Let him to whom we now belong
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88; Alfred Harold Wood, 1896-1989 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 125 hymnals Topics: Consummation in Christ Lyrics: 1 Let him to whom we now belong
his sovereign right assert,
and take up every thankful song
and every loving heart.
2 He justly claims us for his own,
who bought us with a price:
as Christian live to Christ alone,
to Christ alone we die.
3 We come in deep humility
your easy yoke to prove,
and own it perfect liberty
to serve the Lord we love.
4 Jesus, your own at last receive,
fulfil our hearts’ desire;
and let us to thy glory live
and in thy cause expire.
5 Our souls and bodies we resign;
with joy we render thee
our all, no longer ours, but Thine,
to all eternity.

Let him to whom we now belong
Stand up, stand up for Jesus
Author: George Duffield, 1818-88 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1,788 hymnals Topics: Consummation in Christ; Consummation in Christ Lyrics: 1 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
as soldiers of the cross;
lift high his royal banner,
it must not suffer loss;
from victory on to victory
his army he shall lead,
till every foe is vanquished
and Christ is Lord indeed.
2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the trumpet call obey;
forth to the mighty conflict
in this his glorious day!
All Christians true now serve him
against unnumbered foes;
let courage rise with danger,
and strength to strength oppose.
3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
stand in his strength alone;
the arm of flesh will fail you,
you dare not trust your own.
Put on the gospel armour,
each piece put on with prayer;
where duty calls, or danger
be never wanting there.
4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the strife will not be long;
this day the noise of battle,
the next the triumph song.
To those who are victorious
a crown of life shall be;
they with the King of Glory
shall reign eternally. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:25-28 Used With Tune: MORNING LIGHT

comes to save a fallen race,
object of our glorious hope,
Jesus comes to lift us up.

praise we all our lowly King,
give him thanks, rejoice and sing.
3 He has our salvation wrought,
he our captive souls has bought,
he has reconciled to God,
he has washed us in his blood.
4 We are now his lawful right,
walk as children of the light;
we shall soon obtain the grace,
pure in heart, to see his face.
5 We shall gain our calling's prize;
after God we all shall rise,
filled with joy, and love, and peace,
perfected in holiness. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:1-8 Used With Tune: ORIENTIS PARTIBUS

Felice Giardini
1716 - 1796 Person Name: Felice Giardini, 1716-96 Topics: Consummation in Christ Composer of "MOSCOW" in Together in Song 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.

Bianco da Siena
1350 - 1434 Person Name: Bianco de Siena, d. 1434 Topics: Consummation in Christ Author of "Come down, O Love divine" in Together in Song Bianco da Siena (b. Anciolina, circa 1350; d. Venice, Italy, circa 1434), an Italian poet and wool worker who was born at Anciolina, in the Val d'Arno. In 1367 he entered the Order of Jesuates, consisting of unordained men who followed the rule of St. Augustine. This order was instituted in that year by one John Colombinus of Siena, and suppressed by Pope Clement IX, possibly because of fear of not being able to control their mystical fervor. Little is known of Bianco beyond the fact that he is said to have lived in Venice for some years, and died there in 1434. His hymns were published at Lucca, in 1851, and edited by T. Bini, under the title, Laudi spirituali del Bianco da Siena.

Bianco da Siena, born at Anciolina, in the Val d'Arno, date unknown. In 1367 he entered the Order of Jesuates, consisting of unordained men who followed the rule of St. Augustine. This order was instituted in that year by one John Colombinus of Siena, and suppressed by Pope Clement IX. in 1668. Little is known of Bianco beyond the fact that he is said to have lived in Venice for some years, and died there in 1434. His hymns were published at Lucca, in 1851, and edited by T. Bini, under the title, Laudi spirituali del Bianco da Siena. This work contains 92 pieces. Of these the following have been translated into English, and have come into common use:—
1. Discendi, Amor santo. The Holy Spirit desired. This is No. 35 in the above work and is in 8 stanzas. Of these, Dr. Littledale gave 4 in the People's Hymnal, 1867, No. 473, as, "Come down, 0 Love Divine."
2. Gesil Christo amoroso. Missions. This is No. 79 of the above wdrk. It has been rendered into English by Dr. Littledale, and was published in the People's Hymnal, 1867, No. 400, as, "0 Jesu Christ, the loving.”
3. Vergine santa, sposa dell’ Agnello. St. Lucy. V. M . This is also from the foregoing work, No. 74, in 15 stanzas of 3 lines. Dr. Littledale's translation in the People's Hymnal, 1867, No. 226, is in 7 stanzas of 4 lines, and begins, "0 Virgin Spouse of Christ the Lamb."
4. Ama Jesu el tuo sposo diletto. Love for Jesus . This is No. 45 in the above work, in 33 stanzas. In 1866 Dr. Littledale contributed a cento therefrom to R. Brett's Office of the Moat Holy Name. This was transferred to Brooke's Churchman's Manual of Private & Family Devotion, 1882. It begins, "Love Jesus, Who hath sought thee so."
Although the translations Nos. 1-3 have not gone any further than the People's Hymnal, Nos. 1 and 2 are worthy of more extended use. [Rev. John Julian, D.D.]

