How bright these glorious spirits shine!
This Is the Day the Lord Hath Made
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 593 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This is the day the Lord hath made;
and unto us did give;
come, let us now rejoice in it,
and gladly in it live!
2 Today he rose and left the dead,
and Satan's empire fell;
today the saints his triumphs spread,
and all his wonders tell.
3 Hosanna to th'anointed King,
to David’s holy Son!
Make haste to help us, Lord, and bring
salvation from thy throne.
4 Blest be the Lord, who comes in power
with messages of grace,
who comes in this accepted hour
to save our sinful race.
5 Hosanna in the highest strains
the church on earth can raise:
the highest heav'ns, in which God reigns
shall give him nobler praise.

This Is the Day the Lord Hath Made
Fill Thou My Life, O Lord My God
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 95 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Fill thou my life, O Lord my God,
in every part with praise,
that my whole being may proclaim
thy being and thy ways.
2 Not for the lip of praise alone,
nor e'en the praising heart --
I ask but for a life made up
of praise in ev'ry part.
3 Praise in the common things of life,
its goings out and in,
praise in each duty and each deed,
however small and mean.
4 So shalt thou, gracious Lord, from me
receive the glory due,
and so shall I begin on earth
the song forever new.
5 So shall no part of day or night
from sacredness be free,
but all my life, in ev'ry step,
be fellowship with thee.

They in the Lord that firmly trust
O cross of Christ, immortal tree
Author: Stanbrook Abbey Hymnal: Common Praise #115 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O cross of Christ, immortal tree
on which our Saviour died,
the world is sheltered by your arms
that bore the crucified.
2 From bitter death and barren wood
the tree of life is made;
its branches bear unfailing fruit
and leaves that never fade.
3 O faithful cross, you stand unmoved
while ages run their course:
foundation of the universe,
creation's binding force.
4 Give glory to the risen Christ
and to his cross give praise,
the sign of God's unfathomed love,
the hope of all our days. Topics: Passiontide and Holy Week Scripture: Acts 5:30 Languages: English Tune Title: ARDEN

William Cameron
1751 - 1811 Person Name: W. Cameron (1751-1811) Adapter of "How bright these glorious spirits shine" in Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) William Cameron was born in 1751. He studied at Marischal College, Aberdeen, and in 1785 was ordained minister of Kirknewton, in Mid Lothian. He died in 1811. He was the author of several works.
--Annotations of the Hymnal, Charles Hutchins, M.A. 1872.
================
Cameron, William, M.A., seems to have been born in 1751, at or near Pananich, a hamlet near Ballater, Aberdeenshire, his father, a son of Cameron of Glen Nevis, being apparently then a farmer in the parish of Glenmuick. He studied at the University of Aberdeen (Marischal College), where he graduated M.A. in 1770, was ordained parish minister of Kirk-newton, Midlothian, in 1786, and died at Kirk-newton, Nov. 17,1811. Though not a member of the Committee appointed by the General Assembly of 1775, to revise the Scottish Translations and Paraphrases of 1745-51, yet the burden of revision seems to have fallen upon him (probably through the influence of Dr. Hugh Blair), as to him are ascribed the changes made in 1775-1781 in no less than 34 of that collection, which in the 1781 are numbered thus:—Nos. 1, 3, 4, 6, 7.22, 24, 26, 32, 34, 36, 39-43, 45-47, 49-52, 54-57, 59-61, 63, 65-67. He is also said to be the author of Nos. 14 and 17, in the 1781 collection, and to have altered Nos. 5, 12 of those first included there. His published works are:—
(1) Poems on Various Subjects (Edin., Gordon & Murray). 1780, containing 8 poems, 3 fables, and 20 lyric odes, two of which are called hymns. (2) Poems on Several Occasions (Edin., A. Constable & Co.), 1813; with 2 poems (1 from 1780), 2 fables (from 1780), and 23 lyric odes. Of the lyric odes 6 are so-called hymns (2 from 1780), and 5 are Psalm versions. Of the remaining twelve, 7 are from his 1780 volume, and 6— including a continuation of Dr. Beattie's Minstrel, in two books—printed for the first time. But neither volume contains any of the original hymns or recasts he is said to have contributed to the Translations and Paraphrases of 1781.
The ascriptions above are taken from the markings by Cameron's eldest daughter in a copy of the Psalms and Paraphrases kindly lent by her son, Mr. R. G. Sillar, of Bexley, Kent. Another son, Mr. W. C. Sillar, of Blackheath, London, possesses a us. volume of poems by his grandfather, which, however, like the printed volumes, contains none of the Paraphrases of 1781. To Cameron, No. 12 of the 1781, and the changes made, in 1781, on Nos. 13,15, and Hymn iv. have been sometimes ascribed, but they are not assigned to him in his daughter's markings. These markings thus apportion the remainder of the Scottish contributions:—to Logan, Nos. 8-11,27, 31, 63,58, and Hymn v., besides No. 48, which he merely altered, and No. 59, in which he probably had no share: to Logan and Morison, No. 28; to Morison, Nos. 19, 21, 29,30,35, besides No. 38, which more probably owes its form in 1781 to Bruce or Logan: to Blair Nos. 4,33, 34, 44 (a cento): to Robertson, Nos. 25, 26,42, 43: to Blacklock, No. 16: to Randall, No. 49: and to Ogilvie, No. 62. They also give Logan as alterer of Nos. 2, 18, 23, 25, from the 1745-51; and of No. 30 of those added in 1781. Bruce's name is never mentioned. Nos. 6,12,18,23,52, are ascribed to Watts—so far as we can see without shadow of proof—while the recast from Watts, No. 50 in 1781, is ascribed to Randall.
A list by the late Principal Lee of Edinburgh (now, as revised by the late Dr. David Laing, in the possession of Mr. William Bonar, Kensington, London), professedly based on a list in the possession of Cameron, differs in ascribing No. 12 of the 1781 to Cameron, and the alterations on Nos. 13,15; while not ascribing to him the alterations on Nos. 5, 32,56. It marks as anonymous from the 1745, Nos. 23, 26, 30 (!), 52, 59. The recast from the 1745, No. 38, it ascribes to Logan, and the recast No. 50, from Watts, is given as anonymous from the 1745. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]

Small Church Music
Editors: Anne Steele Description:
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. 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) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo
and pitch to suit their local needs.
