Music: Crawford Gates
Text: Jeremiah 15:16

Crawford Gates was one of the most admired and prolific composers of American sacred music in the 20th century, with nearly 900 compositions and arrangements to his name, including the music for the play Promised Valley and the Hill Cumorah Pageant. Gates earned a Ph.D. in Composition at the Eastman School of Music, where he studied with renowned composer Howard Hanson. He later taught composition at Brigham Young University and Beloit College. Gates’ tender hymn “For I am Called by Thy Name” takes its lyrics directly from the King James Version of Jeremiah 15:16, a verse that poetically describes hearing God’s voice and feeling His love through the words of holy scripture. Gates set this verse to music in 1974, and “For I Am Called by Thy Name” has since become a treasured selection in The Tabernacle Choir’s sacred repertoire.

(Lyrics)
Thy words were found
And I did eat them,
And they word was unto me
The joy and rejoicing of mine heart:
For I am called by thy name,
I am called by thy name,
I am called by thy name,
Oh Lord God of Hosts.
