song. A knowledgeable collector of folk songs, he was also a member of the Folksong Society and a supporter of the English Folk Dance Society. Vaughan Williams wrote various articles and books, including National Music (1935), and composed numerous arrangeĀ­ments of folk songs; many of his compositions show the impact of folk rhythms and melodic modes. His original compositions cover nearly all musical genres, from orchestral symphonies and concertos to choral works, from songs to operas, and from chamber music to music for films. Vaughan Williams's church music includes anthems; choral-orchestral works, such as Magnificat (1932), Dona Nobis Pacem (1936), and Hodie (1953); and hymn tune settings for organ. But most important to the history of hymnody, he was music editor of the most influential British hymnal at the beginning of the twentieth century, The English Hymnal (1906), and coeditor (with Martin Shaw) of Songs of Praise (1925, 1931) and the Oxford Book of Carols (1928).
