So, I was an eager attendee at last week’s showing of the newest Luther movie, “Martin Luther - the Idea that Changed the World.” I believe we did it right. The movie was shown in a commercial theatre before a satisfying number of fellow members and friends. Especially pleasing was the “documentary style” in which the movie was As Lutherans, we are first subjects beyond just the Lutheran presented, interested in his teachings of the faith. featuring both live doctrine and practices of the a c t i o n , church. We want to learn about As I watched the Luther movie interspersed with the Small Catechism, the last week, I remembered the first comments by students of Luther Augsburg Confession, Luther’s two Luther films I saw, one and church historians of various contribution to the liturgy and twenty plus years ago, and the backgrounds.

This resulted in Luther’s we still devote our time and imprint on politics and other energy to celebrate the ASCENSION LUTHERAN REFLECTIONS - OCTOBER, 2017 3 Reformation as we are doing this year. This excites me even now. It makes me wonder…and even speculate…on how life was like during Luther’s time. Would it be fun to imitate the every-day behaviors and life-styles of medieval Germany? That’s exactly what the planning committee for our Renaissance-Reformation Festival on October 28 is planning for you. From the festival menu to the wearing The family of Martin Luther and of that era’s clothing styles to the Katherine von Bora included the activities of families for their education children: and entertainment, the committee wants to take you back into the 16th Century to sample life as Martin Luther lived it. You will find tasty and nourishing food served in a rather primitive way. There will be meat and potatoes to eat, beer and wine for adults to drink, apple cider and water for the kids - but you will not be burdened with 21st Century expectations.

  • Monday March 29 Psalm 103:1–12 - Praise My Soul the King of Heaven
    Monday March 29 Psalm 103:1–12 - Praise my soul the king of heaven 1 Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. 2 Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits— 3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, 5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. 6 The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. 7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel: 8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. 9 He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; 10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. “The best example … involves characteristic patterning and rhetoric, with suspension and inversion: it uses, as the metrical Psalms do, words in an unexpected order, but it does so in such a way as to make that departure from the normal speech order a source of strength rather than weakness.” This description on the web site Hymnology Archive of a well-known hymn is hardly going to make your heart race. Singing it might do the trick, though. It was sung at the wedding in 1947 of Princess Elizabeth, now our Queen, of course, and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh; it was also sung at the funeral in 2018 of former U.S.

  • Hymn Stories: Number 2
    Hymn Stories: Number 2. In document ‘Number 1’ we considered two very popular hymns, ‘What a friend we have in Jesus’ and ‘How great Thou art’. In this document, we will delve a little into the background to the writing of two other fairly well-known hymns. The title of our first hymn is ‘It is well with my soul’,1 which was written in 1873 by Horatio Gates Spafford. Briefly the story is as follows. Horatio Spafford was born in 1828 in New York.2 As well as being a very successful lawyer and businessman,3 Mr Spafford was a devout Christian, and he ran a large Bible class in a Presbyterian church of Chicago. It was in his Bible class that he first met a beautiful young Norwegian girl, Anna Larssen,4 who he later married.5 Horatio Anna Their early married life was spent in a large gabled cottage on the north side of Chicago.6 For the next ten years, life was very pleasant for them, and by 1871 they had added a son and four lovely daughters to their home. Horatio Junior Mr Spafford was a close friend (and generous supporter) of the American evangelist D. L. Moody. 1 Mr Moody once told of the time the two older girls, Annie and Maggie, ‘expressed their wish to join the church. This was an unusual request for such young children, and Mr. Moody thought them too young to understand. So he took them aside and separately questioned them concerning the dogmas of the church and their obligations as members of the Christian community.

  • NO COMPARISON Henry Francis Lyte, Vicar in the Fishing Village of Lower
    Wisdom 12:13-19 October 9, 2016 Romans 8:18-27 Pastor Lori Broschat NO COMPARISON Henry Francis Lyte, vicar in the fishing village of Lower Brixham, Devonshire, England, ministered faithfully for twenty-three years to his seafaring people. He and his wife Anne lived in a house provided by King William IV, who had been impressed with Henry’s ministry. At water’s edge, its coastal views were among the most beautiful on the British Isles. Henry laid out walking trails through the estate’s forty-one acres and enjoyed the tranquility of the house and grounds. There he wrote most of his sermons, poems and hymns. But Henry’s lung condition hung over the home like a blackening cloud. They suffered damp winters, and while in his early fifties Henry realized his lung disorder had deteriorated into tuberculosis. On September 4, 1847, age 54, he entered the pulpit with difficulty and preached what was to be his last sermon. He had planned a therapeutic holiday in Italy. “I must put everything in order before I leave, he said, because I have no idea how long I will be away.” That afternoon he walked along the coast in prayer, then retired to his room, emerging an hour later with a written copy of Abide With Me. Shortly afterward, Henry embraced his family a final time and departed for Italy. Stopping in Avignon, France, he again revised Abide With Me - it was evidently much on his mind - and posted it to his wife.1 We’ll pick up Henry’s story later on, but for now, let’s imagine ourselves in the place of someone who could write lines like these, “Come not in terrors, as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings, Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea— Come, Friend of sinners, and thus abide with me.” Don’t appear to me as a frightening figure of authority and strength, Lord, but show yourself to be kind and powerful to heal, bringing your own sorrow for my distress and trouble because you are a friend to these humans you have created.

