We Sing a Loving Jesus

Author: Sarah Doudney Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7244 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1. We sing a loving Jesus, Who left His throne above, And came on earth to ransom The children of His love; It is an oft-told story, And yet we love to tell How Christ, the King of glory, Once deigned with man to dwell. 2. We a sing a holy Jesus; No taint of sin defiled The Babe of David’s city, The pure and stainless Child: O teach us, blessèd Savior, Thy heavenly grace to seek; And let our whole behavior Like Thine, be mild and meek. 3. We sing a lowly Jesus; No kingly crown He had, His head was bowed with anguish, His face was marred and sad: In deepest humiliation He came, His work to do; O Lord of our salvation, Let us be humble, too. 4. We sing a mighty Jesus, Whose voice could raise the dead, The sightless eyes He opened, The famished souls He fed; Thou camest to deliver Mankind from sin and shame; Redeemer and life giver, We praise Thy holy name. 5. We sing a coming Jesus; The time is drawing near, When Christ with all His angels In glory shall appear; Lord, save us, we entreat Thee, In this Thy day of grace, That we may gladly meet Thee And see Thee face to face.

We sing a loving Jesus

Hymnal: Voices of Praise #249 (1883) Lyrics: 1 We sing a loving Jesus Who left His throne above, And came to earth to ransom The children of His love; It is an oftold story, And yet we love to tell How Christ, the King of glory, Once deigned with man to dwell. 2 We sing a holy Jesus; No taint of sin defiled The Babe of David's city, The pure and stainless child: O teach us, blessed Saviour, Thy heavenly grace to seek, And let our whole behaviour, Like Thine, be mild and meek. 3 We sing a lowly Jesus, No Kingly crown He has; His heart was bowed with anguish, His face was marred and sad; In deep humiliation He came, His work to do; O Lord of our salvation, Let us be humble too. 4 We sing a mighty Jesus, Whose voice could raise the dead; The sightless eyes He opened, The famished souls He fed. Thou camest to deliver Mankind from sin and shame; Redeemer and life giver, We praise Thy holy Name! 5 We sing a coming Jesus; The time is drawing near, When Christ with all His Angels In glory shall appear; Lord, save us, we entreat Thee, In this Thy day of grace. That we may gladly meet Thee, And see Thee face to face. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: THANET

Samuel Sebastian Wesley

1810 - 1876 Person Name: S. S. Wesley Composer of "AURELIA" in The Congregational Mission Hymnal Samuel Sebastian Wesley (b. London, England, 1810; d. Gloucester, England, 1876) was an English organist and composer. The grandson of Charles Wesley, he was born in London, and sang in the choir of the Chapel Royal as a boy. He learned composition and organ from his father, Samuel, completed a doctorate in music at Oxford, and composed for piano, organ, and choir. He was organist at Hereford Cathedral (1832-1835), Exeter Cathedral (1835-1842), Leeds Parish Church (1842­-1849), Winchester Cathedral (1849-1865), and Gloucester Cathedral (1865-1876). Wesley strove to improve the standards of church music and the status of church musicians; his observations and plans for reform were published as A Few Words on Cathedral Music and the Music System of the Church (1849). He was the musical editor of Charles Kemble's A Selection of Psalms and Hymns (1864) and of the Wellburn Appendix of Original Hymns and Tunes (1875) but is best known as the compiler of The European Psalmist (1872), in which some 130 of the 733 hymn tunes were written by him.

Sarah Doudney

1841 - 1926 Author of "We sing a loving Jesus" in The Congregational Mission Hymnal Doudney, Sarah, daughter of Mr. George E. Doudney, of Cosham, Hants, was born near Portsmouth, but removed into a remote village in Hampshire at an early age. Her first efforts in literature were made when she was quite young, her poem, "The Lessons of the Water-Mill," a popular song, especially in America, having been written when she was only fifteen. Known mainly to the reading public through her stories, A Woman's Glory, Stepping Stones, and others, and through her contributions to the Sunday Magazine, Good Words, and other serials, her works, including fiction, and sacred and secular poems, have been widely read and appreciated. Her sacred poems are the least numerous of her writings. Some of these, as, "The Master hath come, and He calls us to follow," and "Saviour, now the day is ending," for use at the close of Evening Service, and of more than usual merit, create the desire for more of a like kind. Greater use, however, may be made of what she has written than has been done. By being buried in magazine literature, her hymns are somewhat difficult to trace. Her Psalms of Life was published by Houlston in 1871. In the Sunday School Union Songs of Gladness, 1871, the following were given;— 1. He hath gone into His garden. The Vineyard of the Lord. 2. In Thy holy garden ground. The Vineyard of the Lord. 3. Land of peace, and love, and brightness. Heaven. 4. Saviour, now the day is ending. Sunday Evening. 5. The Master hath come, and He calls us to follow. Jesus and Mary of Bethany. 6. We praise our Lord to-day. Sunday. 7. We sing a loving Jesus. Praise of Jesus. Of these, Nos. 1, 2, 3, are in her Psalms of Life, 1871, and all have passed from the Songs of Gladness into other collections. Her:— 8. Room for the wanderer, room. Christ's Invitation. is in W. B. Stevenson's School Hymnal, 1880. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ================== Doudney, Sarah, p. 307, i. Other hymns in common use:— 1. For all Thy care we bless Thee. Morning. 2. Lord of the golden harvest. Harvest. 3. Now the solemn shadows darken. Evening. Nos. 1, 2, are from Miss Doudney's Psalms of Life, 1871, and No. 3 is in Mrs. Brock's Children's Hymn Book, 1881. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)

Anonymous

Composer of "THANET" in Sunday-School Book 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.
