with many a conflict, many a doubt,
fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come.

sight, riches, healing of the mind,
yea, all I need, in thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come.

wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve:
because thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come.

has broken ev'ry barrier down,
now to be thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come.

the breadth, length, depth and height to prove,
here for a season, then above,

Penitence and hope
Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXXII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Penitence and hope First Line: Dear Savior, when my thoughts recall Lyrics: 1 Dear Savior, when my thoughts recall
The wonders of thy grace;
Low at thy feet asham'd I fall,
And hide this wretched face.
2 Shall love like thine be thus repaid?
Ah vile ungrateful heart!
By earth's low cares, detain'd, betray'd,
From Jesus to depart.
3 From Jesus who alone can give
True pleasure, peace, and rest:
When Absent from my Lord, I live
Unsatisfy'd unblest.
4 But he, for his own mercy's sake,
My wand'ring soul restores:
He bids the mourning heart partake
The pardon it implores.
5 O while I breathe to thee my Lord,
The penitential sigh,
Confirm the kind, forgiving word
With pity in thine eye!
6 Then shall the mourner at thy feet,
Rejoice to seek thy face;
And grateful own how kind! how sweet!
Thy condescending grace. Languages: English
Penitence and hope
George J. Elvey
1816 - 1893 Topics: Penitence Composer of "ST. CRISPIN" in The Hymnal of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America 1940 George Job Elvey (b. Canterbury, England, 1816; d. Windlesham, Surrey, England, 1893) As a young boy, Elvey was a chorister in Canterbury Cathedral. Living and studying with his brother Stephen, he was educated at Oxford and at the Royal Academy of Music. At age nineteen Elvey became organist and master of the boys' choir at St. George Chapel, Windsor, where he remained until his retirement in 1882. He was frequently called upon to provide music for royal ceremonies such as Princess Louise's wedding in 1871 (after which he was knighted). Elvey also composed hymn tunes, anthems, oratorios, and service music.

George Frideric Handel
1685 - 1759 Person Name: G. F. Handel Topics: The Christian Life Penitence and Confession Composer of "BRADFORD" in The Hymnal of Praise George Frideric Handel (b. Halle, Germany, 1685; d. London, England, 1759) became a musician and composer despite objections from his father, who wanted him to become a lawyer. Handel studied music with Zachau, organist at the Halle Cathedral, and became an accomplished violinist and keyboard performer. He traveled and studied in Italy for some time and then settled permanently in England in 1713. Although he wrote a large number of instrumental works, he is known mainly for his Italian operas, oratorios (including Messiah, 1741), various anthems for church and royal festivities, and organ concertos, which he interpolated into his oratorio performances. He composed only three hymn tunes, one of which (GOPSAL) still appears in some modern hymnals. A number of hymnal editors, including Lowell Mason, took themes from some of Handel's oratorios and turned them into hymn tunes; ANTIOCH is one example, long associated with “Joy to the World.”

Louis Bourgeois
1510 - 1561 Topics: Penitence Composer (melody) of "RENDEZ À DIEU" in Voices United Louis Bourgeois (b. Paris, France, c. 1510; d. Paris, 1561). In both his early and later years Bourgeois wrote French songs to entertain the rich, but in the history of church music he is known especially for his contribution to the Genevan Psalter. Apparently moving to Geneva in 1541, the same year John Calvin returned to Geneva from Strasbourg, Bourgeois served as cantor and master of the choristers at both St. Pierre and St. Gervais, which is to say he was music director there under the pastoral leadership of Calvin. Bourgeois used the choristers to teach the new psalm tunes to the congregation.
The extent of Bourgeois's involvement in the Genevan Psalter is a matter of scholarly debate. Calvin had published several partial psalters, including one in Strasbourg in 1539 and another in Geneva in 1542, with melodies by unknown composers. In 1551 another French psalter appeared in Geneva, Eighty-three Psalms of David, with texts by Marot and de Beze, and with most of the melodies by Bourgeois, who supplied thirty four original tunes and thirty-six revisions of older tunes. This edition was republished repeatedly, and later Bourgeois's tunes were incorporated into the complete Genevan Psalter (1562). However, his revision of some older tunes was not uniformly appreciated by those who were familiar with the original versions; he was actually imprisoned overnight for some of his musical arrangements but freed after Calvin's intervention. In addition to his contribution to the 1551 Psalter, Bourgeois produced a four-part harmonization of fifty psalms, published in Lyons (1547, enlarged 1554), and wrote a textbook on singing and sight-reading, La Droit Chemin de Musique (1550). He left Geneva in 1552 and lived in Lyons and Paris for the remainder of his life.
