O Son of Man, Our Hero Strong and Tender

Author: Frank Fletcher Hymnal: The Hymnbook #217 (1955) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 O Son of Man, our Hero strong and tender, Whose servants are the brave in all the earth, Our living sacrifice to Thee we render, Who sharest all our sorrows, all our mirth. 2 O feet so strong to climb the path of duty, O lips divine that taught the words of truth, Kind eyes that marked the lilies in their beauty, And heart that kindled at the zeal of youth; 3 Lover of children, boyhood's inspiration, Of all mankind the Servant and the King; O Lord of joy and hope and consolation, To Thee our fears and joys and hopes we bring. 4 Not in our failures only and our sadness We seek Thy presence, Comforter and Friend; O rich man's Guest, be with us in our gladness, O poor man's Mate, our lowliest tasks attend. Amen. Topics: Christ Leader; Christ Presence; Christ Son of Man; Commitment; Jesus Christ His Presence Scripture: Mark 10:45 Tune Title: CHARTERHOUSE

Joseph Barnby

1838 - 1896 Person Name: Joseph Barnby, 1838-1896 Composer of "WINDSOR" in Christian Worship Joseph Barnby (b. York, England, 1838; d. London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barnby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873). Bert Polman
