With Joyfulness and Longing
Author: Frederick Ellis, 1835-1921 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 With joyfulness and longing
We look to Thee, O Lord;
Receive us in Thy mercy,
And cheer us with Thy word.
Crown us with loving kindness
And promises of grace,
And let Thy benediction
Abide within this place.
2 The years have all been crowded
With tokens of Thy love;
And many who here sought Thee
Now worship Thee above.
But we, O Lord, still need Thee
Our pilgrim feet to stay,
For evil often triumphs
As faith to fear gives way.
3 Teach us to know our calling,
And make that calling sure;
Endow us with the courage
Of those whose hearts are pure.
Then by the blood that bought us
And by the grace that sought,
Help us, in loving truly,
To serve Thee as we ought.
4 Lord, make Thy people willing
In Thy great day of power;
Call out recruits, great captains,
And from this happy hour
Lead on to fresh endeavor
A people true and strong,
Till, jubilant in glory,
They swell the Conqueror’s song. Topics: The Church's Life and Work The House of God Used With Tune: LANCASHIRE

Henry Thomas Smart
1813 - 1879 Person Name: Henry Smart, 1813-1879 Composer of "LANCASHIRE" in Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church Henry Smart (b. Marylebone, London, England, 1813; d. Hampstead, London, 1879), a capable composer of church music who wrote some very fine hymn tunes (REGENT SQUARE, 354, is the best-known).
Smart gave up a career in the legal profession for one in music. Although largely self taught, he became proficient in organ playing and composition, and he was a music teacher and critic. Organist in a number of London churches, including St. Luke's, Old Street (1844-1864), and St. Pancras (1864-1869), Smart was famous for his extemporizations and for his accompaniment of congregational singing. He became completely blind at the age of fifty-two, but his remarkable memory enabled him to continue playing the organ. Fascinated by organs as a youth, Smart designed organs for important places such as St. Andrew Hall in Glasgow and the Town Hall in Leeds. He composed an opera, oratorios, part-songs, some instrumental music, and many hymn tunes, as well as a large number of works for organ and choir. He edited the Choralebook (1858), the English Presbyterian Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (1867), and the Scottish Presbyterian Hymnal (1875). Some of his hymn tunes were first published in Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861).
