Come, Ye Thankful People, Come

Author: Henry Alford Appears in 730 hymnals Topics: Heaven Lyrics: 1 Come, ye thankful people, come, Raise the song of harvest-home: All is safely gathered in, Ere the winter storms begin; God, our Maker, doth provide For our wants to be supplied; Come to God's own temple, come, Raise the song of harvest-home. 2 All the world is God's own field, Fruit unto His praise to yield; Wheat and tares together sown, Unto joy or sorrow grown: First the blade, and then the ear, Then the full corn shall appear: Grant, O harvest Lord, that we Wholesome grain and pure may be. 3 For the Lord our God shall come, And shall take His harvest home; From His field shall in that day All offenses purge away; Give His angels charge at last In the fire the tares to cast; But the fruitful ears to store In His garner evermore. 4 Even so, Lord, quickly come To Thy final harvest-home; Gather Thou Thy people in, Free from sorrow, free from sin; There, forever purified, In Thy presence to abide: Come, with all Thine angels, come, Raise the glorious harvest-home. Amen. Used With Tune: [Come, ye thankful people, come]

Come, let us go to heaven

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #119 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Heaven invitation to go to Lyrics: Come, let us go to heaven;--the way, Like darkness, opens into day, When from the turning-point of night, Breaks the first beam of morning light. Come let us go to heaven;--our guide Is Christ who lived, is Christ who died, And rose again; His staff and rod, Through life and death, will lead to God. Come, let us go to heaven;--forsake Sin, earth, and hell, and gladly take His easy yoke, His pleasant load, And brave the dangers of the road. 121 Come, let us go to heaven;--and press On through the howling wilderness; Yet fear not, little flock, though foes Without, within, your course oppose. Come, let us go to heaven,--no power, Not Satan roaring to devour, Nor all his hosts, can harm, for ye, Through Christ, shall more than conquerors be. Come, let us go to heaven;--and meet Once and for ever, round His feet; Yea, in Christ's kingdom, as His own, Sit down with Him upon His throne. Can these things be?--they are, are sure To all who to the end endure; While unbelief cries, "can they be?" Come, let us go to heaven and see. Languages: English

Let all the saints terrestrial sing, With those to glory gone; For all the servants of our King, In earth and heaven, are one. 2 One family we dwell in Him, One church above, beneath, Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death: One army of the living God, To His command we bow; Part of His host have crossed the flood, And part are crossing now. 3 Even now by faith we join our hands With those who went before; And greet the blood-besprinkled bands On the eternal shore. Our spirits too shall quickly join, Like theirs with glory crowned, And shout to see our Captain's sign, To hear His trumpet sound. Languages: English Tune Title: MEADOWVALE

He was educated in the public schools of Oneonta, the county seat. He began teaching in the public schools at an early age and at one time was associate Principle of the Oneonta High School. It was while teaching in the high school that he became interested in church music and began to study with some of the best teachers of the time. His first major teacher was the late A J showalter in one of his normals at Eden, AL. He continued his study with this wellknown teacher until he had finished the courses a second time. He soon felt that the study of harmony was his first love in his study and soon became one of the best harmon teachers of his time. Near the close of the century, he moved to Texas and settled in Midlothian, Ellis Co., where he established a publishing house and published many fine gospel song books that sold by the thousands. However, before coming to Texas, he was associated with The Showalter-Patton Co. who published his first compositions. Soon after coming to Texas, he devoted much time to teaching singing schools (Cornelius Normal Musical Institute) and soon became one of the best known teachers of that great state, often having many more calls for schools than he could have time for. In many cases his schools were dated years ahead. he had possessed a beautiful tenor voice and was of a very pleasant personality. This caused his to be loved by all who knew him. About 1914 he was called to Southwestern Baptist Seminary as head of the music department. After several years here in the Baptist School in Ft Worth, Texas, he felt he was more needed back in the field of teaching and songbook publishing. Soon after coming to Texas, he married Maycon Temperance Burleson, who was a fine singer and musician and wrote many songs.During the first 32 years of the 20th Century, this couple of musicians blessed the State of Texas with their singing and teaching. Of all the fine song written by Mr. Cornelius, "Oh, I want to See Him" will carry his memory for years to come. The Cornelius' were members of the Baptist Church and were devoted Christians. Mr. Cornelius passed away in 1932. Mrs. Cornelius lived only about two years, passing away in 1934. In the passing of these fine gospel singer and teachers, church music suffered a great loss.
