The New Song
Author: Flora L. Best Hymnal: Joy to the World #72 (1879) First Line: There are songs of joy that I loved to sing Refrain First Line: O, the new, new song! Lyrics: 1 There are songs of joy that I loved to sing
When my heart was as blithe as a bird in Spring;
But the song I have learned is so full of cheer,
That the dawn shines out in the darkness drear.
Chorus:
O, the new new song!
O, the new, new song,
I can sing it now
With the ransom'd throng;
Power and dominion to him that shall reign;
Glory and praise to the Lamb that was slain.
2 There are strains of home that are dear as life,
And I list to them oft 'mid the din of strife;
But I know of a home that is wondrous fair,
And I sing the psalm they are singing there. [Chorus]
3 Can my lips be mute, or my heart be sad,
When the gracious Master hath made me glad?
When he points where the many mansions be,
And sweetly says, 'There is one for thee?' [Chorus]
4 I shall catch the gleam of its jasper wall
When I come to the gloom of the even fall,
For I know that the shadows, dreary and dim,
Have a path of light that will lead to him. [Chorus]

John R. Sweney
1837 - 1899 Person Name: John Robson Sweney Composer of "[There are songs of joy that I loved to sing]" in The Cyber Hymnal John R. Sweney (1837-1899) was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and exhibited musical abilities at an early age. At nineteen he was studying with a German music teacher, leading a choir and glee club, and performing at children’s entertainments. By twenty-two he was teaching at a school in Dover, Delaware. Soon thereafter, he was put in charge of the band of the Third Delaware Regiment of the Union Army for the duration of the Civil War. After the war, he became Professor of Music at the Pennsylvania Military Academy, and director of Sweney’s Cornet Band. He eventually earned Bachelor and Doctor of Music degrees at the Academy.
Sweney began composing church music in 1871 and became well-known as a leader of large congregations. His appreciators stated “Sweney knows how to make a congregation sing” and “He had great power in arousing multitudes.” He also became director of music for a large Sunday school at the Bethany Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia of which John Wanamaker was superintendent (Wanamaker was the founder of the first major department store in Philadelphia). In addition to his prolific output of hymn melodies and other compositions, Sweney edited or co-edited about sixty song collections, many in collaboration with William J. Kirkpatrick. Sweney died on April 10, 1899, and his memorial was widely attended and included a eulogy by Wanamaker.
