My Future

Author: Nils Frykman; Andrew L. Skoog Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4407 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: I have a future all sublime Lyrics: 1. I have a future all sublime, Beyond the realms of space and time, Where my Redeemer I shall see, And sorrow nevermore shall be. 2. A precious heritage is mine; ’Tis kept above by love divine; And while I tarry here below, He gives me what is best, I know. 3. O, God be praised, He planned for me; From anxious care I’m spared and free; He bids me cast on Him my care— What then remains for me to bear? 4. Sweet peace within my soul doth dwell; With joy I sing: Now all is well, He leads me safely by His hand Until I reach the Glory Land. 5. O precious Savior, teach Thou me To live my life more true to Thee The little while I yet must roam Before I reach my heav’nly home. Languages: English Tune Title: FUTURE

Nils Frykman

1842 - 1911 Author of "My Future" in The Cyber Hymnal Born: October 20, 1842, Sunne, Värmland, Sweden (birth name: Nils Larsson). Died: March 30, 1911, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Buried: Lakewood Cemetery, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Nils took the name Frykman after the region where he grew up, Fryksdalen. In 1868, he graduated from teachers’ college in Karlstad, and went on to teach in Grums, Norrköping, and Sunne. He preached in the church in Sunne, and around that time began to write hymns. Eventually, his texts were printed in the magazine Sanningsvittnet. However, Frykman’s work was not sanctioned by Sweden’s state church, and almost led to the loss of his job as a teacher. Eventually he did resign his position over a controversy about his children’s baptism by an independent preacher. In 1888, he was called to serve as pastor in the Tabernacle Church in Chicago, Illinois, and later in Salem, Minnesota. After 18 years, he retired to Minneapolis. He also served in the Northwest Mission Association of the Covenant Church, as denominational vice-chairman, Ministerial Board chairman, the Northwest Ministerial Association chairman, and as chairman of the committee to publish the Swedish-American Covenant church’s first hymnal in 1906. His works include: The History of My Songs --www.hymntime.com/tch
