Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
Author: William Williams, 1717-1791; Peter Williams Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,822 hymnals Topics: God Jehovah Lyrics: 1 Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
hold me with thy pow'rful hand;
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,
feed me till I want no more,
feed me till I want no more.
2 Open now the crystal fountain,
whence the healing stream doth flow;
let the fire and cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through;
strong Deliv'rer, strong Deliv'rer,
be thou still my strength and shield,
be thou still my strength and shield.
3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,
bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of death, and hell's Destruction,
land me safe on Canaan's side;
songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to thee,
I will ever give to thee.

The God of Abraham praise
Author: T. Olivers, 1725-1799 Appears in 454 hymnals Topics: Jehovah Lyrics: 1. The God of Abraham praise,
Who reigns enthroned above,
Ancient of everlasting days,
And God of Love:
Jehovah, Great I Am,
By earth and heaven confest;
I bow and bless the sacred name,
For ever blest.
2. The God of Abraham praise,
At whose supreme command
From earth I rise, and seek the joys
At His right hand:
I all on earth forsake,
Its wisdom, fame, and power;
And Him my only portion make,
My shield and tower
3. The God of Abraham praise,
Whose all-sufficient grace
Shall guide me all my happy days,
In all my ways.
He calls e'en me His friend,
He calls Himself my God,
And He shall save me to the end,
Through Jesus' blood.
4. He by Himself hath sworn,
I on His oath depend;
I shall, on eagles' wings upborne,
To heaven ascend:
I shall behold His face,
I shall His power adore,
And sing the wonders of His grace
For evermore.

The God of Abraham praise
The Lord Jehovah reigns
Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 267 hymnals Topics: Jehovah Lyrics: 1 The Lord Jehovah reigns,
His throne is built on high;
The garments He assumes
Are light and majesty:
His glories shine with beams so bright,
No mortal eye can bear the sight.
2 The thunders of His hand
Keep the wide world in awe;
His wrath and justice stand
To guard His holy law;
And where His love resolves to bless,
His truth confirms and seals the grace.
3 Through all His mighty works
Amazing wisdom shines;
Confounds the powers of hell,
And breaks their dark designs;
Strong is His arm and shall fulfil
His great decrees and sovereign will.
4 And will this sovereign King
Of glory condescend?
And will He write His name,
My Father and my Friend?
I love His name, I love His word:
Join all my powers to praise the Lord! Used With Tune: ST. GODRIC

John Douglas Sutherland Campbell, Duke of Argyll
1845 - 1914 Person Name: John, Duke of Argyll, 1845-1914 Topics: God Jehovah Author of "Unto the hills around do I lift up" in The Book of Praise John George Henry Douglas Sutherland Campbell LLD [Duke of Argyll] United Kingdom 1845-1914. Born in London to George Campbell, Marques of Lorne, and styled Earl of Campbell from birth, he assumed his father's title at the age of 21 months, when his father became 8th Duke of Argyll. He bore that title until age 54. Educated at Edinburgh, Eton College, St. Andrews and at Trinity College, Cambridge, he also went to the National Art Training School. He traveled widely for 10 years throughout North and Central America, writing literature and poetry. In the UK, from 1868, he represented the constituency of Argyllshire as a Liberal member of Parliament in the House of Commons. He made little impression there. He was appointed Lt. Col. Commandant of the 1st Argyll & Bute Artillary Volunteers. He married Queen Victoria's 4th daughter, Princess Louise. They shared interest for art, but the marriage was childless and unhappy, and they spent much time apart.
At 33, he was appointed Governor General of Canada. He and Louise made many contributions to Canadian society, especially in the arts and sciences. They encouraged establishment of the Royal Society of Canada, the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, and the National Gallery of Canada, even selecting some of its paintings. Campbell was also involved in completion of the Canadain Pacific Railway and a hospital in British Columbia. He and his wife held lavish parties while in Canada. In 1881, Louise returned to England, and the Lord also in 1883, when he published his memoirs of Canada and Scotland. He was Governor and Constable of Windsor Castle from 1892 to 1914. He died of pneumonia in 1914. He received 4 Knightings and 4 special honors for his accomplishments. Towns, buildings, streets and parks were named for him.

Nahum Tate
1652 - 1715 Person Name: Tate Topics: Praise to the great Jehovah Author of "Be thou, O God, exalted high" in Hymns for Christian Devotion Nahum Tate was born in Dublin and graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1672. He lacked great talent but wrote much for the stage, adapting other men's work, really successful only in a version of King Lear. Although he collaborated with Dryden on several occasions, he was never fully in step with the intellectual life of his times, and spent most of his life in a futile pursuit of popular favor. Nonetheless, he was appointed poet laureate in 1692 and royal historiographer in 1702. He is now known only for the New Version of the Psalms of David, 1696, which he produced in collaboration with Nicholas Brady. Poverty stricken throughout much of his life, he died in the Mint at Southwark, where he had taken refuge from his creditors, on August 12, 1715.

Thomas Olivers
1725 - 1799 Topics: God Jehovah Author of "The God of Abraham Praise" in Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) Thomas Olivers was born in Tregonan, Montgomeryshire, in 1725. His youth was one of profligacy, but under the ministry of Whitefield, he was led to a change of life. He was for a time apprenticed to a shoemaker, and followed his trade in several places. In 1763, John Wesley engaged him as an assistant; and for twenty-five years he performed the duties of an itinerant ministry. During the latter portion of his life he was dependent on a pension granted him by the Wesleyan Conference. He died in 1799.
--Annotations of the Hymnal, Charles Hutchins, M.A., 1872.
==================
Olivers, Thomas, was born at Tregynon, near Newtown, Montgomeryshire, in 1725. His father's death, when the son was only four years of age, followed by that of the mother shortly afterwards, caused him to be passed on to the care of one relative after another, by whom he was brought up in a somewhat careless manner, and with little education. He was apprenticed to a shoemaker. His youth was one of great ungodliness, through which at the age of 18 he was compelled to leave his native place. He journeyed to Shrewsbury, Wrexham, and Bristol, miserably poor and very wretched. At Bristol he heard G. Whitefield preach from the text "Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?" That sermon turned the whole current of his life, and he became a decided Christian. His intention at the first was to join the followers of Whitefield, but being discouraged from doing so by one of Whitefield's preachers, he subsequently joined the Methodist Society at Bradford-on-Avon. At that town, where he purposed carrying on his business of shoemaking, he met John Wesley, who, recognising in him both ability and zeal, engaged him as one of his preachers. Olivers joined Wesley at once, and proceeded as an evangelist to Cornwall. This was on Oct. 1, 1753. He continued his work till his death, which took place suddenly in London, in March 1799. He was buried in Wesley's tomb in the City Road Chapel burying ground, London. Olivers was for some time co-editor with J. Wesley of the Arminian Magazine, but his lack of education unfitted him for the work. As the author of the tune Helmsley, and of the hymn “The God of Abraham praise," he is widely known. He also wrote “Come Immortal King of glory;" and "O Thou God of my salvation," whilst residing at Chester; and an Elegy on the death of John Wesley. His hymns and the Elegy were reprinted (with a Memoir by the Rev. J. Kirk) by D. Sedgwick, in 1868.
