God the LORD, the King Almighty
Author: Christopher Idle Hymnal: Christian Worship #50A (2021) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Ten Commandments 3rd Commandment (Remember the Sabbath); Ten Commandments 6th Commandment (You shall not commit adultery); Ten Commandments 7th Commandment (You shall not steal); Ten Commandments 8th Commandment (You shall not give false witness) Lyrics: 1 God the Lord, the King Almighty,
calls the earth from east to west:
shining out from Zion's splendor,
city loveliest and best,
comes our God! He breaks the silence,
robed in burning majesty:
"Gather all my cov'nant people,
bound by sacrifice to me."
2 "Hear me testify against you:
listen, Israel, as I speak.
I do not require your off'rings,
sacrifice I do not seek.
Mountain birds and meadow creatures,
cattle on a thousand hills,
all the beasts are my possession,
moving as their maker wills."
3 God who owns the whole creation
needs no gift, no food, no house;
bring to him your heart's thanksgiving,
God Most High will hear your vows.
Trust him in the day of trouble,
call to him who will redeem;
he will be your strong deliv'rer,
his renown your daily theme.
4 Lies increase and evil prospers;
God is silent while men say,
"He has gone, let us forget him,"
thinking he is false as they.
But his word will judge or save us:
let us come before his throne,
giving thanks, receiving mercy,
God's salvation now made known. Scripture: Psalm 50 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. HILARY
God the LORD, the King Almighty

Johann Sebastian Bach
1685 - 1750 Person Name: Johann S. Bach, 1685-1750 Topics: Ten Commandments 9th Commandment (do not bear false witness) Harmonizer of "DARMSTADT (WAS FRAG' ICH NACH DER WELT)" in Psalms for All Seasons Johann Sebastian Bach was born at Eisenach into a musical family and in a town steeped in Reformation history, he received early musical training from his father and older brother, and elementary education in the classical school Luther had earlier attended.
Throughout his life he made extraordinary efforts to learn from other musicians. At 15 he walked to Lüneburg to work as a chorister and study at the convent school of St. Michael. From there he walked 30 miles to Hamburg to hear Johann Reinken, and 60 miles to Celle to become familiar with French composition and performance traditions. Once he obtained a month's leave from his job to hear Buxtehude, but stayed nearly four months. He arranged compositions from Vivaldi and other Italian masters. His own compositions spanned almost every musical form then known (Opera was the notable exception).
In his own time, Bach was highly regarded as organist and teacher, his compositions being circulated as models of contrapuntal technique. Four of his children achieved careers as composers; Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, and Chopin are only a few of the best known of the musicians that confessed a major debt to Bach's work in their own musical development. Mendelssohn began re-introducing Bach's music into the concert repertoire, where it has come to attract admiration and even veneration for its own sake.
After 20 years of successful work in several posts, Bach became cantor of the Thomas-schule in Leipzig, and remained there for the remaining 27 years of his life, concentrating on church music for the Lutheran service: over 200 cantatas, four passion settings, a Mass, and hundreds of chorale settings, harmonizations, preludes, and arrangements. He edited the tunes for Schemelli's Musicalisches Gesangbuch, contributing 16 original tunes. His choral harmonizations remain a staple for studies of composition and harmony. Additional melodies from his works have been adapted as hymn tunes.

John Darwall
1732 - 1789 Person Name: John Darwall, 1731-1789 Topics: Ten Commandments 2nd Commandment (do not make graven emages) Composer of "DARWALL'S 148TH" in Psalms for All Seasons John Darwall (b. Haughton, Staffordshire, England, 1731; d. Walsall, Staffordshire, England, 1789) The son of a pastor, he attended Manchester Grammar School and Brasenose College, Oxford, England (1752-1756). He became the curate and later the vicar of St. Matthew's Parish Church in Walsall, where he remained until his death. Darwall was a poet and amateur musician. He composed a soprano tune and bass line for each of the 150 psalm versifications in the Tate and Brady New Version of the Psalms of David (l696). In an organ dedication speech in 1773 Darwall advocated singing the "Psalm tunes in quicker time than common [in order that] six verses might be sung in the same space of time that four generally are."

William F. Sherwin
1826 - 1888 Person Name: William F. Sherwin, 1826-1888 Topics: Ten Commandments 3rd Commandment (do not take the name of the Lord in vain) Composer of "EVENING PRAISE" in Psalms for All Seasons Sherwin, William Fisk, an American Baptist, was born at Buckland, Massachusetts, March 14,1826. His educational opportunities, so far as schools were concerned, were few, but he made excellent use of his time and surroundings. At fifteen he went to Boston and studied music under Dr. Mason: In due course he became a teacher of vocal music, and held several important appointments in Massachusetts; in Hudson and Albany, New York County, and then in New York City. Taking special interest in Sunday Schools, he composed carols and hymn-tunes largely for their use, and was associated with the Rev. R. Lowry and others in preparing Bright Jewels, and other popular Sunday School hymn and tune books. A few of his melodies are known in Great Britain through I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos, where they are given with his signature. His hymnwriting was limited. The following pieces are in common use:—
1. Grander than ocean's story (1871). The Love of God.
2. Hark, bark, the merry Christmas bells. Christmas Carol.
3. Lo, the day of God is breaking. The Spiritual Warfare.
4. Wake the song of joy and gladness. Sunday School or Temperance Anniversary.
5. Why is thy faith, 0 Child of God, so small. Safety in Jesus.
Mr. Sherwin died at Boston, Massachusetts, April 14, 1888.
