O God, my refuge, keep me safe
Author: David G. Preston (b. 1939) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #9 (2005) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) Lyrics: 1 O God, my refuge, keep me safe:
on you my good depends;
O Lord, you are my Lord alone,
your saints my choicest friends.
2 Whoever turns to other gods
will find remorse and shame;
to them I make no sacrifice,
nor will I speak their name.
3 The Lord is my inheritance,
a prize beyond compare;
his word instructs me day and night,
his own belovèd heir.
4 At all times I have set the Lord
before my face to stand;
no trial, no pain can shake my hope
with him at my right hand.
5 My heart and soul rejoice in you
and in your power to save:
you will not leave your Holy One
to perish in the grave.
6 You lead me to the path of life:
before your face I'll stand
and drink my fill of endless joys
that flow at your right hand. Topics: Eternal Life; God Protection of; Word of God Scripture: Psalm 16 Languages: English Tune Title: WETHERBY

1810 - 1876 Person Name: Samuel Sebastian Wesley (1810-1876) Hymnal Title: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) Composer of "WETHERBY" in Church Hymnary (4th ed.) Samuel Sebastian Wesley (b. London, England, 1810; d. Gloucester, England, 1876) was an English organist and composer. The grandson of Charles Wesley, he was born in London, and sang in the choir of the Chapel Royal as a boy. He learned composition and organ from his father, Samuel, completed a doctorate in music at Oxford, and composed for piano, organ, and choir. He was organist at Hereford Cathedral (1832-1835), Exeter Cathedral (1835-1842), Leeds Parish Church (1842-1849), Winchester Cathedral (1849-1865), and Gloucester Cathedral (1865-1876). Wesley strove to improve the standards of church music and the status of church musicians; his observations and plans for reform were published as A Few Words on Cathedral Music and the Music System of the Church (1849). He was the musical editor of Charles Kemble's A Selection of Psalms and Hymns (1864) and of the Wellburn Appendix of Original Hymns and Tunes (1875) but is best known as the compiler of The European Psalmist (1872), in which some 130 of the 733 hymn tunes were written by him.
