"Es digno el cordero," decimos nosotros, "Pues Él por los hombres su vida dio aquí." 3 Digno eres, Jesús, de alcanzar en los cielos Poder y riquezas y gloria y honor, Y las bendiciones que darte podemos Se eleven por siempre a tu trono, Señor. 4 Que todos los seres que hiciera tu mano Que pueblan la tierra, y el aire y el mar, Unidos proclamen tus glorias eternas, Y dente alabanzas, Señor, sin cesar. 5 El nombre, sagrado del Dios de los cielos A una bendiga la gran creación, Y llegue al cordero sentado en el trono El dulce tributo de su adoración.

Triumphant Zion! lift thy head

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #129 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 Triumphant Zion! lift thy head From dust and darkness, and the dead! Though humbled long--awake at length, And gird thee with Thy Saviour’s strength! 2 Put all thy beauteous garments on, And let thy excellence be known; Decked in the robes of righteousness, The world thy glories shall confess. 3 No more shall foes unclean invade, And fill thy hallowed walls with dread; No more shall hell’s insulting host Their victory and thy sorrows boast. 4 God, from on high, has heard thy prayer His hand thy ruin shall repair; Nor will thy watchful Monarch cease To guard thee in eternal peace.

Samuel Webbe

1740 - 1816 Person Name: S. Webbe, 1740-1816 Topics: The Church Militant and Triumphant Composer of "BENEVENTO" in The Methodist Hymn-Book with Tunes Samuel Webbe (the elder; b. London, England, 1740; d. London, 1816) Webbe's father died soon after Samuel was born without providing financial security for the family. Thus Webbe received little education and was apprenticed to a cabinetmaker at the age of eleven. However, he was determined to study and taught himself Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French, German, and Italian while working on his apprenticeship. He also worked as a music copyist and received musical training from Carl Barbant, organist at the Bavarian Embassy. Restricted at this time in England, Roman Catholic worship was freely permitted in the foreign embassies. Because Webbe was Roman Catholic, he became organist at the Portuguese Chapel and later at the Sardinian and Spanish chapels in their respective embassies. He wrote much music for Roman Catholic services and composed hymn tunes, motets, and madrigals. Webbe is considered an outstanding composer of glees and catches, as is evident in his nine published collections of these smaller choral works. He also published A Collection of Sacred Music (c. 1790), A Collection of Masses for Small Choirs (1792), and, with his son Samuel (the younger), Antiphons in Six Books of Anthems (1818).

Samuel Crossman

1623 - 1684 Person Name: S. Crossman (1624-1683) Topics: God's Church The Church Triumphant, Heaven Author of "O happy place!" in Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) Crossman, Samuel , B.D. From A. Wood's Athenae Oxonienses (1720, vol. ii. p. 730) we gather all that is known of this hymnwriter. Wood says concerning him:— "Samuel Crossman, Bachelor of Divinity of Cambridge, and Prebendary of Bristol, son of Samuel Crossman, of Bradfield Monachorum, in Suffolk. He hath written and published several things, as The Young Man's Monitor, &c, London, 1664, 8vo., and several sermons, among which are two sermons preached in the Cathedral of Bristol, 30th Jan., 1679, and 30th Jan., 1680, being the days of public humiliation for the execrable murder of King Charles I, printed at London, 1681, &c.; also a sermon preached 23rd April, 1680, in the Cathedral Church of Bristol, before the Gentlemen of the Artillery Company newly raised in that City, printed at London, 1680, &c; and, "An Humble Plea for the quiet rest of God's Ark," preached before Sir Joh. Moore, Lord Mayor of London, at St. Mildred's Church in the Poultrey, 5th February, 1681, London, 1682, 4to, &c. He died 4th February, 1683, aged 69 years, and was buried in the South Aisle of the Cathedral Church in Bristol" [of which he had been appointed Dean a few weeks before]. Crossman's contributions to hymnody were given in a small pamphlet entitled:— The Young Man's Meditation, or some few Sacred Poems upon Select Subjects, and Scriptures. By Samuel Crossman, B.D. London, Printed by J. H., &c, 1664. This pamphlet, which was reprinted by D. Sedgwick, London, 1863, contains 9 sacred poems. Of these the following are in common use:— 1. My life's a shade, my days. Resurrection. This is in 6 stanzas of 4 lines, together with a chorus to each stanza of 4 Lines. It is sometimes given as "Life is a shade, my days," as in Kennedy, 1863. 2. Sweet place, sweet place alone, Pt. i. Jerusalem on high, Pt. ii. These two parts form one poem on Heaven. The most popular portion is Pt. ii. This is given in numerous collections in Great Britain and America. Part i. is not so extensively used. From the two parts the cento "Earth's but a sorry tent," in the Dutch Reformed Hymns of the Church, N. Y. 1869, is also taken. 3. Farewell, poor world, I must be gone. Death anticipated. This is given in the Comprehensive Rippon, 1844, and in a few of the older American hymnbooks. 4. My song is love unknown. In the Anglican Hymnbook, 1863 -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
