Thou Who Didst Stoop Below
Author: Sarah E. Miles Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8483 Meter: 12.10.12.10 First Line: Thou, who didst stoop below to drain the cup of woe Lyrics: 1 Thou, who didst stoop below to drain the cup of woe,
Wearing the form of full mortality,
Thy blessèd labors done, the crown of victory won,
Hath passed from earth, passed to Thy home on high.
2 Our eyes beheld Thee not, yet hast Thou not forgot
Those who have placed their hope, their trust in Thee;
Before Thy Father’s face Thou hast prepared a place,
That where Thou art, there they may also be.
3 It was no path of flowers through this dark world of ours,
Belovèd of the Father, Thou didst tread:
And shall we in dismay shrink from the narrow way,
When clouds and darkness are around it spread?
5 O Thou who art our life, be with us through the strife,
Thy holy head by earth’s fierce storms was bowed;
Raise Thou our eyes above, to see a Father’s love,
Beam, like the bow of promise, through the cloud.
E’en through the awful gloom
Which hovers o’er the tomb,
That light of love our guiding star shall be;
Our spirits will not dread
The shadowy way to tread,
Friend, Guardian, Savior, which doth lead to Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: BENTON

Sarah Elizabeth Miles
1807 - 1877 Person Name: Sarah L. Miles Author of "Thou, Who didst stoop below" in Christian Chorals Miles, Elizabeth, nee Appleton, was born at Boston, U.S.A,, March 28, 1807, and married in 1833 to Solomon P. Miles, Head Master of the Boston High School, and afterwards the Principal of a private school for young ladies in the same city. He died in 1842. On leaving Boston, Mrs. Miles went to reside with her son at Brattleborough, Vermont. Her principal hymns are:—
1. The earth all light and loveliness. Part i. Summer.
2. When on devotion's seraph wing. Part ii., st. v., vii. Foretaste of Heaven. These two parts appeared as one hymn in The Christian Examiner, 1828.
3. Thou Who didst stoop below. Looking unto Jesus. Appeared in The Christian Examiner, 1827. Sometimes it begins with st. ii., "It was no path of flowers," as in the Boston Unitarian Book of Hymns, 1846.
4. Father, direct my ways. Divine Guidance desired in Affliction. In the Boston Book of Hymns, 1846; the Boston Hymns of the Spirit, 1864; and some other collections, it begins with st. ii., "Thou, infinite in love."
Three additional hymns were published for the first time in Putnam's Singers and Songs of the Liberal Faith, 1875. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]

George J. Elvey
1816 - 1893 Person Name: G. J. Elvey Composer of "ELVEY" in The Church Hymnary George Job Elvey (b. Canterbury, England, 1816; d. Windlesham, Surrey, England, 1893) As a young boy, Elvey was a chorister in Canterbury Cathedral. Living and studying with his brother Stephen, he was educated at Oxford and at the Royal Academy of Music. At age nineteen Elvey became organist and master of the boys' choir at St. George Chapel, Windsor, where he remained until his retirement in 1882. He was frequently called upon to provide music for royal ceremonies such as Princess Louise's wedding in 1871 (after which he was knighted). Elvey also composed hymn tunes, anthems, oratorios, and service music.

Anonymous
Composer of "BENTON" in The Cyber Hymnal 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.
