With joy we hail the sacred day
Author: H. Auber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 260 hymnals Lyrics: 1 With joy we hail the sacred day,
Which God hath called His own;
With joy the summons we obey,
To worship at His throne.
2 Thy chosen temple, Lord, how fair!
As here Thy servants throng
To breathe the humble, fervent prayer,
And pour the grateful song.
3 Spirit of grace, oh, deign to dwell
Within Thy Church below!
Make her in holiness excel,
With pure devotion glow!
4 Let peace within her walls be found;
Let all her sons unite
To spread the holy zeal around
Her clear and shining light.
5 Great God, we hail the sacred day
Which Thou hast called Thine own;
With joy the summons we obey,
To worship at Thy throne!
Amen.

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Person Name: Dykes Composer of "[With joy we hail the sacred day]" in The Standard 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.

Joseph Haydn
1732 - 1809 Person Name: F. J. Haydn Composer of "MANOAH" in The Young People's Hymnal No. 3 Franz Joseph Haydn (b. Rohrau, Austria, 1732; d. Vienna, Austria, 1809) Haydn's life was relatively uneventful, but his artistic legacy was truly astounding. He began his musical career as a choirboy in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, spent some years in that city making a precarious living as a music teacher and composer, and then served as music director for the Esterhazy family from 1761 to 1790. Haydn became a most productive and widely respected composer of symphonies, chamber music, and piano sonatas. In his retirement years he took two extended tours to England, which resulted in his "London" symphonies and (because of G. F. Handel's influence) in oratorios. Haydn's church music includes six great Masses and a few original hymn tunes. Hymnal editors have also arranged hymn tunes from various themes in Haydn's music.

W. H. Havergal
1793 - 1870 Composer of "EVAN" in The Book of Praise for Sunday Schools Havergal, William Henry, M.A, son of William Havergal, was born at High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, 1793, and was educated at St. Edmund's Hall, Oxford (B.A. 1815, M.A. 1819). On taking Holy Orders he became in 1829 Rector of Astley, Worcestershire; in 1842, Rector of St. Nicholas, Worcester; and in 1860, Rector of Shareshill, near Wolverhampton. He was also Hon.
