Composer William James Kirkpatrick William James Kirkpatrick's bio information February 27, 1838 - September 20, 1921 Born: February 27, 1838, Duncannon, Pennsylvania. Died: September 20, 1921, Germantown, Pennsylvania. Buried: Laurel Hill Cemetery, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Son of a school teacher and musician, Kirkpatrick grew up in a musical atmosphere. In 1854, he went to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to study music and learn a trade; he spent over three years as a carpenter. But he was more interested in music than mechanics, devoting all his leisure time to its study. His ambition at the time was to become a violinist. In 1855, Kirkpatrick joined the Wharton Street Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, and from then on devoted himself mostly to sacred music, giving his services to the choir and Sunday school. As there were few church organs in that day, his violin and cello were in constant demand for choir rehearsals, singing societies, and church programs. During this time he wrote a number of unpublished hymn tunes and anthems. Kirkpatrick studied vocal music under Professor T. Bishop, then a leading oratorio and ballad singer, and became a member of the Harmonia and Handel and Haydn Sacred Music Societies, where he heard the greatest singers of the day and became familiar with the principal choral works of the great composers. Kirkpatrick’s first published composition was “When the Spark of Life Is Waning,” which appeared around 1858 in the Musical Pioneer in New York. He went on to publish about 50 hymn collections, many in collaboration with John Sweney. His works include: The Wells of Salvation: Songs for the Sabbath School (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: John J. Hood, 1881) (with John Sweney) Winning Songs (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: John J. Hood, 1892) (with John Sweney & Henry Gilmour) Songs of Love and Praise, No. 3 (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: John J. Hood, 1896) (with John Sweney & Henry Gilmour) Glorious Praise, with Howard Doane (Louisville, Kentucky: The Baptist Book Concern, 1904) Revival Melodies, 1921 (editor) Waves of Glory No. 2, 1921 (editor) Music All over the World Alone with God Beautiful Robes Beautiful Sabbath Blessed Be the Name Blessing in Prayer, A By Grace I Will Calling for You Calvary’s Stream Is Flowing Come, for All Things Are Ready Come, Lord, and Let Thy Pow'r Comforter Has Come, The Cradle Song Dear Jesus, Canst Thou Help Me?

Lyrics Father all holy, bend we so lowly, Glowing with love's tender flame, Father in heaven praises be given, Hallowed forever Thy Name. Telling the story, spreading Thy glory, Send forth Thy people, we pray, Till ev'ry nation know Thy salvation, Under Thy Kingdom's full sway. Angels adore Thee, waiting before Thee, Swift Thy commands to fulfill; Grant us, we pray Thee, grace to obey Thee, Choosing and serving Thy Will. Father, now lead us, day by day, feed us, Ever provide and defend; Trespass confessing, seeking thy blessing, Pardon and peace without end. From sin deliver, keep us forever, Kingdom and glory are Thine! Thine, too, the power, hear us this hour, Father, our Father, divine! Jesus is pleading, still interceding For His redeemed ones again, For His sake hear us, in His name cheer us, He is the faithful "Amen."
