Weary With My Load Of Sin

Author: George W. Robinson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8172 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Weary with my load of sin, All diseased and faint within, See me, Lord, Thy grace entreat, See me prostrate at Thy feet: Here before Thy cross I lie, Here I live or here I die. 2 I have tried, and tried in vain Many ways to ease my pain; Now all other hope is past, Only this is left at last: Here before Thy cross I lie, Here I live and here I die. 3 If I perish, be it here With the Friend of sinners near; Lord, it is enough—I know Never sinner perished so. Here before Thy cross I lie, Here I cannot, cannot die. Languages: English Tune Title: GLASTONBURY

John Bacchus Dykes

1823 - 1876 Person Name: John Bacchus Dykes, 1823-1876 Composer of "GLASTONBURY" in The Cyber 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
