BEQUEATHED BY HIM TO THE LIBRARY OF PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY Section 30W^ / A Treasure of Hymns Brief Biographies of One Hundred and Twenty Leading Hymn-Writers with Their Best Hymns By ^y AMOS R. WELLS BOSTON AND CHICAGO UNITED SOCIETY OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR Copyrighted, 19 14, by the United Society of Christian Endeavor Preface. FOR ten years it has been my pleasure to write articles on the leading hymns and hymn- writers for The Christian Endeavor Worlds one a month. These hymns were suggested as memory hymns for the Christian Endeavor societies, the hymns to be sung from memory in the meetings, and the facts regarding their writers to be stated to the young people. The considerable amount of hymn lore thus collected is here presented in per- manent form for the use of pastors, church workers, young people's societies, and all lovers of hymns. No claim is made to originality ; only a few of these chapters consist of material here presented for the first time ; most of the book is collected from a large number of volumes. The usefulness of the book will spring from the wide range of hymn literature which has been examined, the most inter- esting and inspiring facts being collated for this volume. A knowledge of the authors of our hymns, and of the stirring incidents connected with the use of them, cannot fail to make the hymns more pre- cious to every Christian. The one hundred and twenty hymn-writers here treated include the greatest of these poets, and many of the lesser writers. In each case all their most im- 4 Preface portant hymns are named, while one hymn, usually the most famous and beloved, is selected for printing in full. I can have no happier wish for this book than that it may bring the same pleasure and profit to its readers that the writing of it has brought to me. Amos R. Wells. Boston, Mass, Contents.

THIS, one of the greatest of hymns, was written by Edward Perronet, and is the one thing that has kept his name green in the earth. Nevertheless, Perronet was a man worth knowing about, quite apart from his magnificent hymn. He was descended from French Protestants, and his father was an English clergyman who joined the Wesleys in carrying on their great revival of religion. His son Edward also became a clergyman, and for a time labored with the Wesleys. Charles Wesley writes of his boldness in preaching. At one time he and Perronet were beset in a house by a mob of rough revilers, whom Perronet opposed coura- geously, while they abused him and threw dirt on him. In his note-book, three years later, Charles Wesley speaks of a journey he made to London, with his brother John and with Perronet. ** We were in perils of robbers, who were abroad, and had robbed many the night before," writes Wesley. But, he stoutly adds, ** We commended ourselves to God, and rode over the heath singing." What a scene that must have been I John Wesley wanted to hear Perronet preach, and Perronet, for some reason, would not preach before 13 ; — 14 A Treasure of Hymns Wesley. One day Wesley, seeing Perronet in the congregation, announced that he would preach the next morning. Perronet did not want to make a scene, so the next morning he mounted the pulpit, explained that he had not consented to preach and felt that he could not, but nevertheless he would give them the best sermon that had ever been delivered. Thereupon he opened the Bible, and read the Ser- mon on the Mount from beginning to end, and with- out a word of comment. A song and prayer finished the service. After eight years of co-operation with the Wesleys, Perronet left them, disagreeing with some of their regulations. They continued, however, to esteem and love each other. The last years of Perronet were spent at Canter- bury, where he was pastor of an independent church, and where he died in 1792, at the age of sixty-six. He published three volumes of religious poems, one being made up of versified Scripture. Some of these poems deserve to be widely used, as, for instance, the hymn containing the stanza : " O grant me, Lord, that sweet content That sweetens every state Which no internal fears can rent, Nor outward foes abate." None of Perronet's poems, however, have attained fame except the immortal **A11 hail the power of Jesus' name." It was written in 1779, and was first printed, in 1 780, in The Gospel Magazine. The poet ;; !! — All Hail the Power of Jesus* Name 15 gave it the title, *' On the Resurrection," and as he wrote it, there were eight stanzas, as follows : All hail the power of Jesus' name, Let angels prostrate fall Bring forth the royal diadem, To crown Him Lord of all 1 Let high born seraphs tune the lyre, And, as they tune it, fall Before His face who tunes their choir.

