Blest Be the Man that Fears Jehovah
Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Special Occasions The Family First Line: Blest the man that fears Jehovah Lyrics: 1. Blest the man that fears Jehovah,
Walking ever in his ways;
By thy toil thou shalt be prospered
And be happy all thy days.
2. In thy wife thou shalt have gladness,
She shall fill thy home with good,
Happy in her loving service
And the joys of motherhood.
3. Joyful children, sons and daughters,
Shall about thy table meet,
Olive plants, in strength and beauty,
Full of hope and promise sweet.
4. Lo, on him that fears Jehovah
Shall this blessedness attend,
For Jehovan out of Zion
Shall to thee His blessing send.
5. Thou shalt see God's kingdom prosper
All thy days, till life shall cease,
Thou shalt see thy children's children;
On Thy people, Lord, be peace.

All Things Are Thine
Author: Anon. Appears in 92 hymnals Topics: Special Occasions Dedication of Church; Special Occasions Dedication of Church First Line: All things are thine: no gift have we Lyrics: 1 All things are thine; no gift have we,
Lord of all gifts! to offer thee;
And hence, with grateful hearts to-day,
Thine own, before thy feet we lay.
2 Thy will was in the builders' tho't;
Thy hand unseen amidst us wrought;
Thro' mortal motive, scheme, and plan,
Thy wise, eternal purpose ran.
3 No lack thy perfect fulness knew;
For human needs and longings grew
This house of prayer this home of rest
Here may thy saints be often blest.
4 O Father! deign these walls to bless,
Make this th' abode of righteousness,
And let these doors a gateway be
To lead us from ourselves to thee.

In Sweet Communion
Author: E. Denny Hymnal: Christ in Song #462 (1908) Topics: Special Occasions Lord's Supper; Special Occasions Lord's Supper; Special Occasions Lord's Supper First Line: While in sweet communion feeding Lyrics: 1 While in sweet communion feeding
On this earthly bread and wine,
Saviour, may we see thee bleeding
On the cross, to make us thine.
Tho' unseen, Lord, thou art near us,
With thy still small voice of love;
Whisper words of peace to cheer us,
Ev'ry doubt and fear remove.
2 Bring before us all the story
Of thy life, and death of woe;
And, with hopes of endless glory,
Wean our hearts from all below.
Draw us nearer and still nearer
To thy pierc'd and bleeding side,
Till our view of self grows clearer
In the light of Him who died.

Brightest and Best
Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: Christ in Song #277 (1908) Topics: Special Occasions Christmas; Special Occasions Christmas First Line: Brightest and best of the sons of the morning Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness, and lend us Thine aid;
Star of the East, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining;
Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall;
Angels adore Him, in slumber reclining.
Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all.
3 Tho' we should yield Him, in costly devotion,
Odors of Edom and off'rings divine,
Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine,
4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
Vainly with gifts would His favor secure;
Richer by far is the heart's adoration,
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. Languages: English Tune Title: LELA

And bow in penitence beneath Thy feet;
Again to Thee our grateful voices raise,
To sue for mercy, and to sing Thy praise.
2 O we would bless Thee for Thy ceaseless care,
And all Thy love from day to day declare!
Is not our life with hourly mercies crowned?
Does not Thine arm encircle us around?
3 Alas! unworthy of Thy boundless love,
Too oft with careless feet from Thee we rove;
But now encouraged by Thy voice, we come,
Returning sinners, to a Father's home. Amen.
4 O by that name in which all fullness dwells,
O by that love which ev'ry love excels,
O by that blood so freely shed for sin,
Open blest Mercy's gate, and take us in. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: PAX DEI

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Person Name: J. B. Dykes Topics: Special Occasions Reunion; Special Occasions Reunion Composer of "PAX DEI" in Christ in Song As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern.

Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Topics: Special Occasions Dedication of Church; Special Occasions Dedication of Church Author of "All Things Are Thine" in Christ in Song In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
