Hymn Reflection : “Shall We Gather at the River”
Rarely is it called this any longer, but the beloved song “Shall We Gather at the River” was once regularly referred to simply as “The River.” Written and set to music by Robert Lowry, this beautiful song has reminded countless people of heaven through the years. But even “The River” was not the original name of this song. Lowry is usually remembered more for his music than his poetry, as he set many of Fannie Crosby’s songs to music. Between his own poems and other poems–including those by Crosby–that he set to music, Lowry helped pen over 500 compositions, many of which we still sing today. Probably none is so…

Hymn Reflection : “Eternal Father, Strong to Save”
Inspired by a psalm, this hymn is now commonly associated with the armed forces (which explains the picture at the end of this post from my hymnal collection). In fact, the hymn has been used for so long by navies in both Britain and the United States that it has alternate names such as “Hymn of Her Majesty’s Royal Forces” and “The Navy Hymn.” The three original stanzas of “Eternal Father, Strong to Save” were penned in 1860 by William Whiting. He was a hymn writer and poet who had at least two collections of poems published. Today, though, this hymn is by far his most-remembered work. Whiting received some…

Hymn Reflection : “O Holy Night”
French in origin, this powerhouse song has been recorded numerous times in nearly every language imaginable. Amazingly, this hymn was not written by a professional poet nor hymn writer, but by a wine merchant. Placide Clappeau desired to have a life in academics, and showed great promise in many areas. Eventually, he received a license to practice law in Paris. To show his varied skills, however, just six years prior to earning this license, he won first prize in a drawing contest. All this despite having had one hand amputated at the age of 8. Cappeau, though a law license holder, went back to his father’s family business, selling wine…
