Shall We Know Our Loved Ones There?

Author: Fronia Smith Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: When we've crossed the darksome river Refrain First Line: Shall we hear the blessed voices Lyrics: 1 When we’ve crossed the darksome river, And before the gates shall stand, Waiting for the angel warders, To admit us to that land, Shall we hear the blessed voices, Of the loved ones waiting there, As their anthems of rejoicing, Float upon the evening air? Shall we hear the blessed voices, Of the loved ones waiting there, As their anthems of rejoicing, Float upon the heav’nly air? 2 When those pearly gates swing open, Shall we seem them waiting, throng? Shall we joyfully enfold them, In our arms bereft so long? Shall we hear their eager questions, Of the dear ones left afar, In this land of gloom and shadow, Out beyond the “gates ajar”? Shall we hear the blessed voices, Of the loved ones waiting there, As their anthems of rejoicing, Float upon the heav’nly air? 3 Faith one ager wing soars upward, And bright Hope her way attends, And the heart oft sad and lonely, Upward bourne by them, ascends: In that fair and distant country, We shall find our loved and own, There we’ll join with them in praises, Gathered with them ‘round the throne. Chorus: We shall hear the blessed voices, Of the loved ones waiting there, As their anthems of rejoicing, Float upon the heav’nly air. Used With Tune: [When we've crossed the darksome river]

Oliver Holden

1765 - 1844 Person Name: O. Holden Hymnal Number: 71 Composer of "[All hail the pow'r of Jesus' Name]" in Gems and Jewels Holden, Oliver, one of the pioneers of American psalmody, was born in 1765, and was brought up as a carpenter. Subsequently he became a teacher and music-seller. He died at Charlestown, Massachusetts, 1844. His published works are American Harmony, 1793; the Worcester Collection, 1797; and other Tune books. One of his most popular tunes is "Coronation." It is thought that he edited a small hymn-book, published at Boston before 1808, in which are 21 of his hymns with the signature "H." A single copy only of this book is known, and that is without title-page. Of his hymns the following are in common use:— 1. All those who seek a throne of grace. [God present where prayer is offered.] Was given in Peabody's Springfield Collection, 1835, No. 92, in a recast form as, “They who seek the throne of grace." This form is in extensive use in America, and is also in a few collections in Great Britain. 2. With conscious guilt, and bleeding heart. [Lent.] This, although one of the best of Holden's hymns, has passed out of use. It appeared, with two others, each bearing bis signature, in the Boston Collection (Baptist), 1808. 3. Within these doors assembled now. [Divine Worship.] [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.] -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology
