The Man That Doth In Secret Place
Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12561 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The man that doth in secret place
Of God Most High reside,
Beneath the shade of Him that is
Th’Almighty shall abide.
[Alternate first stanza:
1 The man who in the secret place
Of God Most High resides,
Beneath the shade of Him that is
Th’Almighty Lord, abides.]
2 I of the Lord, my God, will say,
He is my refuge still;
He is my fortress, and my God;
And trust in Him I will.
3 Assuredly He shall thee save,
And give deliverance
From cunning fowler’s snare, and from
The deadly pestilence.
4 His feathers shall thee hide; thy trust
Beneath His wings shall be;
His faithfulness shall be a shield
And buckler unto thee.
5 Thou shalt not need to be afraid
For terrors of the night,
Nor for the arrow that doth fly
By day, while it is light;
6 Nor for the pestilence, that walks
In darkness secretly;
Nor for destruction, that doth waste
At noon-day openly. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AGNES

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Person Name: Rev. John Bacchus Dykes Composer of "ST. AGNES" in African Methodist Episcopal hymn and tune book 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.
