Profession of Love to Christ

Author: Dr. St. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Graces of the Spirit Love to Christ First Line: And have I, Christ, no love to thee Lyrics: 1 And have I, Christ, no love to thee, No passion for thy charms? No wish my Savior's face to see, And dwell within his arms? 2 Is there no spark of gratitude In this cold heart of mine To him whose generous bosom glow'd With friendship all divine? 3 Can I pronounce his charming name, His acts of kindness tell; And, while I dwell upon the theme, No sweet emotion feel? 4 Such base ingratitude as this What heart but must detest! Sure Christ deserves the noblest place In every human breast. 5 A very wretch, Lord, I should prove Had I no love to thee: Rather than not my Savior love, O may I cease to be! Languages: English

Richard Redhead

1820 - 1901 Topics: Love to Christ Composer of "RAY" in Gloria Deo Richard Redhead (b. Harrow, Middlesex, England, 1820; d. Hellingley, Sussex, England, 1901) was a chorister at Magdalen College, Oxford. At age nineteen he was invited to become organist at Margaret Chapel (later All Saints Church), London. Greatly influencing the musical tradition of the church, he remained in that position for twenty-five years as organist and an excellent trainer of the boys' choirs. Redhead and the church's rector, Frederick Oakeley, were strongly committed to the Oxford Movement, which favored the introduction of Roman elements into Anglican worship. Together they produced the first Anglican plainsong psalter, Laudes Diurnae (1843). Redhead spent the latter part of his career as organist at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Paddington (1864-1894).
