O thou whose feet have climbed life's hill

Author: Rev. Louis F. Benson Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 46 hymnals Hymnal Title: The Hymnal Lyrics: 1 O Thou whose feet have climbed life's hill, And trod the path of youth, Our Saviour and our Brother still, Now lead us into truth. 2 The call is Thine: be Thou the Way, And give us men, to guide; Let wisdom broaden with the day, Let human faith abide. 3 Who learn of Thee the truth shall find, Who follow, gain the goal; With reverence crown the earnest mind, And speak within the soul. 4 Awake the purpose high which strives, And, falling, stands again; Confirm the will of eager lives To quit themselves like men: 5 Thy life the bond of fellowship, Thy love the law that rules, Thy Name, proclaimed by every lip, The Master of our schools. Amen. Topics: Special Seasons and Services Schools and Colleges; Christ Master; Christ Teacher, Our; Colleges and Schools; Education; School and College; Walking with God Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS

Thomas Tallis

1505 - 1585 Hymnal Title: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church Composer of "TALLIS' ORDINAL" in Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church Thomas Tallis (b. Leicestershire [?], England, c. 1505; d. Greenwich, Kent, England 1585) was one of the few Tudor musicians who served during the reigns of Henry VIII: Edward VI, Mary, and Elizabeth I and managed to remain in the good favor of both Catholic and Protestant monarchs. He was court organist and composer from 1543 until his death, composing music for Roman Catholic masses and Anglican liturgies (depending on the monarch). With William Byrd, Tallis also enjoyed a long-term monopoly on music printing. Prior to his court connections Tallis had served at Waltham Abbey and Canterbury Cathedral. He composed mostly church music, including Latin motets, English anthems, settings of the liturgy, magnificats, and two sets of lamentations. His most extensive contrapuntal work was the choral composition, "Spem in alium," a work in forty parts for eight five-voice choirs. He also provided nine modal psalm tunes for Matthew Parker's Psalter (c. 1561). Bert Polman

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
