The Independent Chapel, St.Albans Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Psalm 103:1 William Cowper 1731-1800 (Article published in Grapevine - April/May 2000) April 2000, sees the two hundredth anniversary of the death of the poet and hymn writer, William Cowper, who had a small but significant connection with our church. Cowper was a sensitive character and suffered bouts of depression and even madness. As his melancholy increased, in 1763 his brother John, on whom he was dependent, placed him into the care of Dr Nathaniel Cotton of St Albans. Dr Cotton ran a private hospital in his house known as the Collegium Insonorum which stood on the corner of what is now College Street and Lower Dagnall Street. Dr Cotton was a great friend of Dr Samuel Clark, the minister of the chapel in Dagnall Lane where our predecessors met before our present building was erected. Another friend of Dr Cotton was the hymn writer, Philip Doddridge, also a member of the Dagnall Lane Chapel. William Cowper stayed in St Albans for about eighteen months. His stay must have been profitable, for his biographer William Hayley writes of his time with Dr Cotton, "His ideas of religion were changed from the gloom of terror and despair to the lustre of comfort and delight. This juster and happier view of evangelical truth is said to have arisen in his mind while he was reading Romans chapter 3." Hutchinson's encyclopaedia puts it plainly: "He ... sufffered a mental breakdown in 1763 and entered an asylum where he underwent an evangelical conversion."

Biography Account of Mother's Death Cowper's Poem Upon His Mother's Death John Newton's Sermon at Cowper's Funeral William Cowper Hymns Written Heal Us Emmanuel Love Constraining To Obedience Sometimes A Light Surprises There Is A Fountain Biography When Cowper showed signs of returning depression Newton suggested they work together on providing hymns for the weekly meetings. This gesture of friendship resulted in many hymns grounded in prayer and scripture which still give much encouragement and incentive to worship today, two hundred years later, all over the world. These critics who to faith no quarter grant, But call it mere hypocrisy and cant To make a just acknowledgment of praise And thanks to God for governing our ways, Approve Confucius more and Zoroaster When Cowper and Mary Unwin moved from Weston, Underwood in their final years to stay with his cousin Johnson, he wrote these lines in pencil on the window shutter of a bedroom overlooking the garden of the Lodge, The shutter was closed up for twenty years to save paying the window tax. It is now kept at the Cowper and Newton Museum, Olney. “Oh! with what a surprise of joy,” wrote Newton a few days after Cowper’s death, “would he find himself immediately before the throne, and in the presence of his Lord! All his sorrows left below, and earth exchanged for heaven."

William Cowper (1731-1800) W illiam Cowper's poetry was an important part of the emerging discourse of British nature writing. He is a key transitional figure, whose conventional piety"God made the country, and man made the town" ( The Task , I, l. 749)is frequently offset by an inability to draw consolation from the traditional view of a divinely ordered universe, but who seeks instead some form of resolution from within the natural world itself. He consistently contrasts the beauties of solitary, rural, nature with the deceptive charms of the city: What wonder then that health and virtue, gifts That can alone make sweet the bitter draught That life holds out to all, should most abound And least be threatened in the fields and groves? Possess ye therefore, ye who, borne about In chariots and sedans, know no fatigue But that of idleness, and taste no scenes But such as art contrives, possess ye still Your element; there only ye can shine, There only minds like yours can do no harm. Our groves were planted to console at noon The pensive wanderer in their shades. At eve

The Mediadrome Search WWW Table Talk (an extract) by William Cowper (1731-1800) B. I know the mind that feels indeed the fire The Muse imparts, and can command the lyre, Acts with a force, and kindles with a zeal, Whate’er the theme, that others never feel. If human woes her soft attention claim, A tender sympathy pervades the frame, She pours a sensibility divine Along the nerve of every feeling line. But if a deed not tamely to be borne Fire indignation and a sense of scorn, The strings are swept with such a power, so loud, The storm of music shakes the astonish’d crowd. So, when remote futurity is brought Before the keen inquiry of her thought, A terrible sagacity informs The poet’s heart; he looks to distant storms; He hears the thunder ere the tempest lowers! And, arm’d with strength surpassing human powers, Seizes events as yet unknown to man, And darts his soul into the dawning plan. Hence, in a Roman mouth, the graceful name Of prophet and of poet was the same; Hence British poets too the priesthood shared, And every hallow’d druid was a bard.

The Mediadrome Search WWW Charity (extracts) by William Cowper (1731-1800) When Cook—lamented, and with tears as just As ever mingled with heroic dust— Steer'd Britain's oak into a world unknown, And in his country's glory sought his own, Wherever he found man to nature true, The rights of man were sacred in his view; He soothed with gifts, and greeted with a smile, The simple native of the new-found isle; He spurn'd the wretch that slighted or withstood The tender argument of kindred blood; Nor would endure that any should control His freeborn brethren of the southern pole. But, though some nobler minds a law respect, That none shall with impunity neglect, In baser souls unnumber'd evils meet, To thwart its influence, and its end defeat. While Cook is loved for savage lives he saved, See Cortez odious for a world enslaved! Where wast thou then, sweet Charity? where then, Thou tutelary friend of helpless men?

Beginning at age 21, he suffered several protracted bouts of, as he described them, ''dejection of the spirits'' that were heralded by a ''nervous fever.'' Often incapable of rousing himself to write poetry, he composed his best verse, including The Task, for which he became famous, under ''assignment'' from the woman with whom he lived platonically for 31 years, Mrs. Un win, a clergyman's widow, and from their neighbor, Lady Austen. Yet even during his bleakest spells, he recorded in journals and letters his ever-present feeling of unease and foreboding, his fear ''that a cloud may come over me.''

80. (lIGHT) For while in him confiding, I cannot but rejoice. William Cowper Cowper (koo pcror kou per), William (17311800), English poet and hymn writer, http://www.sounddoctrine.com/poetry/cowperlight.htm

A Word of Joy Sometimes a light surprises The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord who rises With healing in his wings: When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again A season of clear shining To cheer it after rain. In holy contemplation, We sweetly then pursue The theme of God's salvation, And find it ever new: Set free from present sorrow, We cheerfully can say, E'en let th' unknown tomorrow Bring with it what it may. It can bring with it nothing But he will bear us thro'; Who gives the lilies clothing Will clothe his people too: Beneath the spreading heavens, No creature but is fed; And he who feeds the ravens Will give his children bread. Though vine, nor fig tree neither, Their wonted fruit should bear, Tho' all the fields should wither, Nor flocks, nor herds, be there: Yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice; For while in him confiding, I cannot but rejoice. William Cowper From Elgin S. Moyer, Who Was Who In Church History
