Safe upon the billowy deep

Author: Henry Coppée Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #309a (1894) Lyrics: 1 Safe upon the billowy deep, Loving Lord, Thy servants keep; Helpless, trusting pilgrims they, Guard them on their watery way. 2 In the morning fill their sails, 'Mid the dark send favoring gales; If their sky be overcast, Calm the waves, and still the blast. 3 Let Thy sunshine guide by day; Send at eve the starry ray; Through the watches of the night, Be Thou, Lord, their shining light. 4 Thus, as hour by hour rolls by Watch them with Thy sleepless eye: Guide with Thine almighty hand Safe unto the haven-land. 5 And at last, life's voyage o'er, Take us to the heavenly shore, Safe in port, to dwell with Thee Where there shall be "no more sea." Amen. Topics: Travellers by Sea or Land Languages: English Tune Title: [Safe upon the billowy deep]

John Bacchus Dykes

1823 - 1876 Person Name: J. B. Dykes Composer of "GLEBE FIELD" in The Church Hymnal As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern. Bert Polman

He promoted chanting and plainsong in the Episcopal Church through workshops and publications such as The American Psalter (1929), the Plainsong Psalter (1932), and the Monastic Diurnal (1932). His writings include program notes for the Denver Symphony Orchestra, various hymn preludes; organ, as well as the book, Church Music in History and Practice (1937). He was editor of both the Hymnal 1916 and its significant successor, Hymnal 1940, of the Episcopal Church.
