Oh send thy light forth
Hymnal: The Book of Praise #29 (1997) First Line: Oh send thy light forth and thy truth Lyrics: 1 Oh send thy light forth and thy truth;
let them be guides to me,
and bring me to thine holy hill,
even where thy dwellings be.
2 Then to God's altar I will go
to God, my chiefest joy:
O God, my God, to praise thy name
my harp I will employ.
3 Why art thou then cast down, my soul?
what should discourage thee?
Any why with vexing thoughts art thou
disquieted in me?
4 Thou art my refuge and my help,
my God that doth me raise.
I hope in God; I will again
have cause to give thee praise. Topics: God Refuge and Strength; Hope; Lament; Light; Metrical Psalms; Praise; Truth Scripture: Psalm 43:2-5 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PAUL

William Barton
1598 - 1678 Person Name: William Barton (1597-1678) Author of "Psalm 43" in Christadelphian Hymn Book Barton, William, born cir. 1603, and for some time Minister of St. Martin's, Leicester, died May 14, 1678. He was the author of one of the earliest collections of hymns, as distinct from Versions of the Psalms, in the English language. He was a friend of Richard Baxter, and it was at Baxter's request that he made four metrical renderings of the Te Deum (q. v.). His Hymns and Versions of the Psalms were numerous and were published as follows:—
(1) The Book of Psalms in Metre, 1644, 2nd ed. 1645, 3rd ed. 1646, 4th ed. 1654. (2) Psalms & Hymns composed for the Public Thanksgiving, Oct. 24, 1651. This consists of versions of Ps. 48, 76, 46 and 135. A copy of this is in the Bodleian. (3) A Century of Select Hymns, known as the Chapter Hymns, 1659, 100 in all. (4) Four Centuries of Select Hymns, an imperfect edition, published, he said, against his will. It contains the 1659 Century, a new Century of Chapter Hymns, and two Centuries of Psalm Hymns, 1668. (5) A new and revised edition of the Chapter Hymns, 1670. (6) A new and revised edition of the Psalm Hymns, 1672. (7) Last revise of the Psalm Hymns, containing the Third Century, 1682. (8) The foregoing Centuries collected, a Third Century of Chapter Hymns added thereto, 20 additional hymns, the Catechism, Book of Canticles, the Catalogue of Virtuous Women (all in metre), were published with an Introduction by his son, Edward Barton, "Minister of Welford, in Northamptonshire," in 1688. This is Barton's work which is known as the Six Centuries of Select Hymns and Spiritual Songs, collected out of the Bible, &c, Lond., 1688. Of these works Nos. 1,2, and 4 differ widely in text from each other; and together with the rest are again altered in the final revision published after his death, 1682, and several times reprinted. The last ed. was published by Robert Robinson of Cambridge in 1768. These versions deserve more attention from compilers than they have hitherto received. It must be noted, however, that the Book of Psalms, and the Psalm Hymns, are distinct works. (9) Barton also printed a 4to volume in 1655, as, A View of Many Errors and some gross Absurdities in the Old Translation of the Psalms in English Metre, as also in some other Translations lately published. This work contains specimens of his own translations and epigrams, and commendatory verses by his friends.

Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Composer of "BARTOW" in Book of Hymns and Tunes, comprising the psalms and hymns for the worship of God, approved by the general assembly of 1866, arranged with appropriate tunes... by authority of the assembly of 1873 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.
