When Lying on the Bed of Pain

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 When lying on the bed of pain, And earth and all its joys are vain, How sweet, my God to know Thy pow'r Sustains me in this trying hour. 2 I would Thy holy Word obey E'en while upon my bed I lie; I call the elders here, O Lord, To do according to Thy Word. 3 And while the oil's by faith applied, o may my soul be sanctified By the blest unction from above, And then be filled with heav'nly love. 4 Then shall my cheerful, grateful tongue In rap'trous strains Thy praise prolong. My ransom'd soul adore Thy grace And swifter run the heav'nly race. 5 Or should my days be near their end, and I through death my steps must wend, Then, O my Lord, receive me home, To mingle with the blood washed throng.

Ludwig van Beethoven

1770 - 1827 Person Name: Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770-1827 Composer of "GERMANY" in The Christian Hymnary A giant in the history of music, Ludwig van Beethoven (b. Bonn, Germany, 1770; d. Vienna, Austria, 1827) progressed from early musical promise to worldwide, lasting fame. By the age of fourteen he was an accomplished viola and organ player, but he became famous primarily because of his compositions, including nine symphonies, eleven overtures, thirty piano sonatas, sixteen string quartets, the Mass in C, and the Missa Solemnis. He wrote no music for congregational use, but various arrangers adapted some of his musical themes as hymn tunes; the most famous of these is ODE TO JOY from the Ninth Symphony. Although it would appear that the great calamity of Beethoven's life was his loss of hearing, which turned to total deafness during the last decade of his life, he composed his greatest works during this period.
