Another day, a day of grace
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #118 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Day of grace; Grace and glory day of Lyrics:
Another day, a day of grace
Is given us from on high;
The sun rejoicing runs his race
Of glory round the sky.
We love to hail him on the way,
With healing in his wings,
For every time he brings a day,
A day of grace he brings;--
Of grace to weary ones, who sleep
As homeless Jacob slept;
Of grace to penitents, who weep
As fallen Peter wept;--
120
Grace, such as humble Mary moved
To choose the better part,
Saul's slaughter-breathing zeal reproved,
And open'd Lydia's heart.
Such grace be ours, howe'er the past
Have well or ill been spent;
To-day,--since this may be our last,--
To-day let us repent.
Now young and old, now great and small,
Seek we our Saviour's face,
That we henceforth this day may call
A day indeed of grace.
Languages: English
Another day, a day of grace
Now is the day of grace
Hymnal: Hymns for Christian Devotion #265 (1871) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Now is the Day of Grace Languages: English
Now is the day of grace
Life is the time to serve the Lord
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #297 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Day of grace; Grace day of Lyrics: 1 Life is the time to serve the Lord,
The time t'ensure the great reward;
And while the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest sinner may return.
2 Life is the hour that God has given
To ’scape from hell and fly to heaven;
The day of grace, and mortals may
Secure the blessings of the day.
3 Then what my thoughts design to do,
My hands, with all your might pursue,
Since no device, nor work is found,
Nor faith, nor hope, beneath the ground.
4 There are no acts of pardon past
In the cold grave, to which we haste,
But darkness, death, and long despair
Reign in eternal silence there. Languages: English
Life is the time to serve the Lord
John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Person Name: John B. Dykes Topics: Day of grace Composer of "ST. SYLVESTER" in The Hymnal As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern.

William Henry Monk
1823 - 1889 Person Name: William H. Monk Topics: Day of grace Composer of "ST. PHILIP" in The Hymnal 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).
