Oh that with yonder sacred throng, EMMANUEL. L. M. de ele BRAUN'S Echo Hymnodia Cœlestis,' 1675. गाग 165. HELP us, O Lord, Thy yoke to wear, Each other's burdens learn to bear, He that hath pity on the poor Lendeth his substance to the Lord; For more than this shall be restored. Teach us, with glad, ungrudging heart, A liberal portion to the poor. To Thee our all devoted be, In whom we breathe, and move, and live; Freely may we rejoice to give. THE Lord, who once our weakness' knew, In wisdom as in stature grew, Though Angels round Thy throne on high Thou hearest when to Thee we cry, Thou wilt not scorn our praise. Son of John Wainwright (see Hymn 20), whom he succeeded, as Organist of the Collegiate Church at Manchester, in 1768. He had been a competitor for the situation of Organist at Halifax, in 1766, when Herschel, afterwards Sir William Herschel, the celebrated astronomer, was elected. He died 1782. |
