Appears in 244 hymnals Topics: Service Music Evening Canticles Lyrics: 1 My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 2 For He hath regarded the lowliness of His handmaiden. 3 For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 4 For He that is mighty hath magnified me, and holy is His name. 5 And His mercy is on them that fear Him throughout all generations. 6 He hath showed strength with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 7 He hath put down the mighty from their seat; and hath exalted the humble and meek. 8 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich He hath sent empty away. 9 He, remembering His mercy, hath holpen His servant Israel, As He promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed for ever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Charles Coffin

1676 - 1749 Person Name: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749 Topics: Canticles and Scripture Paraphrases Paraphraser of "What star is this" in The Book of Praise Coffin, Charles, born at Buzaney (Ardennes) in 1676, died 1749, was principal of the college at Beauvais, 1712 (succeeding the historian Rollin), and rector of the University of Paris, 1718. He published in 1727 some, of his Latin poems, for which he was already noted, and in 1736 the bulk of his hymns appeared in the Paris Breviary of that year. In the same year he published them as Hymni Sacri Auctore Carolo Coffin, and in 1755 a complete ed. of his Works was issued in 2 vols. To his Hymni Sacri is prefixed an interesting preface. The whole plan of his hymns, and of the Paris Breviary which he so largely influenced, comes out in his words. "In his porro scribendis Hymnis non tam poetico indulgendunv spiritui, quam nitoro et pietate consulendum esse existimavi. Pleraque igitur, argumentis convenientia e purissiinis Scripturae Sacrae fontibus deprompsi quac idoneis Ecclesiae cantui numeris alligarem." His hymns are described by a French critic as having less brilliancy than those of Santüil (q.v.), but more simplicity and unction. They number 100 in the edition of 1736. Translated into English by J. Chandler, I. Williams and others, are noted under their respective Latin first lines. [William T. Brooke] -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

William Henry Monk

1823 - 1889 Person Name: William Henry Monk, 1823-1889 Topics: Canticles and Scripture Paraphrases Composer of "EVENTIDE" in The Book of Praise 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
