Weeping Hours Will Soon be Over

Author: Bertha Mason Hymnal: Christian Endeavor Hymns #71 (1894) Lyrics: 1 Weeping hours will soon be over, And a joy will come to the soul at last; Kindred ties that here are broken, We shall find when the night is o’er. Refrain: Weeping hours will soon be over, Soon in bonds of union sweet, With the dear ones gone before us, We shall rest at Jesus’ feet. 2 Weeping hours will soon be over, There’s a home above ever bright and fair; We shall all forget our sorrow In the bliss that awaits us there. [Refrain] 3 Weeping hours will soon be over, Every tear be wiped from our eyes away; When we know and greet each other In the light of eternal day. [Refrain] 4 Weeping hours will soon be over, All the toils and cares of the world shall cease; Weary days and nights of watching, Will be lost in the home of peace.

W. Howard Doane

1832 - 1915 Person Name: W. H. Doane Composer of "[Weeping hours will soon be over]" in Christian Endeavor Hymns An industrialist and philanthropist, William H. Doane (b. Preston, CT, 1832; d. South Orange, NJ, 1915), was also a staunch supporter of evangelistic campaigns and a prolific writer of hymn tunes. He was head of a large woodworking machinery plant in Cincinnati and a civic leader in that city. He showed his devotion to the church by supporting the work of the evangelistic team of Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey and by endowing Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and Denison University in Granville, Ohio. An amateur composer, Doane wrote over twenty-two hundred hymn and gospel song tunes, and he edited over forty songbooks. Bert Polman ============ Doane, William Howard, p. 304, he was born Feb. 3, 1832. His first Sunday School hymn-book was Sabbath Gems published in 1861. He has composed about 1000 tunes, songs, anthems, &c. He has written but few hymns. Of these "No one knows but Jesus," "Precious Saviour, dearest Friend," and "Saviour, like a bird to Thee," are noted in Burrage's Baptist Hymn Writers. 1888, p. 557. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907) =================== Doane, W. H. (William Howard), born in Preston, Connecticut, 1831, and educated for the musical profession by eminent American and German masters. He has had for years the superintendence of a large Baptist Sunday School in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he resides. Although not a hymnwriter, the wonderful success which has attended his musical setting of numerous American hymns, and the number of his musical editions of hymnbooks for Sunday Schools and evangelistic purposes, bring him within the sphere of hymnological literature. Amongst his collections we have:— (1) Silver Spray, 1868; (2) Pure Gold, 1877; (3) Royal Diadem, 1873; (4) Welcome Tidings, 1877; (5) Brightest and Best, 1875; (6) Fountain of Song; (7) Songs of Devotion, 1870; (8) Temple Anthems, &c. His most popular melodies include "Near the Cross," "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," "Pass me Not," "More Love to Thee," "Rescue the Perishing," "Tell me the Old, Old Story," &c. - John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
