O Thou Who Hast, in Every Age

Author: Edward H. Dewart Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Thou who hast, in every age, Thy trusting people safely led, On us, who in Thy work engage, Thy Spirit’s guiding influence shed. 2. As moon and stars their beams unite, To gild and gladden every zone, So blend Thy Word and works their light, To make Thy grace and glory known. 3. Though Thou art holy, wise, and great, And we are sinful worms of clay, Thou dost regard our low estate, And bend to listen while we pray. 4. On those who sow in youthful minds The seeds of harvests yet to be, Bestow the living faith, which binds The heart in loyal love to Thee. 5. Protect our youth from every foe, And lead in paths of truth and peace; As they in age and knowledge grow, May faith and holiness increase. 6. So to Thy Church, in wisdom taught, May men of nobler life be given; Until, by holy deed and thought, This world is lifted nearer Heaven. Used With Tune: HURSLEY Text Sources: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book (Toronto, Canada: Methodist Book and Publishing House, 1894), number 927.

Samuel Webbe

1740 - 1816 Person Name: S. Webbe Composer of "MELCOMBE" in Methodist Tune Book Samuel Webbe (the elder; b. London, England, 1740; d. London, 1816) Webbe's father died soon after Samuel was born without providing financial security for the family. Thus Webbe received little education and was apprenticed to a cabinet­maker at the age of eleven. However, he was determined to study and taught himself Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French, German, and Italian while working on his apprentice­ship. He also worked as a music copyist and received musical training from Carl Barbant, organist at the Bavarian Embassy. Restricted at this time in England, Roman Catholic worship was freely permitted in the foreign embassies. Because Webbe was Roman Catholic, he became organist at the Portuguese Chapel and later at the Sardinian and Spanish chapels in their respective embassies. He wrote much music for Roman Catholic services and composed hymn tunes, motets, and madrigals. Webbe is considered an outstanding composer of glees and catches, as is evident in his nine published collections of these smaller choral works. He also published A Collection of Sacred Music (c. 1790), A Collection of Masses for Small Choirs (1792), and, with his son Samuel (the younger), Antiphons in Six Books of Anthems (1818). Bert Polman
