No Weight of Gold or Silver

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #374 (1987) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 No weight of gold or silver can measure human worth; no soul secures its ransom with all the wealth of earth; no sinners find their freedom but by the gift unpriced: the Lamb of God unblemished, the precious blood of Christ. 2 Our sins, our griefs and troubles, he bore and made his own; we hid our faces from him, rejected and alone. His wounds are for our healing, our peace is by his pain. Behold, the Man of Sorrows, the Lamb for sinners slain! 3 In Christ the past is over; a new world now begins. With him we rise to freedom who saves us from our sins. We live by faith in Jesus to make his glory known. Behold, the Man of Sorrows, the Lamb upon his throne!

Ralph Vaughan Williams

1872 - 1958 Person Name: Ralph Vaughan Williams, 1872-1958 Arranger of "KING'S LYNN" in Together in Song 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).
