Music Notes
Hymn of the Day: “O Christ, the Healer, We Have Come”, ELW 610
Text: Fred Pratt Green (1903-2000)
Tune: DISTRESS, W. Walker Southern Harmony, 1835
The name of the Rev. F. Pratt Green is one of the best-known of the contemporary school of hymnwriters in the British Isles. His name and writings appear in practically every new hymnal and "hymn supplement" wherever English is spoken and sung. And now they are appearing in American hymnals, poetry magazines, and anthologies. Mr. Green was born in Liverpool, England, in 1903. Ordained in the British Methodist ministry, he has been pastor and district superintendent in Brighton and York, and now served in Norwich. There he continued to write new hymns "that fill the gap between the hymns of the first part of this century and the 'far-out' compositions that have crowded into some churches in the last decade or more."
Musical Meditation: “O Wondrous Type, O Vision Fair”, Stephen Gabrielsen (1940-2013)
Stephen Gabrielsen taught for 47 years as a professor of music at Augsburg College. He is known for his service to the community as College organist. His majors in music and religion were the foundation for his vocation, which found expression in music and faith. He played organ in daily chapel throughout his time at Augsburg and was organist for 28 Advent Vespers services.
