Ye Humble Souls, Approach Your God
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7794 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Ye humble souls, approach your God
With songs of sacred praise,
For He is good, immensely good,
And kind are all His ways.
2. All nature owns His guardian care,
In Him we live and move;
But nobler benefits declare
The wonders of His love.

To ransom rebel worms;
’Tis here He makes His goodness known
In its diviner forms.

’Tis here our hope relies;
A safe defense, a peaceful home,
When storms of trouble rise.

The souls who trust in Thee;
Their humble hope Thou wilt reward,
With bliss divinely free. Languages: English Tune Title: ARLINGTON

Hugh Wilson
1766 - 1824 Composer of "AVON" in Gospel Hymn and Tune Book Hugh Wilson (b. Fenwick, Ayrshire, Scotland, c. 1766; d. Duntocher, Scotland, 1824) learned the shoemaker trade from his father. He also studied music and mathematics and became proficient enough in various subjects to become a part-time teacher to the villagers. Around 1800, he moved to Pollokshaws to work in the cotton mills and later moved to Duntocher, where he became a draftsman in the local mill. He also made sundials and composed hymn tunes as a hobby. Wilson was a member of the Secession Church, which had separated from the Church of Scotland. He served as a manager and precentor in the church in Duntocher and helped found its first Sunday school. It is thought that he composed and adapted a number of psalm tunes, but only two have survived because he gave instructions shortly before his death that all his music manuscripts were to be destroyed.

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Person Name: John B. Dykes Composer of "ELVET" in Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes 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.
