How Shall They Hear?

Author: Michael Perry Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #740 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 First Line: How shall they hear the word of God Lyrics: 1 How shall they hear the word of God unless the truth is told? How shall the sinful be set free, the sorrowful consoled? To all who speak the truth today, impart your Spirit, Lord, we pray. 2 How shall they call to God for help unless they have believed? How shall the poor be given hope, the prisoner reprieved? To those who help the blind to see, give light and love and clarity. 3 How shall the gospel be proclaimed that sinners may repent? How shall the world find peace at last if heralds are not sent? So send us, Lord, for we rejoice to speak of Christ with life and voice. Topics: Dedications of Life; Missions; Proclamation Scripture: Matthew 9:38 Languages: English Tune Title: AUCH JETZT MACHT GOTT

Michael Perry

1942 - 1996 Person Name: Michael A. Perry Author of "How Shall They Hear the Word of God" in Psalter Hymnal (Gray) Initially studying mathematics and physics at Dulwich College, Michael A. Perry (b. Beckenham, Kent, England, 1942; d. England, 1996) was headed for a career in the sciences. However, after one year of study in physics at the University of London, he transferred to Oak Hill College to study theology. He also studied at Ridley Hall, Cambridge, and received a M.Phil. from the University of Southhampton in 1973. Ordained a priest in the Church of England in 1966, Perry served the parish of St. Helen's in Liverpool as a youth worker and evangelist. From 1972 to 1981 he was the vicar of Bitterne in Southhampton and from 1981 to 1989, rector of Eversley in Hampshire and chaplain at the Police Staff College. He then became vicar of Tonbridge in Kent, where he remained until his death from a brain tumor in 1996. Perry published widely in the areas of Bible study and worship. He edited Jubilate publications such as Hymns far Today's Church (1982), Carols far Today (1986), Come Rejoice! (1989), and Psalms for Today (1990). Composer of the musical drama Coming Home (1987), he also wrote more than two hundred hymns and Bible versifications. Bert Polman
