Dear Kit,
I say a strong Amen to your prayer.
Here is something wonderful.
My favorite composer arranged hymns during the last Revival, early 1900's, as well as being a composer of great talent, Ralph Vaughn Williams.
This link will take you to a short biographical note with a listing of his hymn melodies.... Scroll down to see short names. click and breathe. I also love the poetry of George Herbert.

Thank you So Much for these Beautiful and Spirit-Uplifting Melodies, and Ralph Vaughn Williams is a Blessing, and a Refreshment to my Heart. I'm Reading these Hymns as I Listen to the Music, and how Manifold are the Works of our King, Who has Given these Gifts to Mankind! Praises, and Glory, and Thanksgiving, and Honor be to our Wonderful God of Grace!

"Blessed are you, God of Israel,
Our Father from of old and forever.
To you, O God, belong the greatness and the might,
The glory, the victory, the majesty, the splendor;
Yes! Everything in heaven, everything on earth;
The kingdom all yours! You've raised yourself high over all.
Riches and glory come from you,
You're ruler over all;
You hold strength and power in the palm of your hand
To build up and strengthen all.
And here we are, O God, our God, giving thanks to you,
Praising your splendid Name." (1Chron.29:10-13)

We Worship You, O Lord our God, and Love the Greatness of Thy Name. Thank You for this Gathering of Thy Children, for Thy Tender Mercies, through Thy Grace. Your Compassions and Lovingkindness are Wonderous, our Lord, our Savior in Whom is our Hope. Fill Thy Servants with Thy Goodness, O God, and Use us to Draw Sinners to Your Son. Be Magnified Forever for Your Awesome Works, and Loved for Your Eternal, Great Grace. In Thy Name, for the Glory of the King, amen.
