Where High the Heavenly Temple Stands

Author: Michael Bruce Hymnal: The Hymnbook #389 (1955) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Where high the heavenly temple stands, The house of God not made with hands, A great High Priest our nature wears, The Guardian of mankind appears. 2 He who for men their surety stood, And poured on earth His precious blood, Pursues in heaven His mighty plan, The Saviour and the Friend of man. 3 Though now ascended up on high, He bends on earth a brother's eye; Partaker of the human name, He knows the frailty of our frame. 4 Our fellow sufferer yet retains A fellow feeling of our pains; And still remembers in the skies His tears, His agonies, and cries. 5 In every pang that rends the heart The Man of Sorrows had a part; He sympathizes with our grief, And to the sufferer sends relief. 6 With boldness, therefore, at the throne, Let us make all our sorrows known; And ask the aids of heavenly power To help us in the evil hour. Amen. Topics: Christ Sympathy; Prayer; Life in Christ Prayer and Intercession Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 Tune Title: SOLDAU

Where high the heavenly temple stands, The house of God not made with hands, A great high priest our nature wears, The guardian of mankind appears. 2. He who for men their surety stood, And poured on earth His precious blood, Pursues in Heaven His mighty plan, The Savior and the friend of man. 3. Though now ascended up on high, He bends on earth a brother’s eye; Partaker of the human name, He knows the frailty of our frame. 4. Our fellow sufferer yet retains A fellow feeling of our pains: And still remembers in the skies His tears, His agonies, and cries. 5. In every pang that rends the heart, The Man of Sorrows had a part, He sympathizes with our grief, And to the sufferer sends relief. 6. With boldness, therefore, at the throne, Let us make all our sorrows known; And ask the aids of heavenly power To help us in the evil hour. Languages: English Tune Title: SOLDAU

John Bacchus Dykes

1823 - 1876 Person Name: John B. Dykes Composer of "KEBLE" in The Sanctuary Hymnal, published by Order of the General Conference of the United Brethren in Christ 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

Joseph Barnby

1838 - 1896 Person Name: Barnby Composer of "JORDAN" in New Manual of Praise Joseph Barnby (b. York, England, 1838; d. London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873). Bert Polman

George Frideric Handel

1685 - 1759 Person Name: George F. Handel Composer of "SAMSON" in Hymn and Tune Book of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (Round Note Ed.) George Frideric Handel (b. Halle, Germany, 1685; d. London, England, 1759) became a musician and composer despite objections from his father, who wanted him to become a lawyer. Handel studied music with Zachau, organist at the Halle Cathedral, and became an accomplished violinist and keyboard performer. He traveled and studied in Italy for some time and then settled permanently in England in 1713. Although he wrote a large number of instrumental works, he is known mainly for his Italian operas, oratorios (including Messiah, 1741), various anthems for church and royal festivities, and organ concertos, which he interpolated into his oratorio performances. He composed only three hymn tunes, one of which (GOPSAL) still appears in some modern hymnals. A number of hymnal editors, including Lowell Mason, took themes from some of Handel's oratorios and turned them into hymn tunes; ANTIOCH is one example, long associated with “Joy to the World.” Bert Polman
