Author: Elwood H. Stokes Hymnal: The Ark of Praise #27 (1882) First Line: It was said, and O, I can hardly tell Lyrics: 1 It was said, and oh, I can hardly tell How sadly the news on my spirit fell, That the heavenly world, all bright and fair, Was so full that no more could enter there, Was so full that no more could enter there! 2 And all through the breadth of the heavenly land The mansions were many, and great, and grand; But all were full, there was room for no more, And bolted and barred was the entrance door, And bolted and barred was the entrance door. 3 O my soul went down in deep despair, As I said, no room—no room for me there; No room for me there, no crown and no rest, No fellowship sweet—for me—with the blest, No fellowship sweet—for me—with the blest. 4 But soon as I turned to the word of God, I found there was room in the Saviour’s blood; It was sin that has brought my soul in gloom, It was sin that had said, no room, no room! 5 I found there was room since the Saviour died; There was room—still room for the purified; To all such, at last, a crown shall be given, For sin, sin alone, can exclude from heaven! 6 Oh, then, to my Lord this moment I’ll fly; That I may be cleansed from sin’s deepest dye, So that when I arise from death’s dark gloom, All heaven shall cry, there is room, still room!

John H. Stockton

1813 - 1877 Person Name: Rev. J. H. Stockton Composer of "[It was said, and O, I can hardly tell]" in The Ark of Praise Stockton, John Hart, a Methodist minister, was born in 1813, and died in 1877. He was a member of the New Jersey Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and the successive pastoral charges that he filled as a member of that Conference are found in the Conference Journal. He was not only a preacher, but a musician and composer of tunes, as well as hymn writer. He published two gospel song books: Salvation Melodies, 1874, and Precious Songs, 1875. Hymn Writers of the Church by Charles Nutter, 1911 =============== Stockton, John Hart, b. April 19, 1813, and d. March 25, 1877, was the author of "Come, every soul by sin oppressed" (Invitation), in I.D. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos, 1878, and of "The Cross, the Cross, the blood¬stained Cross" (Good Friday) in the same collection. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907) =============== Stockton, John Hart. (New Hope, Pennsylvania, April 19, 1813--March 25, 1877). Born of Presbyterian parents, he was converted at a Methodist camp meeting in 1838, being received into full membership in the New Jersey Conference in 1857. Because of ill health he twice took the "supernumerary relations." He withdrew from actual pastoral work in 1874 and engaged in compiling and publishing gospel hymn books, issuing Salvation Melodies that year and Precious Songs in 1875, writing both words and music for a number of the songs. He died suddenly after attending a Sunday morning service at Arch Street Church, Philadelphia. Our Hymnody, McCutchan, has, perhaps, the fullest account of him readily available. --Robert G.
