Not Alone, but Two by Two

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Not alone, but two by two, Jesus sent disciples out: Yoked to share their growing faith, Spurred by courage, slowed by doubt. Taking but a walking stick, Moneyless and sandal-shod, Forth they went to preach and heal, Trusting all their needs to God. 2 Have we still such daring hearts? Can we claim their faith and nerve? Do we truly love the world Jesus calls for us to serve? Can we plant again the seed Sown in mutual ministry, Patterned on a life of faith Rooted in community? 3 Holy Spirit, breathe through us With your unifying might; Kindle cleansing, melting flames Till our fractured wills unite. Bind our hearts in mutual love, Paradox that sets self free; Let our common witness show God's shared life in Trinity.

Joseph Parry

1841 - 1903 Person Name: Joseph Parry, 1841-1903 Composer of "ABERYSTWYTH" in Worship (4th ed.) Joseph Parry (b. Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorganshire, Wales, 1841; d. Penarth, Glamorganshire, 1903) was born into a poor but musical family. Although he showed musical gifts at an early age, he was sent to work in the puddling furnaces of a steel mill at the age of nine. His family immigrated to a Welsh settlement in Danville, Pennsylvania in 1854, where Parry later started a music school. He traveled in the United States and in Wales, performing, studying, and composing music, and he won several Eisteddfodau (singing competition) prizes. Parry studied at the Royal Academy of Music and at Cambridge, where part of his tuition was paid by interested community people who were eager to encourage his talent. From 1873 to 1879 he was professor of music at the Welsh University College in Aberystwyth. After establishing private schools of music in Aberystwyth and in Swan sea, he was lecturer and professor of music at the University College of South Wales in Cardiff (1888-1903). Parry composed oratorios, cantatas, an opera, orchestral and chamber music, as well as some four hundred hymn tunes. Bert Polman
