Holy, Holy”
|g Hymn Study of the Month ||
(Presented to the Summer
ville Music Club by Mrs. E.
Raynard Arehart, of Menlo, i
The hymn "Holy, Holy,
Holy” has been designated as
the world’s greatest hymn by
no less an authority on true
poetry than the late Poet
Laureate of England, Alfred
Lord Tenneyson. It is one of
the most beautiful, expres
sive and best loved hymns of
Christendom.
Some hymns sing about
God — such as "A Mighty
Fortress Is Our God"; others
sing about what God will do
for His creatures—such as
"God Will Take Care of
You"; others sing of some
particular attribute of God —
such as “I Sing the Almighty
Power of God.” This hymn
under consideration, how
ever, leads us into the very
presence of God as we ad
dress Him and adore Him for
His saintliness. He is thrice
holy, perfect in power, in
love and purity.
This hymn could only have
been written by one who
knew God intimately, and
who had had long experi
ence in worshipping the Lord
God Almighty. The life story
of Reginald Heber is one of
thrilling interest and real
adventure for the cross. He
was born in Cheshire, Eng
land, in 1783 and died
in 1826. being only 43 years
of age. In early childhood,
he evinced courage of the
staunchest sort. Once the
doctor suggested bleeding
him to stop the ravages of
whooping cough. His nurse
protested, but the little suf
ferer settled it with these
words: “Send poor nurse
downstairs. I won’t stir.
Don’t hold me.” And he held
out his arm to the lancet.
When off to school, it was
necessary to sew up his pock
et money in his pockets, or
he gave it away to the first
person in distress. Evenings
he was the center of a crowd
of boys, the story teller in
those stirring times of war
with France, of Nelson and
Trafalgar. Chivalrous, un
selfish, gentle, the servants
said of him, “Master Regi
nald is never in a passion.”
With vice prevalent every
where, Heber preserved his
purity and reverence through
it all. and led many a lad
through the fires of tempta-
tion. "If his heart,” said one,
“had no other covering than
a glass, its thoughts were so
pure, no one need fear to
read them.”
In Oxford, he carried off
the university prize for Latin
verse. When only 24 years of
age, he began his work as
vicar of Hodnet, where he
ministered for 16 year s.
Thackery said of him: “He
was the beloved priest in his
own home of Hodnet, coun
selling the people in their
troubles, advising them in
their difficulties, kneeling
often at their sick beds at
the hazard of his own life;
where there was strife, the
peace maker, where there
was want, the free giver.”
He was offered the Bish
opric of Calcutta on two dif
ferent occasions and both
times declined the honor,
preferring to remain as the
parish priest of his home
town. The second time he re
fused it, he felt that the call
was one of duty, and re
tracted the refusal. He sailed
for Calcutta in 1823. His dio
cese included not only all of
India, which would have
been a sufficiently large par
ish for any ordinary man,
but also the Island of Ceylon
and the whole of Australia.
Heber thus describes the cli
mate of Calcutta: “It is im
possible to sit still under the
most favorable circum
stances without streaming
with perspiration. Our win
dow's are all close shut up,
and our rooms darkened to
keep out the hot and molten
atmosphere, which streams
in wherever it can find an
entrance, like the breath of
a huge blast furnace.”
Bishop Heber preached in
India only three years. His
death came very suddenly in
1826. Leaving his wife & two
baby girls in Bombay, he
started on what was to be
his last journey, visiting
Ceylon, Madras and other
parts of Southern India. He
journeyed through terrific
heat, arriving at midnight
at Trichinopoly. The next
day he preached a confirma
tion address, visited the sick,
wrote letters, conducted eve
ning prayer, and held con
ferences. On the following
day he began with four hours
of intense work prior to a
late Anglo-Indian breakfast
in the heat of a Madras
April. He prepared for a
swimming bath. The bath
held seven feet of water,
into which he plunged. Half
an hour passed without a
sound. When his servant,
alarmed, opened the door
and saw the body of his
master under the water. Re
suscitation was impossible.
The first shock of cold water
had caused the bursting of
a blood vessel in the brain.
Reginald Heber is unique
among hymn writers in that
practically all of his hymns
are still in use.
The hymn tune, “Nicaea,”
was composed by John Bac
chus Dykes who was born at
Hull, England. March 10.
1823. Young Dykes was very
talented musically. He was
Flu Cases
On Increase
In Georgia
A sharp increase in the
number of reported cases of
influenza has been noted by
the State Health Depart
ment.
Dr. John E. McCroan, the
state’s chief epidemiologist,
said today that his office
had received information on
flu increases from the north
eastern Georgia regions and
around the Atlanta metro
politan area.
Dr. McCroan indicated
that a check with health of
ficials in the southern re
gions of the state had shown
no increase in cases.
The first reported increase
of flu in Georgia came from
Franklin County during the
week of Dec. 11, where
school absenteeism had been
above normal.
He also said that flu out
breaks had been reported in
Cobb and DeKalb counties
and in the area surrounding
Franklin County. The most
recent outbreak was re
ported from north Fulton
County.
Increase Predicted
"Earlier this year,” Dr.
McCroan stated, “the U. S.
Public Health Service had
predicted that a flu increase
would hit the country. As of
today, 12 states—including
Georgia—have reported un
usual increases.
The health official recom
mended that people take a
little more care to try to
avoid situations which can
cause a cold. He also ad
vised that anyone with a
very severe cold or one which
hangs on should consult
with their own private phy
sician.
taught violin and piano.
While only a child he could
play by ear almost anything
he heard. Because of the es
pecial appeal which the or
gan had for him. he used to
have his sisters pump for
him while he practiced, pay
ing them a cent an hour for
their labor. This practicing
was done in his grandfath
er’s church, where John
Dykes was assistant organist
at 10 years of age. Dykes
graduated from Cambridge,
studying music throughout
his course. He took Holy Or
ders and when later he was
appointed precentor at Dur
ham Cathedral he found
that he had time for compo
sition of hymns in which he
was always interested. An in
defatigable worker, he work
ed out his hymn tunes wher
ever he happened to be—-on
the street, in a train, in the
company of friends, even in
the pulpit. Doctor Dykes was
one of the leading English
hymn-tune writers of the
last half of the 19th century
who have so greatly influ
enced American hymn music.
The hymn tune “Nicaea”
received its name because of
the fact that the doctrine of
the Trinity was definitely es
tablished at the famous
Council held at Nicaea in
Asia Minor, in 325 AD. It was
at this same council that the
Nlcene Creed was adopted.
