O God, Our Strength, to Thee Our Song
Author: Harriet Auber, 1773-1862 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 52 hymnals Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. O God, our strength, to Thee our song
With grateful hearts we raise;
To Thee, and Thee alone, belong
All worship, love and praise.
2. In trouble’s dark and stormy hour
Thine ear hath heard our prayer;
And graciously Thine arm of power
Hath saved us from despair.
3. And Thou, O ever gracious Lord,
Wilt keep Thy promise still,
If, meekly hearkening to Thy Word,
We seek to do Thy will.
4. Led by the light Thy grace imparts,
Ne’er may we bow the knee
To idols, which our wayward hearts
Set up instead of Thee.
5. So shall Thy choicest gifts, O Lord,
Thy faithful people bless;
For them shall earth its stores afford,
And Heav’n its happiness. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON

Person Name: Anon. Hymnal Title: Hymn Book of the Methodist Protestant Church Author of "O God, our strength, to thee our song" in Hymn Book of the Methodist Protestant Church In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Harriet Auber
1773 - 1862 Person Name: Harriet Auber, 1773-1862 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Author of "O God, Our Strength, to Thee Our Song" in The Cyber Hymnal Auber, Harriet, daughter of Mr. James Auber, b. in London, Oct. 4, 1773. During the greater part of her quiet and secluded life she resided at Broxbourne and Hoddesdon, Herts, and died at the latter place on the 20th Jan., 1862. Miss Auber wrote devotional and other poetry, but only a portion of the former was published in her Spirit of the Psalms, in 1829. This collection is mainly her work, and from it some useful versions of the Psalms have been taken and included in modern hymn-books, about 20 appearing in Spurgeon's Our Own Hymn Book, 1866. Miss Auber's name is widely known, but it is principally through her exquisite lyric, "Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed," and the Epiphany hymn, "Bright was the guiding star that led." (For criticism of her work, see English Psalters, §. 17.)
In addition to these and other hymns by Miss Auber, which are annotated under their respective first lines, the following are also in C. V., but principally in America:—
1. Arise, ye people, and adore. Easter.
2. As Thy chosen people, Lord. Ps. lxciii.
3. Can guilty man indeed believe? Ps. xciv.
4. Delightful is the task to sing. Ps. cxlvii.
5. Father of Spirits, Nature's God. Ps. cxxxi.
6. Hail, gracious Source of every good. Ps. Ixv.
7. Hasten, Lord, the glorious time. Ps. lxxii.
8. Jehovah reigns, O earth, rejoice. Ps. xccii.
9. Join, all ye servants of the Lord. H. Scriptures.

15. Sweet is the work, O Lord. Sunday.
16. That Thou, O Lord, art ever nigh. Ps. lxxv.
17. The Lord, Who hath redeemed our souls. Ps. xxxi.
18. When all bespeaks a Father's love. Ps. set.
19. When dangers press and fears invade. Ps. lxii.
20. Who, O Lord, when life is o'er. Ps. xv.
21. Whom have we Lord, in heaven, but Thee. Ps. lxxiii.
22. Wide, ye heavenly gates, unfold. Ascension.
23. With hearts in love abounding. Ps. xlv.
24. With joy we hail the sacred day. Sunday.
25. Vainly through the night the ranger. Ps. cxvii.
All these psalm-versions and hymns are from her Spirit of the Psalms, London, 1829.
