If We Could See Beyond Today

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The New Church Hymnal #153 (1976) Lyrics: 1 If we could see beyond todayAs God can see,If all the clouds should roll away,The shadows flee,O'er present griefs we would not fret, Each sorrow we would soon forget,For many joys are waiting yet,For you and me.2 If we could know beyond todayAs God doth know,Why dearest treasures pass awayAnd tears must flow,And why the darkness leads to light,Why dreary days will soon grow bright;Some day life's wrong will be made right,Faith tells us so.3 If we could see, if we could know,We often say,But God in love a veil doth throwAcross our way;We cannot see what lies before,And so we cling to Him the more:He leads us till this life is o'er,Trust and obey.

Norman J. Clayton

1903 - 1992 Person Name: N. J. C. Author of "If We Could See Beyond Today" in Favorites Number 8 Norman John Clayton Born at Brooklyn, NY, the 9th of 10 children, he gave his heart to Jesus at age six at South Brooklyn Gospel Church, his mother being a founding member of the Baptist group. He was musically inclined, and became church organist at age 12, and also played trumpet. He remained an organist for the rest of his life. A songwriter, he usually began writing the music before the words. He would memorize scripture to assure his music was biblically-based. Much of what he wrote was for special occasions. When young he first worked on a dairy farm, then held an office job in NYC. Clayton entered the building trades industry, working for his father’s construction business, and during the depression, with a commercial bakery. He married Martha Adaline Wistendahl, and they had two children: Muriel and one other (no name found). In the early 1940s, Jack Wyrtzen invited him to be an organist with NYC ‘Word of Life’ rallies. For 15 years he provided music, was organist, vibraphonist, director of the inquiry room, and radio evangelist. He created his own publishing house, and from 1945-1959 he published 30 of his own songbooks. His company was eventually purchased by the Rodeheaver Company, and he joined them as a writer/editor, providing other songs during that period. He died at Carmel, NY. John Perry
