Come, Let Us Sing unto the Lord

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us sing unto the Lord new songs of praise with sweet accord; for wonders great by him are done, his hand and arm have vict'ry won. 2 The great salvation of our God is seen through all the earth abroad; before the heathen’s wond'ring sight he has revealed his truth and right. 3 He called to mind his truth and grace in promise made to Israel’s race; and unto earth’s remotest bound glad tidings of salvation sound. 4 All lands, to God lift up your voice; sing praise to him, with shouts rejoice; with voice of joy and loud acclaim let all unite and praise his name. 5 Praise God with harp, with harp sing praise, with voice of psalms his glory raise; with trumpets, cornets, gladly sing and shout before the Lord, the King. 6 Let earth be glad, let billows roar and all that dwell from shore to shore; let floods clap hands with one accord, let hills rejoice before the Lord. 7 For lo, he comes; at his command all nations shall in judgment stand; in justice robed and throned in light, the Lord shall judge, dispensing right.

John Warrington Hatton

1710 - 1793 Person Name: John Hatton Composer of "DUKE STREET" in Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) John Warrington Hatton (b. Warrington, England, c. 1710; d, St. Helen's, Lancaster, England, 1793) was christened in Warrington, Lancashire, England. He supposedly lived on Duke Street in Lancashire, from where his famous tune name comes. Very little is known about Hatton, but he was most likely a Presbyterian, and the story goes that he was killed in a stagecoach accident. Bert Polman

Thomas Tallis

1505 - 1585 Person Name: T. Tallis Composer of "[O come let us sing unto the Lord] (Tallis)" in The Church Hymnal Thomas Tallis (b. Leicestershire [?], England, c. 1505; d. Greenwich, Kent, England 1585) was one of the few Tudor musicians who served during the reigns of Henry VIII: Edward VI, Mary, and Elizabeth I and managed to remain in the good favor of both Catholic and Protestant monarchs. He was court organist and composer from 1543 until his death, composing music for Roman Catholic masses and Anglican liturgies (depending on the monarch). With William Byrd, Tallis also enjoyed a long-term monopoly on music printing. Prior to his court connections Tallis had served at Waltham Abbey and Canterbury Cathedral. He composed mostly church music, including Latin motets, English anthems, settings of the liturgy, magnificats, and two sets of lamentations. His most extensive contrapuntal work was the choral composition, "Spem in alium," a work in forty parts for eight five-voice choirs. He also provided nine modal psalm tunes for Matthew Parker's Psalter (c. 1561). Bert Polman

Henry Thomas Smart

1813 - 1879 Person Name: Henry Smart (1813-1879) Composer of "[O come, let us sing unto the Lord]" in The Pilgrim Hymnal 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). Bert Polman