Ray Palmer
1808 - 1887 Person Name: Ray Palmer, 1808-87 Topics: Consummation in Christ Translator of "Lord Jesus, joy of loving hearts" in Together in Song Ray Palmer (b. Little Compton, RI, 1808; d. Newark, NJ, 1887) is often considered to be one of America's best nineteenth-century hymn writers. After completing grammar school he worked in a Boston dry goods store, but a religious awakening prodded him to study for the ministry. He attended Yale College (supporting himself by teaching) and was ordained in 1835. A pastor in Congregational churches in Bath, Maine (1835-1850), and Albany, New York (1850-1865), he also served as secretary of the American Congregational Union (1865-1878). Palmer was a popular preacher and author, writing original poetry as well as translating hymns. He published several volumes of poetry and hymns, including Sabbath Hymn Book (1858), Hymns and Sacred Pieces (1865), and Hymns of My Holy Hours (1868). His complete poetical works were published in 1876.
Bert Polman
===================
Palmer, Ray, D.D., son of the Hon. Thomas Palmer, a Judge in Rhode Island, was born at Little Compton, Rhode Island, Nov. 12, 1808. His early life was spent at Boston, where he was for some time clerk in a dry-goods store. At Boston he joined the Park Street Congregational Church, then under the pastoral care of Dr. S. E. Dwight. After spending three years at Phillips Academy, Andover, he entered Yale College, New Haven, where he graduated in 1830. In 1835 he became pastor of the Central Congregational Church, Bath, Maine. During his pastorate there he visited Europe in 1847. In 1850 he was appointed to the First Congregational Church, at Albany, New York, and in 1865 Corresponding Secretary to the American Congregational Union, New York. He resigned in 1878, and retired to Newark, New Jersey. He died at Newark, Mar. 29, 1887. Dr. Palmer's published works in prose and verse include:--
(1) Memoirs and Select Remains of Charles Pond, 1829; (2) The Spirit's Life, a Poem, 1837; (3) How to Live, or Memoirs of Mrs. C. L. Watson, 1839; (4) Doctrinal Text Book, 1839; (5) Spiritual Improvement, 1839, republished as Closet Hours in 185; (6) What is Truth? or Hints on the Formation of Religious Opinions, 1860; (7) Remember Me, or The Holy Communion, 1865; (8) Hymns and Sacred Pieces, with Miscellaneous Poems, 1865; (9) Hymns of my Holy Hours, and Other Pieces, 1868; (10) Home, or the Unlost Paradise, 1873; and (11) Voices of Hope and Gladness, 1881.
Most of Dr. Palmer's hymns have passed into congregational use, and have won great acceptance. The best of them by their combination of thought, poetry, and devotion, are superior to almost all others of American origin. The first which he wrote has become the most widely known of all. It is:—
1. My faith looks up to Thee. Faith in Christ. This hymn was written by the author when fresh from College, and during an engagement in teaching in New York. This was in 1830. The author says concerning its composition, "I gave form to what I felt, by writing, with little effort, the stanzas. I recollect I wrote them with very tender emotion, and ended the last line with tears." A short time afterwards the hymn was given to Dr. Lowell Mason for use, if thought good, in a work then being compiled by him and Dr. T. Hastings. In 1831 that work was published as Spiritual Songs for Social Worship: adapted to the use of Families, &c. Words and Music arranged by Thomas Hastings, of New York, and Lowell Mason of Boston. It is No. 141 in 4 stanzas of 8 lines, entitled "Self Consecration," and accompanied with the tune by Dr. L. Mason, there given as "My faith looks up to Thee, "but subsequently known as Olivet. (Orig. text of hymn in Thring's Collection, 1882.) It has passed into most modern collections in all English-speaking countries, and has been rendered into numerous languages. That in Latin, by H. M. Macgill (p. 708, ii.), begins "Fides Te mea spectat."
2. Fount of everlasting love. Praise for renewed Spiritual Life. This also appeared in the Spiritual Songs, &c, 1831, No. 191, in 4 stanzas of 4 lines, and headed "Praise for a Revival."
The hymns which are given below are all in Dr. Palmer's Poetical Works, N. Y., 1876, and the dates appended in brackets are those given by him in that work.
3. Thou who roll'st the year around. (1832.) Close of the Year. In several American collections.
4. Away from earth my spirit turns. (1833.) Holy Communion. Appeared in Lowell Mason's Union Hymns, in 4 stanzas of 4 lines. In the Church Praise Book, N. Y.. 1882, it begins with st. ii., "Thou, Saviour, art the Living Bread."
