Let Christian faith and hope dispel

Author: Anonymous; John Logan, 1748-1788 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let Christian faith and hope dispel the fears of guilt and woe; the Lord Almighty is our friend, and who can prove a foe? 2 The Saviour died, but rose again triumphant from the grave, and pleads our cause at God’s right hand, omnipotent to save. 3 Who then can e’er divide us more from Jesus' saving love, or break the sacred chain that binds the earth to heaven above? 4 Let troubles rise and terrors frown, and days of darkness fall; through Christ all dangers we’ll defy, and more than conquer all. 5 Nor death nor life, nor earth, nor hell, nor time’s destroying sway can e’er erase us from his heart, or make his love decay. 6 Each future period that will bless as it has blessed the past; Christ loved us from the first of time; Christ loves us to the last.

Romans 8:31-39: Let Christian faith and hope dispel

Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #R48 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Let Christian faith and hope dispel Lyrics: Let Christian faith and hope dispel the fears of guilt and woe; The Lord Almighty is our friend, and who can prove a foe? He who his Son, most dear and loved, gave up for us to die. Shall he not all things freely give that goodness can supply? Behold the best, the greatest gift, of everlasting love! Behold the pledge of peace below, and perfect bliss above! Where is the judge who can condemn, since God hath justified? Who shall charge those with guilt or crime for whom the Saviour died? 142 The Saviour died, but rose again triumphant from the grave; And pleads our cause at God’s right hand, omnipotent to save. Who then can e’er divide us more from Jesus and his love, Or break the sacred chain that binds the earth to heav’n above? Let troubles rise, and terrors frown, and days of darkness fall; Through him all dangers we’ll defy, and more than conquer all. Nor death nor life, nor earth nor hell, nor time’s destroying sway, Can e’er efface us from his heart, or make his love decay. Each future period that will bless, as it has bless’d the past; He loved us from the first of time, he loves us to the last. Scripture: Romans 8:31-39 Languages: English

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Let Christian faith and hope dispel" in The Hymnary of the United Church of Canada 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.

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
