Phisician, or; the Miracles of Christ
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXXXIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Miracles of Christ applied First Line: Jesus, since thou art still to-day Lyrics: 1 Jesus, since thou art still to-day
As yesterday the same;
Present to heal, in me display
The virtue of thy name.
2 Since still thou go'st about to do
The needy creatures good;
On me, that I thy praise my shew,
Be all thy wonders shew'd.
Leper.
3 Now, Lord, to whom for help I call,
Thy Miracles repeat;
With pitying eye behold me fall,
A leper at thy feet.
4 Loathsome, and vile, and self-abhor;d,
I sink beneath my sin;
But if thou wilt, a grcious word
Of thine can make me clean.
Deaf and Dumb.
5 Thou seest me deaf to thy commands,
Open, O Lord! mine ear;
Bid me stretch out my withered hands,
And lift them up in prayer.
6 Silent, (alas! thou know'st how long0
My voice I cannot raise;
But O! when thou shalt loose my tongue,
The dumb shall sing thy Praise.
Lame.
7 Lame at the pool I still am seen,
Waiting to find relief;
While many others venture in,
And wash away their grief.
8 Now speak my mind, my conscience sound,
Give, and my strength employ;
Light as an hart, my soul shall bound,
The lame shall leap for joy.
Blind.
9 If thou, my God, art passing by,
O! let me find thee near;
Jesus, in mercy hear my cry,
Thou, son, of David, hear;
10 See, I am waiting in the way,
For thee the heavenly light;
Command me to be brought, and say,
"Sinner, receive thy sight."
Possessed.
11 Cast out thy foes, and let them still
To thy great name submit;
Clothe with thy righteousness, and heal,
And place me at thy feet.
12 From sin, and guilt, the power, the pain,
Thou wilt releive my soul;
Lord, I believe, and not in vain,
For thou wilt make me whole.

Miracles attending Israel's Journey
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #202a (1786) Topics: Miracles in the Wilderness; Miracles in the Wilderness First Line: When Israel, freed from Pharaoh's hand Lyrics: 1 When Israel, freed from Pharaoh’s hand,
Left the proud tyrant and his land,
The tribes with cheerful homage own
Their king, and Judah was his throne.
2 A-cross the deep their journey lay;
The deep divides to make them way;
Jordan beheld their march, and fled
With backward current to his head.
3 The mountains shook like frighted sheep,
Like lambs the little hillocks leap:
Not Sinai on her base could stand,
Conscious of sovereign power at hand.
4 What power could make the deep divide?
Make Jordan backward roll his tide?
Why did ye leap, ye little hills?
And whence the fright that Sinai feels?
5 Let every mountain, every flood
Retire and know th' approaching God,
The King of Israel: see him here;
Tremble thou earth, adore and fear.
6 He thunders, and all nature mourns,
The rock to standing pools he turns;
Flints spring with fountains at his word,
And fires and seas confess the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 114 Languages: English

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Topics: Jesus Christ Miracles of; Jesus Christ Miracles of Composer of "ST. AËLRED" in Voices Together 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.

Cecil Frances Alexander
1818 - 1895 Person Name: Mrs. Cecil F. Alexander Topics: Jesus Christ Miracles Author of "Jesus Calls Us, O'er the Tumult" in Lift Up Your Hearts As a small girl, Cecil Frances Humphries (b. Redcross, County Wicklow, Ireland, 1818; Londonderry, Ireland, 1895) wrote poetry in her school's journal. In 1850 she married Rev. William Alexander, who later became the Anglican primate (chief bishop) of Ireland. She showed her concern for disadvantaged people by traveling many miles each day to visit the sick and the poor, providing food, warm clothes, and medical supplies. She and her sister also founded a school for the deaf. Alexander was strongly influenced by the Oxford Movement and by John Keble's Christian Year. Her first book of poetry, Verses for Seasons, was a "Christian Year" for children. She wrote hymns based on the Apostles' Creed, baptism, the Lord's Supper, the Ten Commandments, and prayer, writing in simple language for children. Her more than four hundred hymn texts were published in Verses from the Holy Scripture (1846), Hymns for Little Children (1848), and Hymns Descriptive and Devotional ( 1858).

==================
Alexander, Cecil Frances, née Humphreys, second daughter of the late Major John Humphreys, Miltown House, co. Tyrone, Ireland, b. 1823, and married in 1850 to the Rt. Rev. W. Alexander, D.D., Bishop of Derry and Raphoe. Mrs. Alexander's hymns and poems number nearly 400. They are mostly for children, and were published in her Verses for Holy Seasons, with Preface by Dr. Hook, 1846; Poems on Subjects in the Old Testament, pt. i. 1854, pt. ii. 1857; Narrative Hymns for Village Schools, 1853; Hymns for Little Children, 1848; Hymns Descriptive and Devotional, 1858; The Legend of the Golden Prayers 1859; Moral Songs, N.B.; The Lord of the Forest and his Vassals, an Allegory, &c.; or contributed to the Lyra Anglicana, the S.P.C.K. Psalms and Hymns, Hymns Ancient & Modern, and other collections. Some of the narrative hymns are rather heavy, and not a few of the descriptive are dull, but a large number remain which have won their way to the hearts of the young, and found a home there. Such hymns as "In Nazareth in olden time," "All things bright and beautiful," "Once in Royal David's city," "There is a green hill far away," "Jesus calls us o'er the tumult," "The roseate hues of early dawn," and others that might be named, are deservedly popular and are in most extensive use. Mrs. Alexander has also written hymns of a more elaborate character; but it is as a writer for children that she has excelled.
