Soldier, Rouse Thee!
Author: George S. Railton Meter: 8.8.8.5 D with refrain Appears in 25 hymnals First Line: Soldier, rouse thee! War is raging Refrain First Line: Through the world resounding Lyrics: 1 Soldier, rouse thee! War is raging,
God and fiends are battle waging—
Every ransomed pow’r engaging,
Break the tempter’s spell.
Dare ye still lie fondly dreaming,
Wrapt in ease and worldly scheming,
While the multitudes are streaming
Downwards into hell?
Refrain:
Through the world resounding,
Let the gospel sounding,
Summon all, at Jesus’ call
His glorious cross surrounding.
Sons of God, earth’s trifles leaving,
Be not faithless but believing,
To your conqu’ring Captain cleaving,
Forward in the fight.
2 Lord, we come, and from Thee never
Self nor earth our hearts shall sever;
Thine entirely, Thine forever,
We will fight and die.
To a world of rebels dying,
Heav’n and hell and God defying,
Everywhere we’ll still be crying,
“Will ye perish—why?” [Refrain]
3 Hark! I hear the warriors shouting,
Now the hosts of hell we’re routing;
Courage! Onward! Never doubting,
We shall win the day.
See the foe before us falling,
Sinners on the Savior calling,
Throwing off the bondage galling—
Join our glad array.

Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Author of "Hail! Our Brotherhood Foundation" in The Fellowship Hymn Book 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.

Joseph Barnby
1838 - 1896 Person Name: Sir Joseph Barnby Harmonizer of "MEN OF HARLECH" in The Fellowship Hymn Book Joseph Barnby (b. York, England, 1838; d. London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873).
