Another Day Is at Its Close
Author: Johan Olof Wallin; Johann Friedrich Herzog; Rev. Ernst Adrian Zetterstrand Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Another day is at its close,
Its joys and sorrows spent;
Another night with sweet repose
Unto the earth is sent.
In Thee, O Lord, my trust I place,
No change can Thee befall;
My days and nights, filled with Thy grace,
By Thee are numbered all.
2 Safe in Thy keeping let me be
When daylight fades away;
And gladly will I worship Thee
When dawns another day.
If death this night should summon me,
O Jesus, be Thou nigh;
Grant that I rest secure in Thee
Whether I live or die.

O God, to Thine Anointed King
O God, to Thine Anointed King
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. O God, to Thine anointed king
Give truth and righteousness;
Thy people He will justly judge
And give the poor redress.
Then every fruitful mountainside
Shall yield its rich increase,
And righteousness in all the land
Shall bear the fruit of peace.
2. The poor man’s cause He will maintain,
The needy He will bless,
And He will break the strength of those
Who would the poor oppress.
So men shall fear Thee while the sun
In daily splendor glows,
And through all ages, while the moon
On earth its light bestows.
3. Like rain upon the newborn grass,
That falls refreshingly,
Like gentle showers that cheer the earth,
So shall His coming be.
The righteous in His glorious day
Shall flourish and increase,
The earth, until the moon shall fade,
Shall have abundant peace. Used With Tune: ISHPEMING Text Sources: From The Psalter (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: The United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1912), number 193

O God, to Thine Anointed King
Lord, who at Cana's wedding feast
Author: Adelaide Thrupp; Godfrey Thring, 1823 - 1903 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #301 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Lord, who at Cana’s wedding feast
Didst as a guest appear,
Thou, dearer far than earthly guest,
Vouchsafe thy presence here;
For holy thou indeed dost prove
The marriage vow to be,
Proclaiming it a type of love
Between the Church and thee;
2 The holiest vow that man can make,
The golden thread in life,
The bond that none may dare to break,
That bindeth man and wife;
Which, blest by thee, whate’er betides,
No evil shall destroy,
Through care-worn days each care divides,
And doubles every joy. A-men.
3 On those who at thine altar kneel,
O Lord, thy blessing pour,
That each may wake the other’s zeal
To love thee more and more:
O grant them here in peace to live,
In purity and love,
And, this world leaving, to receive
A crown of life above.
Amen. Topics: Home and Family; Sacraments and Rites Marriage Languages: English Tune Title: ISHPEMING

Godfrey Thring
1823 - 1903 Person Name: Godfrey Thring, 1823 - 1903 Composer, Stanza 2 of "Lord, who at Cana's wedding feast" in Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America Godfrey Thring (b. Alford, Somersetshire, England, 1823; d. Shamley Green, Guilford, Surrey, England, 1903) was born in the parsonage of Alford, where his father was rector. Educated at Balliol College, Oxford, England, he was ordained a priest in the Church of England in 1847. After serving in several other parishes, Thring returned to Alford and Hornblotten in 1858 to succeed his father as rector, a position he retained until his own retirement in 1893. He was also associated with Wells Cathedral (1867-1893). After 1861 Thring wrote many hymns and published several hymnals, including Hymns Congregational (1866), Hymns and Sacred Lyrics (1874), and the respected A Church of England Hymn Book Adapted to the Daily Services of the Church Throughout the Year (1880), which was enlarged as The Church of England Hymn Book (1882).

On taking Holy Orders he was curate of Stratfield-Turgis, 1846-50; of Strathfieldsaye, 1850-53; and of other parishes to 1858, when he became rector of Alford-with-Hornblotton, Somerset. R.D. 1867-76. In 1876 he was preferred as prebend of East Harptree in Wells cathedral. Prebendary Thring's poetical works are:— Hymns Congregational and Others, 1866; Hymns and Verses, 1866; and Hymns and Sacred Lyrics, 1874. In 1880 he published A Church of England Hymnbook Adapted to the Daily Services of the Church throughout the Year; and in 1882, a revised and much improved edition of the same as The Church of England Hymn Book, &c.
A great many of Prebendary Thring's hymns are annotated under their respective first lines; the rest in common use include:—
1. Beneath the Church's hallowed shade. Consecration of a Burial Ground. Written in 1870. This is one of four hymns set to music by Dr. Dykes, and first published by Novello & Co., 1873. It was also included (but without music) in the author's Hymns & Sacred Lyrics, 1874, p. 170, and in his Collection, 1882.
2. Blessed Saviour, Thou hast taught us. Quinquagesima. Written in 1866, and first published in the author's Hymns Congregational and Others, 1866. It was republished in his Hymns & Sacred Lyrics, 1874; and his Collection, 1882. It is based upon the Epistle for Quinquagesima.
3. Blot out our sins of old. Lent. Written in 1862, and first published in Hymns Congregational and Others

Author of "O God, to Thine Anointed King" in The Cyber 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.

Johan Olof Wallin
1779 - 1839 Author of "Another Day Is at Its Close" in The Hymnal and Order of Service Johan Olaf Wallin was born at Stora Tuna, in 1779, and early displayed his poetical powers. In 1805, and again in 1809, he gained the chief prize for poetry at Upsala. In the latter year he became pastor at Solna; here his ability as a preacher was so striking that he was transferred to Stockholm, in 1815, as "pastor primarius," a title for which we have no exact equivalent. In 1818 he was made Dean of Westeras, and set about the task of editing a revised hymn-book for the whole of Sweden. This task he completed in 1819, and published it as, Den Swenska Psalmboken, af Konungen gillad och stadfästad (The Swedish hymn-book, approved and confirmed by the King). To it he contributed some 150 hymns of his own, besides translations and recastings; and the book remains now in the form in which he brought it out. It is highly prized by the Swedes, and is in use everywhere.
