Refrain: To be lost in the night, in eternity’s night, To sink in despair and in woe; But such is thy doom, if thou turn from the light, Refusing His mercy to know. 2 His great, loving heart beats in pity for thee, He anxiously waits for thee now; Oh, turn not away, but His bleeding hands see, They’ll smooth the dark clouds from thy brow. [Refrain] 3 Your time now is passing, eternity’s near, The sun now hangs low o’er thy way; Oh, turn to Him now, the glad gospel word hear, Oh, hasten while yet there is day.

J. H. Hall

1855 - 1941 Person Name: J. H. H. Arranger of "[Oh, come to the Saviour, thou poor, weary soul]" in Crowning Day No. 4 Jacob Henry Hall, 1855-1941 Born: January 2, 1855, near Harrisonburg, Virginia. Died: December 22, 1941. Buried: Dayton, Virginia. Son of farmer George G. Hall and Elizabeth Thomas Hall, Jacob attended singing schools taught by Timothy Funk when he was a boy. As his love of music progressed, he earned money by trapping quail and bought a German accordion; he soon learned to play one part while singing another. After he and his brother jointly purchased an organ, he taught himself to play hymn tunes, Gospel songs, and anthems. He went on to study music theory, harmony, and composition in Harrisonburg and elsewhere, and in 1877 attended a Normal Music School in New Market, Virginia, taught by Benjamin Unseld and P. J. Merges. Afterward, he partnered with H. T. Wartman for two years to conduct singing schools and conventions. In 1890, Hall attended Dana’s Musical Institute in Warren, Ohio, and a normal school run by George & F. W. Root at Silver Lake, New York. He later served as principal of the National Normal School of Music.
