Lo! your Leader from the skies Waves before you glory’s prize, The prize of victory. Seize your armor, gird it on; Now the battle will be won; See, the strife will soon be done; Then struggle manfully. 2 Jesus conquered when He fell, Met and vanquished earth and hell; Now He leads you on to swell The triumphs of His cross. Though all earth and hell appear, Who will doubt, or who can fear? God, our strength and shield, is near; We cannot lose our cause. 3 Onward, then, ye hosts of God! Jesus points the victor’s rod; Follow where your Leader trod; You soon shall see His face. Soon, your enemies all slain, Crowns of glory you shall gain, Soon you’ll join that glorious train Who shout their Saviour’s praise. AMEN.

John Bacchus Dykes

1823 - 1876 Person Name: J. B. Dykes Composer of "ST. BEES" in The Book of Praise for Sunday Schools 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
