Oh, happy, if ye hunger As Jesus hungered then! 3 The cross that Jesus carried He carried as your due: The crown that Jesus weareth He weareth it for you. 4 The faith by which ye see Him, The hope in which ye yearn, The love that through all troubles To Him alone will turn; 5 The trials that beset you, The sorrows ye endure, The manifold temptations That death alone can cure; 6 What are they, but His jewels Of right celestial worth? What are they but the ladder, Set up to heaven on earth? 7 O happy band of pilgrims, Look upward to the skies, Where such a light affliction Shall win so great a prize! Amen.

Henry Thomas Smart

1813 - 1879 Person Name: H. Smart Hymnal Title: Association Hymn Book Composer of "LANCASHIRE" in Association Hymn Book Henry Smart (b. Marylebone, London, England, 1813; d. Hampstead, London, 1879), a capable composer of church music who wrote some very fine hymn tunes (REGENT SQUARE, 354, is the best-known). Smart gave up a career in the legal profession for one in music. Although largely self taught, he became proficient in organ playing and composition, and he was a music teacher and critic. Organist in a number of London churches, including St. Luke's, Old Street (1844-1864), and St. Pancras (1864-1869), Smart was famous for his extemporizations and for his accompaniment of congregational singing. He became completely blind at the age of fifty-two, but his remarkable memory enabled him to continue playing the organ. Fascinated by organs as a youth, Smart designed organs for important places such as St. Andrew Hall in Glasgow and the Town Hall in Leeds. He composed an opera, oratorios, part-songs, some instrumental music, and many hymn tunes, as well as a large number of works for organ and choir. He edited the Choralebook (1858), the English Presbyterian Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (1867), and the Scottish Presbyterian Hymnal (1875). Some of his hymn tunes were first published in Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861). Bert Polman
