Charles Coffin

1676 - 1749 Person Name: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749 Topics: Christian year--Advent; Christian year--Advent; Christian year--Baptism of the Lord Author of "On Jordan's Banks the Baptist's Cry" in Moravian Book of Worship Coffin, Charles, born at Buzaney (Ardennes) in 1676, died 1749, was principal of the college at Beauvais, 1712 (succeeding the historian Rollin), and rector of the University of Paris, 1718. He published in 1727 some, of his Latin poems, for which he was already noted, and in 1736 the bulk of his hymns appeared in the Paris Breviary of that year. In the same year he published them as Hymni Sacri Auctore Carolo Coffin, and in 1755 a complete ed. of his Works was issued in 2 vols. To his Hymni Sacri is prefixed an interesting preface. The whole plan of his hymns, and of the Paris Breviary which he so largely influenced, comes out in his words. "In his porro scribendis Hymnis non tam poetico indulgendunv spiritui, quam nitoro et pietate consulendum esse existimavi. Pleraque igitur, argumentis convenientia e purissiinis Scripturae Sacrae fontibus deprompsi quac idoneis Ecclesiae cantui numeris alligarem." His hymns are described by a French critic as having less brilliancy than those of Santüil (q.v.), but more simplicity and unction. They number 100 in the edition of 1736. Translated into English by J. Chandler, I. Williams and others, are noted under their respective Latin first lines. [William T. Brooke] -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

Vernon J. Charlesworth

1838 - 1915 Topics: The Christian Life Consolation; Preservation of Christians Author of "A Shelter in the Time of Storm" in Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) Charlesworth, Vernon J. , was born at Barking, Essex, on April 28, 1839, and educated at Homerton College. In 1864 he became co-pastor with the Rev. Newman Hall at the old Surrey Chapel, and in 1869 the Head Master of Mr. Spurgeon's Stockwell Orphan¬age. Mr. Charlesworth has published The Life of Rowland Hill, &c, 1876, and, in co-operation with Mr. J. Manton Smith, Flowers and Fruits of Sacred Song and Evangelistic Hymns. To this work he contributed:— 1. As you gather round the family board. Plea for Orphans. 2. Blessed Jesus, Lord and Master. Conferences. 3. Come, brethren, let us sing. Praise to God. 4. Come to Jesus, He invites you. Invitation. 5. Heart to heart by love united. Holy Matrimony. 6. How blest in Jesus' name to meet. Praise to Jesus. 7. Our lamps are gone out, and the daylight is past. The Foolish Virgins. 8. Sweetest fellowship we know. Walking in the Light. 9. The day of the Lord is at hand. Advent. 10. There is a land as yet unknown. Heaven. 11. 'Tis a blessed thing while we live to sing. Praise. 12. When far from Thee, and heirs of woe. Grace. 13. Ye servants of Jesus, go forth. Missions. In addition to these hymns, Mr. Charlesworth contributed— 14. I've nothing to bring Thee, Jesus. Lent. to Fullerton & Smith's Evangelical Echoes, 1884, and has printed a considerable number as leaflets. Two of the most recent, "As the eastern hills are glowing" (Morning), and "Lengthening shadows darkly falling" (Evening), should find their way into common use. Mr. Charlesworth's hymns are very spirited and of a popular character. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
