I know not what the future hath
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807 - 92 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I know not what the future hath
Of marvel or surprise,
Assured alone that life and death
His mercy underlies.
2 I know not where his islands lift
Their fronded palms in air;
I only know I cannot drift
Beyond his love and care.
3 And so beside the silent sea
I wait the muffled oar;
No harm from him can come to me
On ocean or on shore.
4 And thou, O Lord, by whom are seen
Thy creatures as they be,
Forgive me if too close I lean
My human heart on thee.
5 And if my heart and flesh are weak
To bear an untried pain,
The bruisèd reed thou wilt not break,
But strengthen and sustain. Topics: The Life In Christ Contemplation; The Life In Christ Life Everlasting Used With Tune: DALEHURST

James Leith Macbeth Bain
1840 - 1925 Person Name: James Leith Macbeth Bain, c. 1840-1925 Composer of "BROTHER JAMES' AIR" in Hymns of the Saints James Leith Macbeth Bain (b. Scotland, c. 1840; d. Liverpool, England, 1925), was a healer, mystic, and poet known simply as Brother James. The tune BROTHER JAMES AIR was first published in his volume The great peace: being a New Year's greeting ... (1915). Born in a devout Christian home, Bain came to doubt the faith but later regained a mystical belief with the aid of the Christo Theosophic Society. He founded the Brotherhood of Healers, and he and his fellow healers often sang to their patients during healing sessions. In the latter years of his life he worked among the poor in the slums of Liverpool. He published a book on healing entitled The Brotherhood of Healers ... (1906).

Henry J. Gauntlett
1805 - 1876 Person Name: Henry John Gauntlett, 1805-1876 Composer of "ST. FULBERT" in The Book of Praise Henry J. Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, July 9, 1805; d. London, England, February 21, 1876) When he was nine years old, Henry John Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, England, 1805; d. Kensington, London, England, 1876) became organist at his father's church in Olney, Buckinghamshire. At his father's insistence he studied law, practicing it until 1844, after which he chose to devote the rest of his life to music. He was an organist in various churches in the London area and became an important figure in the history of British pipe organs. A designer of organs for William Hill's company, Gauntlett extended the organ pedal range and in 1851 took out a patent on electric action for organs. Felix Mendelssohn chose him to play the organ part at the first performance of Elijah in Birmingham, England, in 1846. Gauntlett is said to have composed some ten thousand hymn tunes, most of which have been forgotten. Also a supporter of the use of plainchant in the church, Gauntlett published the Gregorian Hymnal of Matins and Evensong (1844).