5. Before Thy throne with tearful eyes. (1834.) Liberty of Faith.
6. Stealing from the world away. (1834.) Evening. Written at New Haven in 1834, and is very popular in America.
7. Thine [Thy] holy day's returning. (1834.) Sunday Morning.
8. Wake thee, 0 Zion. (1862.) Zion Exultant.
9. We stand in deep repentance. (1834.) Lent.
This last, No. 9, in common with Nos. 10, 11, 12, is marked "original," in the Presbyterian Parish Hymns, 1843. Probably they were given to the editors of that book in manuscript, and had not previously appeared.
10. And is there, Lord, a rest? (1843.) Rest in Heaven. Written at Bath, Maine, in 1843.
11. 0 sweetly breathe the lyres above. Consecration to Christ. This was accidentally omitted from Dr. Palmer's Poetical Works, 18?6. S. W. Duffield says:—
"It was written in the winter of 1842-43, at a time of revival. At the previous Communion several had been received under circumstances that made Doddridge's hymn, ‘0 happy day that fixed my choice 'a most appropriate selection. Not caring to repeat it, and needing something similar, Dr. Palmer composed the present hymn." English Hymns, N. Y., 1886, p. 432.
12. When downward to the darksome tomb. (1842.) Death Contemplated. Written at Bath, Maine, 1842.
From 1843 there comes a long break, and Dr. Palmer seems to have done no more hymn-writing until called upon by Professors Park and Phelps, of Andover, for contributions to their Sabbath Hymn-Book, 1858. His hymns written for that important collection rank amongst the best that America has produced. This is specially true of the first four (Nos. 13-16) from the Latin.
13. Jesus, Thou joy of loving hearts. (l858.) Translation of a cento from "Jesu dulcis memoria" (p. 588, ii.).
14. 0 Bread to Pilgrims given. (1858.) Translation of “O esca viatorum" (q.v.).
15. 0 Christ our King, Creator Lord. (1858.) Translation of “Rex Christe, factor omnium "
16. Come Holy Ghost, in love. (1858.) Translation of “Veni Sancte Spiritus" (q.v.)
17. Jesus, these eyes have never seen. (1858.) Christ loved, though unseen. This hymn is accounted by many as next in merit and beauty to "My faith looks up to Thee."
18. Lord, my weak thought in vain would climb. (1858.) God Unsearchable. This hymn deals with the mysteries of Predestination in a reverent and devout manner.
19. Thy Father's house! thine own bright home. (1858.) Heaven.
The next group, Nos. 20-27, appeared in Dr. Robinson's Songs for the Sanctuary, 1865.
20. Lord, Thou wilt bring the joyful day. (1864.) Contemplation of Heaven. Written in New York City.
21. Eternal Father, Thou hast said. (i860.) Missions.
22. Jesus, Lamb of God, for me. (1863.) Jesus, the Way of Salvation. Written in Albany, New York.
23. Take me, 0 my Father, take me. (1864.) Lent.
24. Wouldst thou eternal life obtain. (1864.) Good Friday.
25. Come Jesus, Redeemer, abide Thou with me. (1864.) Holy Communion.
26. Lord, Thou on earth didst love Thine own. (1864.) Fellowship with Christ.
27. Thou, Saviour, from Thy throne on high. (1864.) Prayer.
The next four (Nos. 28-31) present another group. They appeared in D. E. Jones's Songs for the New Life, 1869, and the Reformed Dutch Hymns of the Church, N. Y., 1869. The dates of composition are from Dr. Palmer's Poems, 1876.
28. Lord, Thou hast taught our hearts to glow. (1865.) Ordination, or Meeting of Ministers.
29. When inward turns my searching gaze. (1868.) Evening.
30. 0 Jesus, sweet the tears I shed. (1867.) Good Friday.
31. Jesus, this [my] heart within me burns. (1868.) Love.
The hymns which follow are from various sources.
32. 0 Christ, the Lord of heaven, to Thee. (1867.) Universal Praise to Christ. Appeared in the author's Hymns of my Holy Hours, 1867. It is a hymn of great merit, and is widely used.
33. Behold the shade of night is now receding. (1869.) A translation of "Ecce jam noctis." (p. 320, i., and Various).
34. Hid evening shadows let us all be waking. (1869.) A translation of "Nocte surgentes" (p. 809, i.).
35. I give my heart to Thee. (Aug. 20, 1868.) A translation of "Cor meum Tibi dedo," p. 262, ii.
36. Holy Ghost, that promised came. (1873.) Whitsuntide. From the author's Poems, 1876.
37. 0 Holy Comforter, I hear. The Comforter. Appeared in the Boston Congregationalist, September 7th, 1867.
38. Lord, when my soul her secrets doth reveal. (1865.) Holy Communion.
Most of the foregoing hymns are in common in Great Britain, and all are found in one or more American hymnbooks of importance. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]
