Praise Waits in Zion, Lord, for Thee

Author: Sir J E Smith Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise waits in Zion, Lord for Thee: Thy saints adore Thy holy name; Thy creatures bend the obedient knee, And humbly now Thy presence claim. 2 Eternal Source of truth and light. To Thee we look, on Thee we call; Lord, we are nothing in Thy sight, But Thou to us art all in all. 3 Still may Thy children in Thy word Their common trust and refuge see; O bind us to each other, Lord, By one great bond, – the love of Thee. 4 Here, at the portal of Thy house, We leave our mortal hopes and fears; Accept our prayers and bless our vows, And dry our penitential tears. 5 So shall our sun of hope arise, With brighter and still brighter ray, Till Thou shalt bless our longing eyes With beams of everlasting day. AMEN. Topics: Adoration and Praise Used With Tune: DUKE STREET

John Warrington Hatton

1710 - 1793 Person Name: John Hatton Composer of "DUKE STREET" in The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal John Warrington Hatton (b. Warrington, England, c. 1710; d, St. Helen's, Lancaster, England, 1793) was christened in Warrington, Lancashire, England. He supposedly lived on Duke Street in Lancashire, from where his famous tune name comes. Very little is known about Hatton, but he was most likely a Presbyterian, and the story goes that he was killed in a stagecoach accident. Bert Polman

Joseph Haydn

1732 - 1809 Person Name: F. J. Haydn Composer of "HURSLEY" in Jewels of Praise Franz Joseph Haydn (b. Rohrau, Austria, 1732; d. Vienna, Austria, 1809) Haydn's life was relatively uneventful, but his artistic legacy was truly astounding. He began his musical career as a choirboy in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, spent some years in that city making a precarious living as a music teacher and composer, and then served as music director for the Esterhazy family from 1761 to 1790. Haydn became a most productive and widely respected composer of symphonies, chamber music, and piano sonatas. In his retirement years he took two extended tours to England, which resulted in his "London" symphonies and (because of G. F. Handel's influence) in oratorios. Haydn's church music includes six great Masses and a few original hymn tunes. Hymnal editors have also arranged hymn tunes from various themes in Haydn's music. Bert Polman

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Praise waits in Zion, Lord, for thee" in Devotional hymns 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.