  • John Ogilvie: the Smoke and Mirrors of Confessional Politics
    journal of jesuit studies 7 (2020) 34-46 brill.com/jjs John Ogilvie: The Smoke and Mirrors of Confessional Politics Allan I. Macinnes University of Strathclyde [email protected] Abstract The trial and execution of the Jesuit John Ogilvie in 1615 is located within diverse political contexts—Reformation and Counter-Reformation; British state formation; and the contested control of the Scottish Kirk between episcopacy and Presbyterian- ism. The endeavors of James vi and i to promote his ius imperium by land and sea did not convert the union of the crowns into a parliamentary union. However, he pressed ahead with British policies to civilize frontiers, colonize overseas and engage in war and diplomacy. Integral to his desire not to be beholden to any foreign power was his promotion of religious uniformity which resulted in a Presbyterian backlash against episcopacy. At the same time, the Scottish bishops sought to present a united Protes- tant front by implementing penal laws against Roman Catholic priests and laity, which led to Ogilvie being charged with treason for upholding the spiritual supremacy of the papacy over King James. Ogilvie’s martyrdom may stand in isolation, but it served to reinvigorate the Catholic mission to Scotland. Keywords British state formation – ius imperium – penal laws – recusancy – Presbyterians – episcopacy – lingering Catholicism – treason 1 Introduction Constant harassment by the Protestant Kirk in the wake of the Reformation, reinforced by threats of civil sanctions against regular clergy, practicing Ro- man Catholics and those who aided them, certainly restricted the scope for © Allan I.

  • The Enthronement of the 56Th Bishop of Bristol
    The Enthronement of THE RIGHT REV EREND VIVIENNE FAULL th The 56 Bishop of Bristol in her Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, Bristol THE SERVICE AT WHICH THE NEW BISHOP IS WELCOMED INTO THE DIOCESE Saturday 20 October, 2018, 2.30pm THE DEAN’S WELCOME Welcome to your Cathedral Church. The first Bishop of Bristol, Paul Bush, was consecrated on 25 June 1542 and came to a monastery that had been deserted for two years, newly made a Cathedral. The demands of city and diocese were too much for a reclusive scholar and he quickly withdrew to his manor at Abbots Leigh. At her consecration, Bishop Viv was reminded that bishops lead us, knowing their people and being known by them. Before this service began she was met in the heart of the city by its people. In this service you will hear again and again +Viv’s resolution to be servant of diocese and city and to be with us. Successive bishops have been great friends and supporters of their Cathedral Church. Robert Wright raised huge sums for repairs and a new organ in 1630. At other times, the relationship between bishop and Cathedral has been more difficult. In the eighteenth century Bishop Newton despaired of his absent dean. Today, we rejoice in the fact that the Cathedral is the Bishop’s Church. When +Viv knocks, three times, at the great west door and waits for entry, we will act out the fact that she recognises the Cathedral has a life and ministry of its own and yet is also hers.

  • Episcopal Tombs in Early Modern England
    Jnl of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 55, No. 4, October 2004. f 2004 Cambridge University Press 654 DOI: 10.1017/S0022046904001502 Printed in the United Kingdom Episcopal Tombs in Early Modern England by PETER SHERLOCK The Reformation simultaneously transformed the identity and role of bishops in the Church of England, and the function of monuments to the dead. This article considers the extent to which tombs of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century bishops represented a set of episcopal ideals distinct from those conveyed by the monuments of earlier bishops on the one hand and contemporary laity and clergy on the other. It argues that in death bishops were increasingly undifferentiated from other groups such as the gentry in the dress, posture, location and inscriptions of their monuments. As a result of the inherent tension between tradition and reform which surrounded both bishops and tombs, episcopal monuments were unsuccessful as a means of enhancing the status or preserving the memory and teachings of their subjects in the wake of the Reformation. etween 1400 and 1700, some 466 bishops held office in England and Wales, for anything from a few months to several decades.1 The B majority died peacefully in their beds, some fading into relative obscurity. Others, such as Richard Scrope, Thomas Cranmer and William Laud, were executed for treason or burned for heresy in one reign yet became revered as saints, heroes or martyrs in another. Throughout these three centuries bishops played key roles in the politics of both Church and PRO=Public Record Office; TNA=The National Archives I would like to thank Craig D’Alton, Felicity Heal, Clive Holmes, Ralph Houlbrooke, Judith Maltby, Keith Thomas and the anonymous reader for this JOURNAL for their comments on this article.
