. Old Familiar Hymns Subject QLTglk At “99'?! WA; “One of ‘the most familiar hymns sung in the Easter season is, “When 1 survey the Wondrous Cross". The author, Isaac Watts was the writér of many truly great hymns such as “Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun”, “0 God Our Help in Ages Past”, “ Joy to the World”. In fact there are 30 hymns in our Hymnary writ- Jen by Isaac Watts. His hymn of the Cross has been declared by Matthew Arnold to be the great- est christian hymn in the English language. The author has been recognized as the father of mod- ern English Hymnody. There pro- bably does not exist a more sac- ramental hymn. We are called in its verses to "survey" the Won- drous Cross with its mingled strains of sorrow and love, and to ponder the profoundest truth of the Christian faith â€" the suffer- ing of the sinless Christ. In it we contemplate the sacrifice of the Prince of Glory. and the crown that He won through His willing obedience to death. All our heri- tage is derived from that supreme denial of self, and all our pride and boasting is as nothing. The master stroke of the poet’s ap- peal is in the concluding stanza Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small, Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life. my all. Charles Wesley is another writ- er of forty- three familiar hymns in our hymnary». The hymn that has. been called his masterpiece (by Mrs. R. Stuart) As program convenor for the April meeting of the Woman’s Association of Edgeley United Church, Mrs. C. A. Peelar chose as her topic, “Authors of Great Hymns".

Many stories have been told of its origin. One is that a sea-bird, during a tem- pest on the Atlantic, flew into Wesley’s bosom for safety. An- other is that a dove, pursued by a hawk, flew into his study window and took refuge beside him. Both serve as illustrations of the teach- ing of the hymn. The spiritual teaching of this hymn has its meaning in all the experiences of life, in war and in peace, in the storms and trials that sweep ov- er our years. In all crises of the soul, there is one refuge above all others and that is our com- mittalto Him from whom we can draw never-failing courage and strength and comfort Rock of Ages The hymn “Rock of Ages” was written by Augustus Toplady. He was born in England in 1740 and died at the early age of 38, after a life of frail health. He was a devoted minister 'and a true saint of God. There is a story- well vouched for, that one day during his pastoral ministry, he was ov- ertaken by a thunder-storm, and that he took shelter in a great rock by the roadside, which had been cleft from the bottom al- most to the top, and that in the severity of the storm there came to him the ideas which he later (by Toby Shore) “Oh for some hot dry weather and then more and more of same," seems to.be the wailing chant echoed and re-‘echoed ar- ound most s’ections of Nor-Maple Subdivision. The general consensus seems to be that it's a durned tough row some of these city slickers have had to hoe in moving out to this here newly created subdivision Utopia. Seems they were given to understand there would be somewhat to contend with come spring and the thaws; but, to be isolated at the top of Lancer can, after some weeks, become most disconcerting. When folks refuse to drive past your prized lot around the bend on Goodman Cres., for fear (they say) their car might well be swallowed up and disappear â€" you hark back to when mother said there would be days like this, and marvel at how naive she was â€"- even she could never in her wildest dream conjure up such'scenes. Your spirits rise when you re- call how you were taught to build a campfire as a boy scout. Rubbing your numbed hands to- gether you choose the right spot in the middle of the floor, but as you break up the chair for kin-J dling, you ponder through hazy fogged mind, but what if some- thing should go wrong and the small patch of warmth get out of control? Oh yes, you recall the plight of the little red hydrant down the road and even the stout hearts of the volunteer firemen would quaver whilst figuring out just how so many feet of hose could be stretched to reach twice that many. So what's to do about it all??? Well. seems like not one dang thing â€" So, when finished with an average day’s beefing, slink ofi somewhere with a really descrip- tive book you borrowed ages ago, but didn’t find time to peruse, and become so engrossed you can’t put it down till round about some week near the end of May. Way up there on Lancer, your oil is running out, the family will be chilled and become sick. but the doctor wouldn't make it in. You should feed a cold but you hesitate. the larder is getting bare and if it would but snow 3 little, provisions could get through by dog sled, otherwise, well, add a little water (so far, that you have.) Say there â€" one point 'at hand â€" perhaps you should make your- self somewhat available, as little coach; Doug Orme, Mike we w A. H. L. Champions fashioned into the verses of this noted hymn. He thought of the tempests of sin and sorrow that sweep over the roadways of life and of how the penitent can find refuge in the towering presence and merit of one who can be truly called the “Rock of Ages”. There is another author of hymns that should be mentioned, Frances Jeane Crosby Van Alstine, known mostly as Fanny Crosby. She was born in 1823 and died in 1915 at the age of ninety-two Many of her hymns are old fav- orites that we all know. There are six in the hymnary, namely â€"â€" “‘All the Way My Saviour Leads Me," “Jessus Keep Me Near the Cross”, “1 Am Thine O Lord," “Rescue the Perishing.” “Pass Me Not 0 Gentle Savior", and “Safe in the Arms of Jesus." Fanny Crosby ' was blind, I don’t know how long, but she wrote many of her hymns in her blindness. Other Gospel hymns are “Blessed Assurance Jesus is Mine”, “Some Sweet Day,” Bye and Bye," “Saved By Grace," and “The Lights of Home”: These old hymns that we all know have much meaning to us. Standing before such an out- pouring of redeeming love and mercy, there should be the an- swer of a life commitment to the service of the King. sister and junior will no doubt take this particular moment to get mired, deeper and deeper and then deeper in that vast quantity of stuff in the great outdoors sur- rounding your friendly acre.
