exalt your Maker's fame,

to sing his praise.

ye glittering stars of light,
to him your homage pay.
His praise declare,
ye heavens above,
and clouds that move
in liquid air.

and all shall last
from changes free;
his firm decree
stands ever fast.

his wondrous fame to raise,
whose glorious name alone
deserves our endless praise;
earth's utmost ends
his power obey;

Ye Boundless Realms of Joy
Ye boundless Realms of Joy
Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #CXLVIII (1760) Lyrics: 1,2 Ye boundless Realms of Joy,
Exalt your Maker's Fame:
His Praise your Song employ
Above the starry Frame;
Your Voices raise,
Ye Cherubim
And Seraphim,
To sing his Praise.
3,4 Thou Moon that rul'st the Night,
And Sun that guid'st the Day,
Ye glitt'ring Stars of Light,
To Him your Homage pay:
His Praise declare,
Ye Heav'ns above,
And Clouds that move
In liquid Air.
5,6 Let them adore the Lord,
And praise his holy Name,
By whose almighty Word
They all from Nothing came:
And all shall last
From Changes free:
His firm Decree
Stands ever fast.
7,8 Let Earth her Tribute pay;
Praise Him ye dreadful Whales,
And Fish that through the Sea
Glide swift with glitt'ring Scales:
Fire, Hail, and Snow,
And misty Air,
And Winds that, where
He bids them, blow.
9.10 By Hills and Mountains (all
In grateful Consort join'd)
By Cedars stately tall,
And Trees for Fruit design'd;
By ev'ry Beast,
And creeping Thing,
And Fowl of Wing,
His Name be blest.
11,12 Let all of royal Birth,
With those of humbler Frame,
And Judges of the Earth,
His matchless Praise proclaim.
In this Design.
Let Youths with Maids,
And hoary Heads
With Children join.
13 United Zeal be shown,
His wond'rous Fame to raise,
Whose glorious Name alone
Deserves our endless Praise,
Earth's utmost Ends
His Pow'r obey:
His glorious Sway
The Sky transcends.
14 His chosen Saints to Grace,
He sets them up on high,
And favour's Isr'el's Race,
Who still to Him are nigh,
O therefore raise
Your grateful Voice,
And still rejoice
The Lord to praise. Scripture: Psalm 148 Languages: English

Nahum Tate
1652 - 1715 Person Name: Nahum Tate (1652-1715) Paraphraser of "Ye Boundless Realms of Joy" in Common Praise (1998) Nahum Tate was born in Dublin and graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1672. He lacked great talent but wrote much for the stage, adapting other men's work, really successful only in a version of King Lear. Although he collaborated with Dryden on several occasions, he was never fully in step with the intellectual life of his times, and spent most of his life in a futile pursuit of popular favor. Nonetheless, he was appointed poet laureate in 1692 and royal historiographer in 1702. He is now known only for the New Version of the Psalms of David, 1696, which he produced in collaboration with Nicholas Brady. Poverty stricken throughout much of his life, he died in the Mint at Southwark, where he had taken refuge from his creditors, on August 12, 1715.

1678 - 1727 Person Name: William Croft (1628-1727) Composer of "CROFT'S 136TH" in Common Praise (1998) William Croft, Mus. Doc. was born in the year 1677 and received his musical education in the Chapel Royal, under Dr. Blow. In 1700 he was admitted a Gentleman Extraordinary of the Chapel Boyd; and in 1707, upon the decease of Jeremiah Clarke, he was appointed joint organist with his mentor, Dr. Blow. In 1709 he was elected organist of Westminster Abbey. This amiable man and excellent musician died in 1727, in the fiftieth year of his age. A very large number of Dr. Croft's compositions remain still in manuscript.

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Person Name: Dykes Composer of "ST. GODRIC" in New Manual of Praise 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.
