Author: Woodbury M. Fernald Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13351 Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: O God of glory! when with eye uplifted Lyrics: 1 O God of glory! when with eye uplifted,
Eye of the soul in visioned wonder clear;
And when by Thine eternal Spirit gifted,
What deep revealings
To the soul appear!
2 Nature recedes; and in th’expanse eternal,
Spreading and opening to my raptured sight,
I see the hosts of God, the heights supernal,
The Church triumphant
Crowned in Heav’n’s own light,
3 Ah! there are they who, once among the lowly,
Erst trod the paths of patient virtue here;
And there are they who, in Thy presence holy,
Trembled for sin,
But knew no other fear.
4 Prophets, reformers—they, who God revering,
Battled with hoary wrong and ancient might;
Behold them now in triumph reappearing
On all the hills of
God, in glory bright!
5 In deepening vision, flames a light before them:
See a long train of martyrs rise to view;
And lo! a central figure bending o’er them,
The dear Redeemer
Crowning them anew. Languages: English Tune Title: COMFORT
O God Of Glory!

Composer of "COMFORT" 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.

Woodbury M. Fernald
1813 - 1873 Author of "O God Of Glory!" in The Cyber Hymnal Fernald, Woodbury Melcher. (Portsmouth, New Hampshire, March 21, 1873--December 10, 1873, Boston, Massachusetts). He entered the Universalist ministry in 1835 and served churches of that denomination in Newburyport and Chicopee, Massachusetts, and elsewhere, for a few years. He then became a Unitarian, without entering the ministry of that denomination, and eventually joined the Swedenborgian Church of the New Jerusalem in Boston. He did some traveling on behalf of this body, as far west as Wisconsin, in intervals of employment at the Custom House and, later, at the Post Office in Boston. He was author of books and essays, most of them expositions of Swedenborgian doctrine, and of a small amount of occasional verse, published in the periodicals of the day but never collected in a printed volume. In his private collection of his poems are a few hymns, only two of which appear to have had any public use. One beginning "Great Source of being, truth, and love" was written for the ordination of Rev. Thomas C. Adam as pastor of the West Universalist Society in Boston, March 12, 1845. The other, "When Israel, humbled of the Lord," a protest against slavery published in the Boston Journal, in July, 1861, was included, in part and considerably re-written, in The Soldier's Companion: Dedicated to the Defenders of their Country in the field, by their Friends at Home. This was published as the Army Number of the Monthly Journal, Boston, October, 1861, vol. II, No. 10, a small Unitarian collection of hymns and devotional readings. In this collection the hymn begins "When Israel's foes, a numerous host" and is attributed to "Rev. W. M. Fernald," though it is not included in this form in the author's private collection of his verse. None of his hymns appear to have had any further use.
