Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war

Author: S. Baring-Gould, 1834 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #381 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, Looking unto Jesus, who is gone before! Christ, the Royal Master, leads against the foe; Forward into battle see His banners go. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, which is gone before! 2 Like a mighty army, moves the Church of God; Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod; We are not divided, all one body we, One in hope and doctrine, one in charity. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, which is gone before! 3 Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane, But the Church of Jesus constant will remain; Gates of hell can never gainst that Church prevail; We have Christ's own promise, which can never fail. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, which is gone before! 4 Onward, then, ye people, join our happy throng; Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song. Glory, laud, and honour, men and angels sing, Through the countless ages, unto Christ the King. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, which is gone before!

John Goss

1800 - 1880 Person Name: Goss Arranger of "ARMAGEDDON" in Redemption Songs John Goss (b. Fareham, Hampshire, England, 1800; d. London, England, 1880). As a boy Goss was a chorister at the Chapel Royal and later sang in the opera chorus of the Covent Garden Theater. He was a professor of music at the Royal Academy of Music (1827-1874) and organist of St. Paul Cathedral, London (1838-1872); in both positions he exerted significant influence on the reform of British cathedral music. Goss published Parochial Psalmody (1826) and Chants, Ancient and Modern (1841); he edited William Mercer's Church Psalter and Hymn Book (1854). With James Turle he published a two-volume collection of anthems and Anglican service music (1854). Bert Polman

John Bacchus Dykes

1823 - 1876 Person Name: Dr. Dykes Arranger of "ST. ALBAN" in The Church Porch 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. Bert Polman

Gustav Holst

1874 - 1934 Arranger of "PRINCE RUPERT" in Songs of Praise Gustav Holst (b. Chelteham, Gloucestershire, England, September 21, 1874, d. London, England, May 25, 1934) was a renowned British composer and musician. Having studied at Cheltenham Grammar School, he soon obtained a professional position as an organist, and later as choirmaster. In 1892, Holst composed a two-act operetta, which so impressed his father that he borrowed the money to send Holst to the Royal College of Music. Severe neuritis in his right hand later caused him to give up the keyboard, and Holst turned to the trombone and composing. In 1895 Holst met Ralph Vaughan Williams, and the two became lifelong friends. Vaughan Williams helped Holst land his first job as a singing teacher. Holst became very interested in Indian and Hindu culture, and composed a number of operas translated from Sanksrit myths. These were not received well in England, however. Holst is best known for his composition, The Planets, as well as
