Oh, Where Shall Rest be Found
Author: Montgomery; Muhlenberg Hymnal: Wondrous Love #132 (1885) Refrain First Line: The ark of God! The open door! Lyrics: 1 Oh, where shall rest be found—
Rest for the weary soul?
’Twere vain the ocean’s depths to sound,
Or pierce to either pole.
Refrain:
Behold
Behold,
Oh, haste to gain that dear abode,
And rove, my soul, no more.
2 The world can never give
The bliss for which we sigh;
’Tis not the whole of life to live,
Nor all of death to die. [Refrain]
3 Beyond this vale of tears,
There is a life above,
Unmeasured by the flight of years;
And all that life is love. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Oh, where shall rest be found]

Influenced by Johann Pestalozzi, he published his theories of music education in Gangbildungslehre (1810), a book that made a strong impact on Lowell Mason. Nageli composed mainly" choral works, including settings of Goethe's poetry. He received his early instruction from his father, then in Zurich, where he concentrated on the music of. S. Bach.

Composer of "[Oh, where shall rest be found]" in The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 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).
