O God, whose mighty wisdom moves

Author: G. Brandon Hymnal: Churches of Christ Hymn Book #4 (1974) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O God, whose mighty wisdom moves The minds of men to seek Thy way, By Thee the fathers sought the law; Lord, keep us in that quest today, That in Thy light we yet may see The path that leads through truth to Thee. 2 O God, whose perfect holiness Inspires our search to find Thy will, By Thee the prophets spoke of old; Lord, let us hear them speaking still, That in Thy light we yet may see The path that leads through right to Thee 3 O God, whose tender, yearning heart Gave us a Son, the living Word, By Thee men sent the Good News forth; Lord, let this gospel now be head, That in Thy light we yet may see The path that leads through love to Thee 4 O God, whose surging Spirit stirs Within the souls of all on earth, By Thee the Scriptures bring new life, And hopes forgotten find rebirth; Lord, grant us in Thy light to see The path that leads through all to Thee.

John Bacchus Dykes

1823 - 1876 Person Name: John B. Dykes Composer of "MELITA" in Ten New Hymns on the Bible As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern. Bert Polman
