O Thou Not Made with Hands

Author: F.T. Palgrave Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #403 (1985) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 O thou not made with hands, not throned above the skies, nor walled with shining walls, nor framed with stones of price, more bright than gold or gem, God's own Jerusalem! 2 Where'er the gentle heart finds courage from above; where'er the heart forsook warms with the breath of love, where faith bids fear depart, City of God, thou art. 3 Thou art where'er the proud in humbleness melts down, where self itself yields up, where martyrs win their crown, where faithful souls possess themselves in perfect peace. 4 Where in life's common ways with cheerful feet we go, when in his steps we tread who trod the way of woe, where he is in the heart, City of God, thou art. 5 Not throned above the skies, nor golden-walled afar, but where Christ's two or three in his name gathered are, be in the midst of them, God's own Jerusalem!

Author: Francis T. Palgrave Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5397 Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1. O thou not made with hands, Not throned above the skies, Nor walled with shining walls, Nor framed with stones of price, More bright than gold or gem, God’s own Jerusalem. 2. Where’er the gentle heart Finds courage from above; Where’er the heart forsook Warms with the breath of love; Where faith bids fear depart, City of God, thou art. 3. Thou art where’er the proud In humbleness melts down; Where self itself yields up; Where martyrs win their crown; Where faithful souls possess Themselves in perfect peace. 4. Where in life’s common ways With cheerful feet we go; Where in His steps we tread, Who trod the way of woe; Where He is in the heart, City of God, thou art. 5. Not throned above the skies, Nor golden-walled afar, But where Christ’s two or three In His name gathered are, Be in the midst of them, God’s own Jerusalem. Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 120TH

Joseph Barnby

1838 - 1896 Composer of "LAUDES DOMINI" in The Hymnal 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

Frederick C. Maker

1844 - 1927 Person Name: Frederick C. Maker (1844- ) Composer of "ST. GERMANS" in The Hymnal of Praise Frederick C. Maker (b. Bristol, England, August 6, 1844; d. January 1, 1927) received his early musical training as a chorister at Bristol Cathedral, England. He pursued a career as organist and choirmaster—most of it spent in Methodist and Congregational churches in Bristol. His longest tenure was at Redland Park Congregational Church, where he was organist from 1882-1910. Maker also conducted the Bristol Free Church Choir Association and was a long-time visiting professor of music at Clifton College. He wrote hymn tunes, anthems, and a cantata, Moses in the Bulrushes.

John Bacchus Dykes

1823 - 1876 Composer of "QUID RETRIBUAM" in Hymns of the Living Church 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
