Protect and Save, Me, O My God

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #59 (1987) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Protect and save me, O my God Lyrics: 1 Protect and save me, O my God, from those who seek my life; and set me high, secure, above the rising tide of strife. 2 The workers of iniquity against me lie in wait; though I am innocent, O LORD, they gather in their hate. 3 Now see their wickedness, O LORD; come to my help, I plead. LORD God of hosts, O Israel's God, rise, help me in my need. 4 My enemies with deadly rage renew their fierce attack. They think the LORD will not regard, but you will turn them back. 5 O God, my strength, on you I wait; to you for help I flee. My God with mercy will defend his own triumphantly. 6 O Lord our shield, let wickedness and pride be put to shame. Then all will know that you do rule, and all will fear your name. 7 Like dogs that prowl the city streets my foes slink back at night. They would devour my life like food, but God will win the fight. 8 When all the night of woe is past and morning dawns at length, then I will praise you, loving God, my refuge and my strength.

James Walch

1837 - 1901 Composer of "EAGLEY" in The Psalter James Walch was a musician and composer, born near Bolton, Lancashire, England in 1837. He spent his early life in the town and was organist in several churches there, including the parish church of St George’s. From 1870-1877, he was conductor for the Bolton Philharmonic Society. He also composed at least four published hymn tunes, the best known of which is called “Tidings”. Written in 1875, it’s usually used as the tune to a hymn called “O Zion Haste”. James Walch was a musical instrument dealer by trade, and moved to Barrow-in-Furness in 1877. He later moved to Llandudno Junction in North Wales, where he died in August 1901 and was buried locally. His wife later donated money to pay for the organs in two local churches, St Paul's Llandudno and All Saints Deganwy, in his memory. Three decades later, an article in the London Gazette reported on a dispute arising from his will, and mentioned that he had a son, Harry West Walch, who was a pianist and lived in Hereford.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: Charles H. Gabriel, 1856-1932 Composer of "KATHERINE" in Psalter Hymnal (Blue) Pseudonyms: C. D. Emerson, Charlotte G. Homer, S. B. Jackson, A. W. Lawrence, Jennie Ree ============= For the first seventeen years of his life Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (b. Wilton, IA, 1856; d. Los Angeles, CA, 1932) lived on an Iowa farm, where friends and neighbors often gathered to sing. Gabriel accompanied them on the family reed organ he had taught himself to play. At the age of sixteen he began teaching singing in schools (following in his father's footsteps) and soon was acclaimed as a fine teacher and composer. He moved to California in 1887 and served as Sunday school music director at the Grace Methodist Church in San Francisco. After moving to Chicago in 1892, Gabriel edited numerous collections of anthems, cantatas, and a large number of songbooks for the Homer Rodeheaver, Hope, and E. O. Excell publishing companies. He composed hundreds of tunes and texts, at times using pseudonyms such as Charlotte G. Homer. The total number of his compositions is estimated at about seven thousand. Gabriel's gospel songs became widely circulated through the Billy Sunday­-Homer Rodeheaver urban crusades. Bert Polman