  • HENRY FRANCIS LYTE(1793-1847) Poet and Hymn Writer
    HIDDEN GEMS AND FORGOTTEN PEOPLE HENRY FRANCIS LYTE(1793-1847) Poet and Hymn Writer Henry Francis Lyte was born on 1 June 1793 at Ednam, near Kelso, Roxburghshire, the second son of Captain Thomas Lyte and Anna-Maria Oliver. Thomas Lyte's military career necessitated frequent moves, and the family followed him to different locations in England, before settling in Ireland in 1797. When the couple separated in 1801 Henry stayed with his father and his brother Thomas, and was then sent to Portora Royal School, Enniskillen, in October 1803. Because he spent both the terms and the holidays at the school, he developed a close relationship with Dr Burrowes, the headmaster, who became a surrogate father to the boy, taking over his financial responsibilities and eventually becoming his guardian. While at Portora Lyte began to compose poetry. Lyte entered Trinity College, Dublin, in 1811, and distinguished himself academically by winning a university scholarship in 1813, and the chancellor's prize for English verse in three successive years. He graduated BA in February 1814 and was ordained deacon on 18 December 1814. His first curacy was in Taghmon, co. Wexford, where he stayed for eighteen months, but his frequent attacks of asthma led him to resign this post. He then travelled through France. After his return to England, Lyte was moved from one curacy to another before eventually being given a position at the chapel of ease in Marazion, Cornwall, on 24 June 1817. On 21 January 1818 he married Anne, daughter and eventual heir of the Revd W. Maxwell of Falkland, Co.

    ST MATTHEW’S GRAPEVINE PARISH OF ALBURY NOVEMBER 2012 ———————————————————————————————————-- Page Grapevine Fr Peter writes : Dear People of St Matthew’s Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away; change and decay in all around I see; O thou who changest not, abide with me. I need thy presence every passing hour. What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. The words and music of this famous hymn for remembrance day was born of lived experience of challenge and sorrow. Henry Francis Lyte was born on a farm in Scotland early on his father had deserted his wife and two sons and shortly after his mother and brother died but was supported by a teacher who spotted his potential. After studying at Trinity College, Dublin and with very limited training for the ministry, Lyte took Anglican holy orders in 1815. He was married but lost a baby He established a Sailors' Sunday School. To educate children and sea- men. Lyte was a tall and "unusually handsome" man, "slightly eccentric but of great per- sonal charm, a man noted for his wit and human understanding, a born poet and an able scholar." He was an expert flute player and always had his flute with him.

  • Notes from the Music Director (No
    Notes from the Music Director (No. 7) Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church, Rochester, Pennsylvania Henry Doktorski, III August 30, 2015—14th Sunday after Pentecost Today’s readings may give cause for us to contemplate: which is better—following the letter of the law or the spirit of the law? In Deuteronomy, Moses orders the Israelites, “You must neither add anything to what I command you nor take away anything from it, but keep the commandments of the Lord your God with which I am charging you.” The Psalmist asks, “O Lord, who may abide in your tent? Who may dwell on your holy hill?” and the Lord answers, “Those Henry Francis Lyte who walk blamelessly, and do what is right.” On the other hand, the Epistle of James the Just admonishes us, “But be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves.” And Mark tells us when Jesus was asked by the Pharisees and the Scribes why he allowed his disciples to break the laws of Moses by putting food in their mouths without first washing their hands, the Master indicated that they who strictly follow the laws of Moses may be missing the whole point and deceiving themselves. “There is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile, but the things that come out are what defile.” I think we can all admit—as we discovered six Sundays ago on the 8th Sunday after Pentecost when the readings focused on sheep and shepherds—that domestic sheep, who are naturally fearful and insecure creatures, need a good shepherd, and we human beings, who much of the time are also fearful and insecure (recall Isaiah 53:6, “All we like sheep have gone astray”), need a strong leader throughout life, through trials and through death.

    THE THIRD HYMN: A CENTENARY N. E. SMITH ANY events happened in 1847, most of them unimportant. M Longfellow was given the story of Evangeline by Haw­ thorne, urged to immortalize it in verse; Henry Francis Lyte composed "Abide With Me Fast Falls The Eventide," and passed away the end of the year, Nov. 20th. Most readers will judge for themselves the relative importance of the two events. In November 1947 the religious world will observe the centenary of the poet's death, not because of innate saintliness, intellectual gifts, and charm of personality, but because he was the writer of the third great hymn in the English language. There have been four world-beloved hymns: Augustus Toplady's "Rock of Ages Cleft for Me," Charles Wesley's "Jesus Lover Of My Soul," Henry Lyte's "Abide With Me," and Sarah Flower Adam's "Nearer My God To Thee." It is not the purpose of this article to give a complete ac~ count of the life of Henry Lyte, but a few facts are necessary. He was born in Scotland, at Ednam, Roxburghshire,l June 1793, the son of a British Army officer, the second of three boys. His mother, Anna Maria Oliver was of unusual beauty, and Henry resembled her. The early days of the child were unhappy. The father tired of the mother and sought divorce. At the be­ ginning of the nineteenth century they parted, and Lyte never saw his mother again. Captain Lyte promptly rid himself of the two lads he had claimed and left England.
