How Vast the Benefits Divine

Author: Rev. Augustus M. Toplady; Dewey Westra Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #379 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Divine Election Lyrics: 1 How vast the benefits divine, Which we in Christ possess! We are redeemed from sin and shame, And called to holiness. 'Tis not for works which we have done, These all to Him we owe; But He, of His electing love, Salvation doth bestow. 2 To Thee, O Lord, alone is due All glory and renown; Aught to ourselves we dare not take, Or rob Thee of Thy crown. Thou wast Thyself our Surety In God's redemption plan; In Thee His grace was give us, Long ere the world began. 3 Safe in the arms of sovereign love We ever shall remain; Nor shall the rage of earth or hell Make Thy sure counsel vain. Not one of all the chosen race But shall to heaven attain; Here they will share abounding grace, And there with Jesus reign. Languages: English Tune Title: SERAPH

In all earth's habitations, On all the boundless sea, Man finds no sure reliance, No peace, apart from Thee. Scripture: Psalm 65 Languages: English Tune Title: MENDEBRAS

Samuel Sebastian Wesley

1810 - 1876 Person Name: Samuel S. Wesley Topics: Divine Election Composer of "AURELIA" in Psalter Hymnal (Red) Samuel Sebastian Wesley (b. London, England, 1810; d. Gloucester, England, 1876) was an English organist and composer. The grandson of Charles Wesley, he was born in London, and sang in the choir of the Chapel Royal as a boy. He learned composition and organ from his father, Samuel, completed a doctorate in music at Oxford, and composed for piano, organ, and choir. He was organist at Hereford Cathedral (1832-1835), Exeter Cathedral (1835-1842), Leeds Parish Church (1842­-1849), Winchester Cathedral (1849-1865), and Gloucester Cathedral (1865-1876). Wesley strove to improve the standards of church music and the status of church musicians; his observations and plans for reform were published as A Few Words on Cathedral Music and the Music System of the Church (1849). He was the musical editor of Charles Kemble's A Selection of Psalms and Hymns (1864) and of the Wellburn Appendix of Original Hymns and Tunes (1875) but is best known as the compiler of The European Psalmist (1872), in which some 130 of the 733 hymn tunes were written by him.

Joseph Barnby

1838 - 1896 Topics: Divine Election Composer of "MERRIAL" in The Psalter Joseph Barnby (b. York, England, 1838; d. London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873). Bert Polman
