How many are against me, Lord
Author: Christopher Idle, 1938- Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How many are against me, Lord:
how many fierce attacks rise up!
They say, "God will not come to help,"
and people taunt, "There is no hope."
2 But you are round me, Lord, my shield,
but you, my glory, lift my head!
You hear me from your holy hill
and answer when I cry aloud.
3 I go to rest, and sleep in peace–
I wake again; God keeps me safe:
ten thousand shall not make me fear,
for all their threats to take my life.
4 Arise, O Lord, to rescue me:
arise and save me, O my God!
You silence all my enemies
till scorn and spite are all destroyed.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Sing now with joy unto the Lord" in The Hymnal 1982 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.

Seth Curtis Beach
1837 - 1932 Person Name: Seth Curtis Beach, 1837-1932 Author of "Mysterious Presence, Source of All" in Hymns of the Saints Seth Curtis Beach was born on August 8, 1837 in western New York State. He was a Unitarian minister, author, poet and hymnist. The family lived in a log cabin they had built on a fifty acre farm near the village of Marion, New York. His mother and older sister tutored him until he was eight.
In 1858 he enrolled at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, but transferred to Union College in Schenectady, New York and gradated from there with an A.B. degree in 1863. As a Unitarian, Beach enrolled at Harvard Divinity School to prepare for the ministry. After college he preached as a supply minister for a number of churches eventually settling at All Souls Unitarian Church in Augusta, Maine in 1867. He also served as minister at First Church in Dedham and later in Bangor. He published several books of sermons, served as secretary of the national Unitarian Ministerial Union, and was appointed Superintendent for Missionary Work in Northern New England for the American Unitarian Association (AUA). He visited struggling parishes in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont helping them to solve congregational problems.
Seth Curtis Beach died in 1932. The Unitarian Year Book called him “the dean of our Unitarian ministers.”

Small Church Music
Description:
History
The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset
of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano
with organ versions.
About the Recordings All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs.
