Wilde, 1826-1896 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 58 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, refuge of the weary, blest redeemer, whom we love, fountain in life's desert dreary, Savior from the world above: often have your eyes, offended, gazed upon the sinner's fall; yet upon the cross extended, you have borne the pain of all. 2 Do we pass that cross unheeding, breathing no repentant vow, though we see you wounded, bleeding, see your thorn-encircled brow? Yet your sinless death has brought us life eternal, peace and rest; only what your grace hath taught us calms the sinner's deep distress. 3 Jesus, may our hearts be burning with more fervent love for you; may our eyes be ever turning to behold your cross anew till in glory, parted never from the blessed Savior's side, graven in our hearts forever dwell the cross, the Crucified.

Authors, composers, editors, etc.

Anonymous

Person Name: Unknown Translator of "Jesus, Refuge of the weary" in Church Book 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.

William Henry Monk

1823 - 1889 Person Name: W.H. Monk 1823—89 Composer of "[Jesus, refuge of the weary]" in The Lutheran Hymnary William H. Monk (b. Brompton, London, England, 1823; d. London, 1889) is best known for his music editing of Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861, 1868; 1875, and 1889 editions). He also adapted music from plainsong and added accompaniments for Introits for Use Throughout the Year, a book issued with that famous hymnal. Beginning in his teenage years, Monk held a number of musical positions. He became choirmaster at King's College in London in 1847 and was organist and choirmaster at St. Matthias, Stoke Newington, from 1852 to 1889, where he was influenced by the Oxford Movement. At St. Matthias, Monk also began daily choral services with the choir leading the congregation in music chosen according to the church year, including psalms chanted to plainsong. He composed over fifty hymn tunes and edited The Scottish Hymnal (1872 edition) and Wordsworth's Hymns for the Holy Year (1862) as well as the periodical Parish Choir (1840-1851). Bert Polman
