Make Music to the LORD Most High
Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Make music to the LORD Most High,
whose praise is our delight:
we sing your love as day begins,
your faithfulness by night.
LORD, when we see all you have done,
our songs of joy resound:
your handiwork, how vast it is,
your counsels, how profound!
2 The godless mind will never know,
because its sense is void,
that though the wicked spread like grass,
they all shall be destroyed.
Forever, LORD, you are supreme,
your throne remains on high,
while rebels meet eternal doom
and evildoers die.
3 But like the cedar and the palm,
the righteous stand serene;
they flourish in the house of God,
their leaves are fresh and green.
To fruitful age they still proclaim
the LORD who makes them new—
our God, in whom no wrong is found,
my rock, forever true. Topics: Comfort; Fruits of Faith; God as Judge; Gratitude; Joy; Old Age; Sabbath; Sanctification; Ten Commandments 3rd Commandment (Remember the Sabbath); Worship Scripture: Psalm 92 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Christopher M. Idle
b. 1938 Person Name: Christopher Idle Author of "Make Music to the LORD Most High" in Christian Worship Christopher Martin Idle (b. Bromley, Kent, England, 1938) was educated at Elthan College, St. Peter's College, Oxford, and Clifton Theological College in Bristol, and was ordained in the Church of England. He served churches in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria; London; and Oakley, Suffolk; and recently returned to London, where he is involved in various hymnal projects. A prolific author of articles on the Christian's public responsibilities, Idle has also published The Lion Book of Favorite Hymns (1980) and at least one hundred of his own hymns and biblical paraphrases. Some of his texts first appeared in hymnals published by the Jubilate Group, with which he is associated. He was also editor of Anglican Praise (1987). In 1998 Hope Publishing released Light Upon the River, a collection of 279 of his psalm and hymn texts, along with suggested tunes, scripture references, and commentary.

Ralph Vaughan Williams
1872 - 1958 Adapter of "KINGSFOLD" in Christian Worship 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 arrangements 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).
