O Rock of Ages, one foundation

Author: H. A. Martin Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #91 (1913) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 O Rock of Ages, one foundation, On which the living Church doth rest,-- The Church, whose walls are strong salvation, Whose gates are praise,--Thy name be blest! 2 Son of the living God, O call us Once and again to follow Thee; And give us strength, whate'er befall us, Thy true disciples still to be. 3 When fears appall, and faith is failing, Make Thy voice hard o'er wind and wave, "Why doubt?"--and in Thy love prevailing Put forth Thine hand to help and save. 4 And if our coward hearts deny Thee, In inmost thought, in deed, or word, Let not our hardness still defy Thee, But with a look subdue us, Lord. 5 O strengthen Thou our weak endeavor Thee in Thy sheep to serve and tend, To give ourselves to Thee for ever, And find Thee with us to the end.

Joseph Haydn

1732 - 1809 Person Name: F. J. Haydn Composer of "BOWEN" in Immanuel Hymnal Franz Joseph Haydn (b. Rohrau, Austria, 1732; d. Vienna, Austria, 1809) Haydn's life was relatively uneventful, but his artistic legacy was truly astounding. He began his musical career as a choirboy in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, spent some years in that city making a precarious living as a music teacher and composer, and then served as music director for the Esterhazy family from 1761 to 1790. Haydn became a most productive and widely respected composer of symphonies, chamber music, and piano sonatas. In his retirement years he took two extended tours to England, which resulted in his "London" symphonies and (because of G. F. Handel's influence) in oratorios. Haydn's church music includes six great Masses and a few original hymn tunes. Hymnal editors have also arranged hymn tunes from various themes in Haydn's music. Bert Polman
