Author: Adelaide M. Plumptre, 1872- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #369 (1917) Lyrics:
1 Keep thyself pure! Christ's soldier, hear,
Through life's loud strife the call rings clear.
Thy Captain speaks: His word obey;
So shall thy strength be as thy day.
2 Keep thyself pure! When lusts assail,
When flesh is strong and spirit frail,
Fight on a fadeless crown thy meed
Thy body as thy captive lead.
3 Keep thyself pure! Thrice blessed he
Whose heart from taint of sin is free.
His feet shall stand where saints have trod;
He with rapt eyes shall see his God.
4 Keep thyself pure! For He who died,
Himself for thy sake sanctified.
Then hear Him, speaking from the skies,
And victor o'er temptation rise.
5 O Holy Spirit, keep us pure,
Grant us Thy strength when sins allure;
Our bodies are Thy temple, Lord;
Be Thou in thought and act adored. Topics: Purity Personal; Purity Personal; The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service; Temperance Languages: English Tune Title: KEBLE

Adelaide M. Plumptre
1871 - 1948 Person Name: A. M. Plumptre Author of "Keep thyself pure! Christ's soldier, hear" in The Church Hymnal Plumptre, Adelaide Mary (Wynne Willson). (Hanborough, England, January 22, 1871--September 1948, Toronto, Ontario). Anglican. Studied, then taught, at Somerville College, Oxford, before marrying (1901) Henry Pemberton Plumptre and coming to Canada, where he became chaplain of Wycliffe College, Toronto (1901-1903) and curate of St. George's, Montreal (1903-1908) before returning briefly to England. In 1909 he came back to Toronto as rector of St. James' Cathedral, succeeding Edward Ashurst Welch; after his retirement in 1935, the couple lived on in Toronto, where Adelaide Plumptre published a pamphlet of hymns just before her death. "Keep thyself pure!", which the Book of Common Praise (1908 and 1938) included, dates from 1907, when the temperance movement in Canada was reaching its height.

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Person Name: Dr. J. B. Dykes, 1823-1876 Composer of "KEBLE" in Methodist Hymn and Tune Book 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.
