Hymns of Our Time Volume VI includes hymns which were either written, or achieved their greatest popularity, during the twentieth century, and a historical backdrop to this era is, therefore, featured in the book. It was a time of huge technological and scientific advancement, and (what is less well-known) was accompanied by a veritable explosion of hymn-writing. The hymn-writers in this volume range from Frances van Alstyne (born in 1820) to Graham Kendrick (born in 1950), and include: Arthur Campbell Ainger; Geoffrey Ainger; Albert Frederick Bayly; Sydney Bertram Carter; Timothy Dudley-Smith; William Arthur Dunkerley (John Oxenham); Eleanor Farjeon; Les Garrett; Fred Pratt Green; Stuart K. Hine; Eleanor Hull; Fred Kaan; Graham Kendrick; Joyce Placzek (Jan Struther); Francis Harold Rowley; Frances Jane van Alstyne (Fanny Crosby); Johann Sebastian von Tempelhoff (Sebastian Temple) Their hymns, which have withstood the test of time in what appears to be an increasingly secular society, are: Be Thou my vision *** Blessèd assurance, Jesus is mine Born in the night, Mary’s child *** For the fruits of his creation For the healing of the nations *** From heaven You came, helpless babe God is working His purpose out, as year succeeds to year Help us accept each other *** I danced in the morning I will sing the wondrous story *** In Christ there is no east or west In the beginning: God! *** Let us talents and tongues employ Lord, for the years your love has kept and guided Lord of all hopefulness *** Make me a channel of Your peace Morning has broken *** O Lord my God! when I in awesome wonder Praise and thanksgiving *** Put peace into each other’s hands Tell out, my soul *** Thank you, O God, for the time that is now The church is like a table *** This is the day that the Lord has made To show by touch and word *** Tomorrow Christ is coming Were the world to end tomorrow *** When, in our music, God is glorified In this sixth volume of the series, we are most fortunate in having the Prologue contributed by The Revd. Dr. Fred Kaan - the well-known hymn-writer - and a Supplement of some of his much-loved hymns. |
