FIRME NA ROCHA

Author: Priscilla Jane Owens (1829-1907); Stuart Edmund Mc Nair (1867-1959) Hymnal: Hinos e Cânticos #59 (1999) First Line: Que alicerce tens para construir Refrain First Line: Nossa morada na Rocha está Lyrics: 1 Que alicerce tens para construir Uma casa que possa resistir A essa tempestade que assoprará E a mal fundada casa abaterá? Refrain: Nossa morada na Rocha está; Firme e segura sempre ficará. Quando o temporal sobre ela der Há de resistir bem ao seu poder. 2 Como a areia é sempre alicerce vão, São também as obras na salvação; Pois jamais irá salvação obter, Quem não queira em Cristo, tão somente, crer. 3 Os cristãos, porém, que deveras creem, Pelas obras mostram a fé que têm. Praticando o bem provam todo o amor Que por Cristo sentem como Salvador. Languages: Portuguese Tune Title: WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD

For 50 years Miss Owen has interested herself in Sunday-school work, and most of her hymns were written for children's services. Her hymn in the Scotch Church Hymnary, 1898, "We have heard a joyful sound" (Missions), was written for a Sunday-school Mission Anniversary, and the words were adapted to the chorus "Vive le Roi" in the opera The Huguenots. [Rev. James Bonar, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix II (1907) ========================= Owens, Priscilla Jane. (July 21, 1829--December 5, 1907). Of Scottish and Welsh ancestry, she spent her entire life in Baltimore. She was a public school teacher there for 49 years. She was a member of the Union Square Methodist Church and took particular interest in its Sunday School. Her literary efforts, both in prose and poetry, appeared in such religious periodicals as the Methodist Protestant and the Christian Standard. --William J. Reynolds, DNAH Archives

Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878.

S. E. McNair

1867 - 1959 Person Name: Stuart Edmund McNair (1867-1959) Port. of "Nossa Morada na Rocha Está" in Hinário para o Culto Cristão Stuart Edmund McNair was born on March 8, 1867, in Brighton, England, and grew up in Croydon. He was the son of Lindsay William McNair and Harriet Agnes Turrell. He graduated in civil engineering, mechanical drawing, and theology. At 14, he had a significant experience with theologian John Nelson Darby, which influenced his spiritual journey. In 1891, McNair moved to Lisbon, where he worked for five years. In 1896, at 29 years old, he arrived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to do missionary work. Over the years, he evangelized in several Brazilian cities and traveled to Argentina, Spain, and Portugal, including a three-year stay in Coimbra, where he evangelized university students. In addition to his evangelism, McNair made a significant contribution to music. He wrote or translated many hymns, many of which are still included in hymnals used by churches today. Among the hymns he wrote or translated, 157 appear in the hymnal Hinos e Cânticos. After the death of its founder, Richard Holden, McNair became responsible for editing and revising the hymnal, as well as for translating and authoring additional hymns for its continued use. In 1913, he settled in Conceição de Carangola, MG, where he developed Bible schools and trained new Christian leaders. McNair traveled throughout Brazil, and in 1933, he founded the Casa Editora Evangélica in Teresópolis, RJ, focusing on publishing theological materials and Christian education. He was also responsible for publishing the first edition of Hinos e Cânticos com Música in 1939, an important work that solidified his musical contribution to the Brazilian church. Stuart McNair passed away on January 10, 1959, at the age of 92, after more than 50 years of dedication to evangelism, Bible teaching, and Christian music. His legacy lives on through his writings, translations, musical compositions, and contributions to the Christian movement, especially in Brazil.
