Announcements
Offertory Anthem At The Name Of Jesus Choir
Text: Caroline Maria Noel *; Music: Noel Nouvelet, arr. James Kirkby
At the Name of Jesus, every knee shall bow, Every tongue confess Him King of glory now; It is his pleasure we should call Him Lord, Who from the beginning was the mighty Word. W Humbled for a season, to receive a name From the lips of sinners unto whom He came, Gladly He bore it spotless to the last, Brought it back victorious when from death He passed. W Bore it up triumphant with its human light, Through all ranks of creatures, to the central height, Before the throne and to the Father’s breast; Filled it with the glory of that perfect rest. W In your hearts enthrone Him; there let Him subdue All that is not holy, all that is not true; Crown as your Captain in temptation’s hour; Let His will enfold you in its light and power.
Doxology sung Old 100th
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below; praise him above, ye heavenly host; praise
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Music Notes
The hymn tune Repton, used during this morning’s Music Meditation, was composed by Charles Hubert Hastings Parry (1848-1918). Born at Richmond Hill, Bournemouth, England, son of a wealthy director of the East India Company. Parry’s mother died of consumption shortly after his birth. His father remarried when he was three, and his stepmother favored her own children over her stepchildren, so he and two siblings were sometimes left out. While music played an important role in Parry’s life during his schooling at Eton and at Exeter College, Oxford, at his father’s behest, he felt obliged upon graduation to try insurance work, as his father considered music only a pastime (too uncertain as a profession). He became an underwriter at Lloyd’s of London, 1870-77, but he found the work unappealing to his interests and inclinations. From 1877 until his death, Parry pursued music editing, composition, and teaching.
“Dear Lord and Father of Mankind" is taken from a poem, “The Brewing of Soma," by the American Quaker and poet John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892). In 1924, George Gilbert Stocks, a director of music at Repton School, Repton, Derbyshire, England, set the hymn Dear Lord and Father of Mankind to the tune Repton for use in the school's chapel. He took the melody from Parry’s 1888 contralto aria "Long since in Egypt's plenteous land" in his oratorio Judith.
“The Hymnal 1982” includes five hymn tunes by Parry.
