Thy Kingdom Come! O Father, Hear Our Prayer

Author: Margaret R. Seebach, 1875-1948 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6803 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1. Thy kingdom come! O Father, hear our prayer; Shine through the clouds that darken everywhere; Thou only light, Thou only life and joy, Show us the hope that nothing can destroy. 2. Stumbling and blind, we strive to do Thy will, Trusting the word Thou surely wilt fulfill, That men are Thine, however far they roam, That love shall triumph, and Thy kingdom come. 3. Come, through the faith whereby the Church must live; Come, through the word of truth she has to give; Come, through her teaching, and her healing, too; Come, through the work united hearts can do. 4. Thy kingdom come, and come Thy glorious Son. O may our task for Him be nobly done! Faithful and true let all Thy servants be, Till they shall bring all nations home to Thee.

Samuel Sebastian Wesley

1810 - 1876 Person Name: Samuel Sebastian Wesley, 1810 - 76 Composer of "ELLINGHAM" in Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America Samuel Sebastian Wesley (b. London, England, 1810; d. Gloucester, England, 1876) was an English organist and composer. The grandson of Charles Wesley, he was born in London, and sang in the choir of the Chapel Royal as a boy. He learned composition and organ from his father, Samuel, completed a doctorate in music at Oxford, and composed for piano, organ, and choir. He was organist at Hereford Cathedral (1832-1835), Exeter Cathedral (1835-1842), Leeds Parish Church (1842-1849), Winchester Cathedral (1849-1865), and Gloucester Cathedral (1865-1876). Wesley strove to improve the standards of church music and the status of church musicians; his observations and plans for reform were published as A Few Words on Cathedral Music and the Music System of the Church (1849). He was the musical editor of Charles Kemble's A Selection of Psalms and Hymns (1864) and of the Wellburn Appendix of Original Hymns and Tunes (1875) but is best known as the compiler of The European Psalmist (1872), in which some 130 of the 733 hymn tunes were written by him.
