Gracious Spirit Dwell With Me Male Choir Sheet Music TTBB 4-part History in short.
A century ago, Christians took their hymns very seriously. So seriously that the publication of Thomas Toke Lynch’s (1818-1871) little hymnbook, The Rivulet 1855 (“for Christian poetry is indeed a river of life, and to this river my rivulet brings its contribution”), almost split the Congregational Church. The “Rivulet Controversy,” as it was called, centered around Lynch’s frequent references to nature in his hymn texts, but the controversy was probably exacerbated by his fresh poetic style. The great hymnologist, John Julian, says, “Lynch’s hymns are marked by intense individuality, gracefulness and felicity of diction, picturesqueness, spiritual freshness, and the sadness of a powerful soul struggling with a weak and emaciated body.” Though the booklet was meant simply as an in-church supplement to Isaac Watt’s popular hymnbook, the controversy spilled beyond his own church’s walls and provoked the likes of Spurgeon to condemn him for promoting bad theology. While “Gracious Spirit, Dwell with Me” does not contain examples of his controversial nature imagery, it has been accused of promoting the “human spirit” rather than the Holy Spirit.
Gracious Spirit Dwell With Me History continued.
In light of the third verse’s prayer for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and the hymn’s overall concentration on the fruits of the Spirit, these criticisms are unfounded. Lynch’s life also bears the mark of the Spirit; in the middle of these turbulent times he said, “The air will be all the clearer for this storm. We must conquer our foes by suffering them to crucify us rather than by threatening them with crucifixion.” Although this trial did nothing to shake his faith, his health suffered significantly, and it is thought that it contributed to his early death. The tune, REDHEAD 76, is given its name because it was the 76th tune in Richard Redhead’s (1820-1901) Church Hymn Tunes. Redhead was trained as a chorister at Magdalene College, Oxford, and though he was a reputable organist, he is chiefly remembered as one of the key figures in the Oxford “Gregorian Revival.” REDHEAD 76 is probably best known as the tune to “Go to Dark Gethsemane,” and is therefore often referred to as “GETHSEMANE;” but has also been called “PETRA” (rock) for its association with the text “Rock of Ages.” –Greg Scheer, 1997
