Liberality; or, the duty and pleasures of benevolence

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXLVI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Benevolence a duty and pleasure First Line: O what stupendous mercy shines Lyrics: 1 O what stupendous mercy shines Around the majesty of heaven! Rebels he deigns to call his sons, Their souls renew'd their sins forgiven. 2 Go, imitate the grace divine, The grace that blazes like a sun; Hold forth your fair, tho' feeble light, Thro' all your lives let mercy run: 3 Upon your bounty's willing wings Swift let the great salvation fly; The hungry feed, the naked clothe, To pain and sickness help apply. 4 Pity the weeping widow's woe, And be her counsellor and stay; Adopt the fatherless, and smooth The useful, happy life his way. 5 Let age with want and weakness bow'd, Your bowels of compassion move; Let e'en your enemies be blest, Their hatred recompens'd with love. 6 When all is done, renounce your deeds, Renounce self-righteousness with scorn; Thus will you glorify your God, And thus the christian name adorn.

Lord, Thou lov'st the cheerful giver

Author: Robert Murray, 1832-1910 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #645 (1917) Topics: Benevolence Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou lov'st the cheerful giver, Who with open heart and hand Blesses freely, as a river That refreshes all the land. Grant us then the grace of giving With a spirit large and free, That our life and all our giving We may consecrate to Thee. 2 We are Thine, Thy mercy sought us, Found us in death's dreadful way, To the fold in safety brought us, Never more from Thee to stray. Thine own life Thou freely gavest As an offering on the cross For each sinner whom Thou savest From eternal shame and loss. 3 Blest by Thee with gifts and graces, May we heed Thy Church's call; Gladly in all times and places Give to Thee who givest all. Thou hast bought us, and no longer Can we claim to be our own; Ever free and ever stronger, We shall serve Thee, Lord, alone. 4 Saviour, Thou hast freely given All the blessings we enjoy, Earthly store and bread of heaven, Love and peace without alloy; Humbly now we bow before Thee, And our all to Thee resign; For the kingdom, power, and glory, Are, O Lord, for ever Thine.

Folliott Sandford Pierpoint

1835 - 1917 Person Name: Folliett S. Pierpoint Topics: God Benevolence; God Benevolence Author of "Gratitude" in Laudes Domini In the spring of 1863, Folliott S. Pierpoint (b. Bath, Somerset, England, 1835; d. Newport, Monmouthshire, England, 1917) sat on a hilltop outside his native city of Bath, England, admiring the country view and the winding Avon River. Inspired by the view to think about God's gifts in creation and in the church, Pierpont wrote this text. Pierpont was educated at Queen's College, Cambridge, England, and periodically taught classics at Somersetshire College. But because he had received an inheritance, he did not need a regular teaching position and could afford the leisure of personal study and writing. His three volumes of poetry were collected in 1878; he contributed hymns to The Hymnal Noted (1852) and Lyra Eucharistica (1864). "For the Beauty of the Earth" is the only Pierpont hymn still sung today. Bert Polman ================== Pierpoint, Folliott Sandford, M.A., son of William Home Pierpoint of Bath, was born at Spa Villa, Bath, Oct. 7, 1835, and educated at Queen's College, Cambridge, graduating in classical honours in 1871. He has published The Chalice of Nature and Other Poems, Bath, N.D. This was republished in 1878 as Songs of Love, The Chalice of Nature, and Lyra Jesu. He also contributed hymns to the Churchman's Companion (London Masters), the Lyra Eucharistica, &c. His hymn on the Cross, "0 Cross, O Cross of shame," appeared in both these works. He is most widely known through:— "For the beauty of the earth." Holy Communion, or Flower Service. This was contributed to the 2nd edition of Orby Shipley's Lyra Eucharistica, 1864, in 8 stanzas of 6 lines, as a hymn to be sung at the celebration of Holy Communion. In this form it is not usually found, but in 4, or sometimes in 5, stanzas, it is extensively used for Flower Services and as a Children's hymn. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
