Lord, Have Mercy When We Pray
Author: Henry H. Milman Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, have mercy when we pray,
Strength to seek a better way;
When our wakening thoughts begin
First to loathe their cherished sin;
When the earliest gleam is giv’n,
Of the bright but distant Heav’n,
Then Thy fostering grace afford,
Then, oh, then! Have mercy, Lord.
2 Lord, have mercy when we know
First how vain this world below;
When its darker thoughts oppress,
Doubts perplex, and fears distress;
Sigh for death, yet fear it still,
From the dread of future ill;
When the dim, advancing gloom
Tells us that our hour is come.
3 Lord, have mercy when we lie
On the restless bed, and sigh—
When our weary spirits fail,
And our aching brows are pale;
When all other hope is gone,
When our course is almost done,
When is loosed the silver cord—
Then, oh, then! have mercy, Lord. Used With Tune: MADRID Text Sources: Hymns Written and Adapted to the Weekly Church Service of the Year by Reginald Heber (London: J. Murray, 1827)

What Good News The Angels Bring
Author: William Hammond Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What good news the angels bring,
What glad tidings of our king!
Christ the Lord is born today,
Christ, who takes our sins away!
He who rules both Heav’n and earth,
Hath in Bethlehem His birth;
Him shall all the people see,
And rejoice eternally.
2 Lift your hearts and voices high,
With hosannas fill the sky;
"Glory be to God above,"
Who is infinite in love!
"Peace on earth, good will to men!"
Now with us our God is seen;
Angels, join with us in praise!
Help to sing redeeming grace.
3 Now the wall is broken down,
Now the Gospel is made known;
Now the door is open wide,
Christ for Jew and Gentile died;
All who feel the weight of sin,
All who languish to be clean;
All who for redemption groan,
May be saved by faith alone.
4 Jesus is the lovely name:
This the angel doth proclaim;
He shall all His people save,
They in Him remission have;
When they see themselves undone,
They take refuge in the Son;
They shall all be born again,
And with Him in glory reign.
5 Shout, ye nations of the earth,
Sing the triumphs of His birth;
All the world by Him is blest,
Sound His praise from east to west;
Jews and Gentiles jointly sing,
Christ our common Lord and king;
Christ, our life, our joy, our song,
To eternity prolong! Used With Tune: MADRID Text Sources: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns by Samuel Jones and Burgis Allison (Philadelphia: R. Aitken & Son, 1790)

Robert Grant
1779 - 1838 Person Name: Sir Robert Grant Author of "Saviour, when in dust to thee" in The Book of Common Praise Robert Grant (b. Bengal, India, 1779; d. Dalpoorie, India, 1838) was influenced in writing this text by William Kethe’s paraphrase of Psalm 104 in the Anglo-Genevan Psalter (1561). Grant’s text was first published in Edward Bickersteth’s Christian Psalmody (1833) with several unauthorized alterations. In 1835 his original six-stanza text was published in Henry Elliott’s Psalm and Hymns (The original stanza 3 was omitted in Lift Up Your Hearts).
Of Scottish ancestry, Grant was born in India, where his father was a director of the East India Company. He attended Magdalen College, Cambridge, and was called to the bar in 1807. He had a distinguished public career a Governor of Bombay and as a member of the British Parliament, where he sponsored a bill to remove civil restrictions on Jews. Grant was knighted in 1834. His hymn texts were published in the Christian Observer (1806-1815), in Elliot’s Psalms and Hymns (1835), and posthumously by his brother as Sacred Poems (1839).

========================
Grant, Sir Robert, second son of Mr. Charles Grant, sometime Member of Parliament for Inverness, and a Director of the East India Company, was born in 1785, and educated at Cambridge, where he graduated in 1806. Called to the English Bar in 1807, he became Member of Parliament for Inverness in 1826; a Privy Councillor in 1831; and Governor of Bombay, 1834. He died at Dapoorie, in Western India, July 9, 1838. As a hymnwriter of great merit he is well and favourably known. His hymns, "O worship the King"; "Saviour, when in dust to Thee"; and "When gathering clouds around I view," are widely used in all English-speaking countries. Some of those which are less known are marked by the same graceful versification and deep and tender feeling. The best of his hymns were contributed to the Christian Observer, 1806-1815, under the signature of "E—y, D. R."; and to Elliott's Psalms & Hymns, Brighton, 1835. In the Psalms & Hymns those which were taken from the Christian Observer were rewritten by the author. The year following his death his brother, Lord Glenelg, gathered 12 of his hymns and poems together, and published them as:— Sacred Poems. By the late Eight Hon. Sir Robert Grant. London, Saunders & Otley, Conduit Street, 1839. It was reprinted in 1844 and in 1868.
This volume is accompanied by a short "Notice," dated "London, Juno 18, 1839."

Grant, Sir R., p. 450, i. Other hymns are:—
1. From Olivet's sequester'd scats. Palm Sunday.

Small Church Music
Editors: Christian H. Bateman 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.
