Hymnal: The Psalter #223 (1912) Topics: Civil Magistracy First Line: Where'er His creatures gather Lyrics: 1 Where'er His creatures gather
The unseen God is near;
Let rulers fear their Ruler,
Their Judge let judges fear.
How long, ye earthly judges,
Will ye pervert the right?
How long shall wicked persons
Have favor in your sight?
2 Do justice for the helpless,
The orphan's cause maintain;
Defend the poor and needy,
Oppressed and wronged for gain.
When rulers walk in darkness,
When judges truth forsake,
The cornerstones are crumbled,
The firm foundations shake.
3 The Most High God has called you
And set you up on high,
But ye to Him must answer,
For ye like men must die.
Arise, O God Eternal,
Thou Judge of all the earth,
Thro' all Thy ransomed nations
Send now Thy justice forth. Scripture: Psalm 82 Languages: English Tune Title: ALGIERS

The Kingship of Jesus Christ
Hymnal: The Psalter #3 (1912) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Civil Magistracy First Line: Wherefore do the nations rage Lyrics: 1 Wherefore do the nations rage
And the people vainly dream
That in triumph they can wage
War against the King supreme?
Christ His Son a scoff they make,
And the rulers, plotting, say:
Their dominion let us break
Let us cast their yoke away,
Their dominion let us break,
Let us cast their yoke away.
2 But the Lord will scorn them all,
Calm, He sits enthroned on high;
Soon His wrath will on them fall,
Sore displeased He will reply:
Yet according to My will
I have set My King to reign,
And on Zion's holy hill
My Anointed I maintain;
And on Zion's holy hill
My Anointed I maintain.
3 This His word shall be made known,
This Jehovah's firm decree:
Thou art My beloved Son,
Yea I have begotten Thee.
All the earth at Thy request
I will give Thee for Thy own;
Then Thy might shall be confessed
And Thy foes be overthrown;
Then Thy might shall be confessed
And Thy foes be overthrown.
4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear,
Hearken, judges of the earth;
Learn to serve the Lord with fear.
Mingle trembling with your mirth.
Kiss the Son, lest o'er our way
His consuming wrath should break;
But supremely blest are they
Who in Christ their refuge take;
But supremely blest are they
Who in Christ their refuge take.

Joseph Haydn
1732 - 1809 Person Name: F. J. Haydn Topics: Civil Magistracy Composer of "[O praise ye the Lord! prepare your glad voice]" in Bible Songs Franz Joseph Haydn (b. Rohrau, Austria, 1732; d. Vienna, Austria, 1809) Haydn's life was relatively uneventful, but his artistic legacy was truly astounding. He began his musical career as a choirboy in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, spent some years in that city making a precarious living as a music teacher and composer, and then served as music director for the Esterhazy family from 1761 to 1790. Haydn became a most productive and widely respected composer of symphonies, chamber music, and piano sonatas. In his retirement years he took two extended tours to England, which resulted in his "London" symphonies and (because of G. F. Handel's influence) in oratorios. Haydn's church music includes six great Masses and a few original hymn tunes. Hymnal editors have also arranged hymn tunes from various themes in Haydn's music.

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy
1809 - 1847 Person Name: Mendelssohn Topics: Civil Magistracy Composer of "HERALD ANGELS" in The Psalter Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (b. Hamburg, Germany, 1809; d. Leipzig, Germany, 1847) was the son of banker Abraham Mendelssohn and the grandson of philosopher Moses Mendelssohn. His Jewish family became Christian and took the Bartholdy name (name of the estate of Mendelssohn's uncle) when baptized into the Lutheran church. The children all received an excellent musical education. Mendelssohn had his first public performance at the age of nine and by the age of sixteen had written several symphonies. Profoundly influenced by J. S. Bach's music, he conducted a performance of the St. Matthew Passion in 1829 (at age 20!) – the first performance since Bach's death, thus reintroducing Bach to the world. Mendelssohn organized the Domchor in Berlin and founded the Leipzig Conservatory of Music in 1843. Traveling widely, he not only became familiar with various styles of music but also became well known himself in countries other than Germany, especially in England. He left a rich treasury of music: organ and piano works, overtures and incidental music, oratorios (including St. Paul or Elijah and choral works, and symphonies. He harmonized a number of hymn tunes himself, but hymnbook editors also arranged some of his other tunes into hymn tunes.

George Frideric Handel
1685 - 1759 Person Name: Handel Topics: Civil Magistracy Composer of "CHRISTMAS" in The Psalter George Frideric Handel (b. Halle, Germany, 1685; d. London, England, 1759) became a musician and composer despite objections from his father, who wanted him to become a lawyer. Handel studied music with Zachau, organist at the Halle Cathedral, and became an accomplished violinist and keyboard performer. He traveled and studied in Italy for some time and then settled permanently in England in 1713. Although he wrote a large number of instrumental works, he is known mainly for his Italian operas, oratorios (including Messiah, 1741), various anthems for church and royal festivities, and organ concertos, which he interpolated into his oratorio performances. He composed only three hymn tunes, one of which (GOPSAL) still appears in some modern hymnals. A number of hymnal editors, including Lowell Mason, took themes from some of Handel's oratorios and turned them into hymn tunes; ANTIOCH is one example, long associated with “Joy to the World.”
