Lo! What a Cloud of Witnesses
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lo! what a cloud of witnesses
Encompass us around!
Men once like us with suffering tried,
But now with glory crowned.
2. Let us, with zeal like theirs inspired,
Strive in the Christian race;
And, freed from every weight of sin,
Their holy footsteps trace.
3. Behold a witness nobler still,
Who trod affliction's path:
Jesus, the author, finisher,
Rewarder of our faith.
4. He, for the joy before Him set,
And moved by pitying love,
Endured the cross, despised the shame,
And now He reigns above.
5. Thither, forgetting things behind,
Press we to God's right hand;
There with the Sviour and His saints
Triumphantly to stand. Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-3 Used With Tune: ST. FLAVIAN Text Sources: Scottish Translations and Paraphrases, 1745, altered

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Lo! what a cloud of witnesses" in The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 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.

Henry J. Gauntlett
1805 - 1876 Person Name: Henry John Gauntlett, 1805-1876 Composer of "ST. FULBERT" in The Hymnal 1982 Henry J. Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, July 9, 1805; d. London, England, February 21, 1876) When he was nine years old, Henry John Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, England, 1805; d. Kensington, London, England, 1876) became organist at his father's church in Olney, Buckinghamshire. At his father's insistence he studied law, practicing it until 1844, after which he chose to devote the rest of his life to music. He was an organist in various churches in the London area and became an important figure in the history of British pipe organs. A designer of organs for William Hill's company, Gauntlett extended the organ pedal range and in 1851 took out a patent on electric action for organs. Felix Mendelssohn chose him to play the organ part at the first performance of Elijah in Birmingham, England, in 1846. Gauntlett is said to have composed some ten thousand hymn tunes, most of which have been forgotten. Also a supporter of the use of plainchant in the church, Gauntlett published the Gregorian Hymnal of Matins and Evensong (1844).
