O God, no longer hold thy peace

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, no longer hold thy peace, No longer silent be; Thine enemies lift up their head To fight thy saints and thee. Against thine own, whom thou dost love, Their craft thy foes employ; They think to cut thy people off, Thy church they would destroy. 2 Thine ancient foes, conspiring still, With one consent agree, And they who with thy people strive Make war, O God, with thee. O God, who in our fathers' time Didst smite our foes and thine, So smite thine enemies today Who in their pride combine. 3 Make them like dust and stubble blown Before the whirlwind dire, In terror driv'n before the storm Of thy consuming fire. Confound them in their sin till they To thee for pardon fly, Till in dismay they, trembling, own That thou art God Most High. Amen.

Ralph Vaughan Williams

1872 - 1958 Person Name: R. Vaughan Williams Arranger of "FOREST GREEN" in Psalter Hymnal (Blue) 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 arrangeĀ­ments 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).

Anonymous

Author of "O God, No Longer Hold Thy Peace" in The Cyber Hymnal 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.

William Croft

1678 - 1727 Composer of "ST. MATTHEW" in Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) William Croft, Mus. Doc. was born in the year 1677 and received his musical education in the Chapel Royal, under Dr. Blow.

In 1709 he was elected organist of Westminster Abbey. This amiable man and excellent musician died in 1727, in the fiftieth year of his age. A very large number of Dr. Croft's compositions remain still in manuscript. Cathedral chants of the XVI, XVII & XVIII centuries, ed. by Edward F. Rimbault, London: D. Almaine & Co., 1844
