Here from the font is poured Grace on each sinful child; The blest anointing of the Lord Brightens the once defiled. 3. Here Christ to faithful hearts His body gives for food; The Lamb of God Himself imparts The chalice of His blood. 4. Here guilty souls that pine May health and pardon win; The Judge acquits, and grace divine Restores the dead in sin. 5. Yea, God enthroned on high Here also dwells to bless; Here trains adoring souls that sigh His mansions to possess. 6. Against this holy home Rude tempests harmless beat, And Satan’s angels fiercely come But to endure defeat. 7. All might, all praise be Thine, Father, co-equal Son, And Spirit, Bond of love divine, Where endless ages run. Used With Tune: ST. HELENA (Milgrove) Text Sources: Paris Breviary, 1680; Translation in the British Magazine, July 1837

Benjamin Milgrove

1731 - 1810 Composer of "ST. HELENA" in American Lutheran Hymnal

Anonymous

Person Name: ? Composer of "ST. HELENA" in The Church Hymnal 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.

William Henry Monk

1823 - 1889 Person Name: W. H. Monk Arranger of "ST. HELENA" in The Book of Praise for Sunday Schools William H. Monk (b. Brompton, London, England, 1823; d. London, 1889) is best known for his music editing of Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861, 1868; 1875, and 1889 editions). He also adapted music from plainsong and added accompaniments for Introits for Use Throughout the Year, a book issued with that famous hymnal. Beginning in his teenage years, Monk held a number of musical positions. He became choirmaster at King's College in London in 1847 and was organist and choirmaster at St. Matthias, Stoke Newington, from 1852 to 1889, where he was influenced by the Oxford Movement. At St. Matthias, Monk also began daily choral services with the choir leading the congregation in music chosen according to the church year, including psalms chanted to plainsong. He composed over fifty hymn tunes and edited The Scottish Hymnal (1872 edition) and Wordsworth's Hymns for the Holy Year (1862) as well as the periodical Parish Choir (1840-1851). Bert Polman
