O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 1,239 hymnals Topics: Authority of God Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home. 2 Beneath the shadow of your throne Your saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is your arm alone, And our defence is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received its frame, From everlasting you are God, To endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in your sight Are like an ev'ening gone, Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. 5 Time, like an ever rolling stream, Bears all our lives away; They fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the op'ning day. 6 O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be now our guide while life shall last, And our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:17 Used With Tune: ST. DENIO

Felice Giardini

1716 - 1796 Person Name: Felice de Giardini, 1716-1796 Topics: Authority of God Composer of "MOSCOW" in Catholic Book of Worship III Felice Giardini, born in Italy. When young, he studied singing, harpsichord, and violin. He became a composer and violin virtuoso. By age 12 he was playing in theatre orchestras. His most instructive lesson: While playing a solo passage during an opera, he decided to show off his skills by improvising several bravura variations that the composer, Jommelli, had not written . Although the audience applauded loudly, Jomelli, who happened to be there, went up and slapped Giardini in the face. He learned a lesson from that. He toured Europe as a violinist, considered one of the greatest musical artists of his time. He served as orchestra leader and director of the Italian Opera in London, giving concerts. He tried to run a theatre in Naples, but encountered adversity. He went to Russia, but had little fortune there, where he died. John Perry
