Where Two or Three are Gathered

Author: Nellie A. Montgomery Hymnal: Devotional Songs #110 (1903) First Line: Dear Saviour, we, thy children Lyrics: 1 Dear Saviour, we, Thy children, Are gathered in Thy name, And trusting in Thy promise, Thy loving presence claim; O words so full of sweetness! Can aught with them compare?–- “Where two or three are gathered, I will be with them there; Where two or three are gathered, I will be with them there.” 2 When, wearied in life’s battles, Our hearts cry out for Thee, And, craving rest and comfort, We to Thy arms would flee;–- Then comes the blest assurance That speaks Thy loving care: “Where two or three are gathered, I will be with them there; Where two or three are gathered, I will be with them there.” 3 O hour of joy transcendent, When, from the gates ajar, A beam of heav’nly glory Shines on us from afar! ‘Tis then these words are spoken, As low we bend in prayer: “Where two or three are gathered, I will be with them there; Where two or three are gathered, I will be with them there.” Languages: English Tune Title: [Dear Saviour, we, thy children]

W. Howard Doane

1832 - 1915 Person Name: W. H. Doane Composer of "[Dear Saviour, we, thy children]" in Devotional Songs An industrialist and philanthropist, William H. Doane (b. Preston, CT, 1832; d. South Orange, NJ, 1915), was also a staunch supporter of evangelistic campaigns and a prolific writer of hymn tunes. He was head of a large woodworking machinery plant in Cincinnati and a civic leader in that city. He showed his devotion to the church by supporting the work of the evangelistic team of Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey and by endowing Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and Denison University in Granville, Ohio. An amateur composer, Doane wrote over twenty-two hundred hymn and gospel song tunes, and he edited over forty songbooks. Bert Polman ============ Doane, William Howard, p. 304, he was born Feb. 3, 1832. His first Sunday School hymn-book was Sabbath Gems published in 1861. He has composed about 1000 tunes, songs, anthems, &c. He has written but few hymns. Of these "No one knows but Jesus," "Precious Saviour, dearest Friend," and "Saviour, like a bird to Thee," are noted in Burrage's Baptist Hymn Writers. 1888, p. 557. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907) =================== Doane, W. H. (William Howard), born in Preston, Connecticut, 1831, and educated for the musical profession by eminent American and German masters. He has had for years the superintendence of a large Baptist Sunday School in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he resides. Although not a hymnwriter, the wonderful success which has attended his musical setting of numerous American hymns, and the number of his musical editions of hymnbooks for Sunday Schools and evangelistic purposes, bring him within the sphere of hymnological literature. Amongst his collections we have:— (1) Silver Spray, 1868; (2) Pure Gold, 1877; (3) Royal Diadem, 1873; (4) Welcome Tidings, 1877; (5) Brightest and Best, 1875; (6) Fountain of Song; (7) Songs of Devotion, 1870; (8) Temple Anthems, &c. His most popular melodies include "Near the Cross," "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," "Pass me Not," "More Love to Thee," "Rescue the Perishing," "Tell me the Old, Old Story," &c. - John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
