When darkness gathers round thy way

Author: Annie R. Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #710 (1886) Lyrics: 1 When darkness gathers round thy way, As fall the shades of even; No star, with its mild, cheering ray, To chase the gloom, our fears allay, How sweet the light of heaven! 2 When toiling in the narrow way, By persecution driven, Beset with treacherous snares that lay To lead our wayward feet astray, How sweet the smiles of heaven! 3 When by earth's care and grief and woe The anguished heart is riven, And bitter tears of sorrow flow No soothing balm found here below, How sweet the joy of heaven! 4 And when our pilgrimage is o'er, The blessed promise given; When, borne on angels' wings we soar To meet the Saviour we adore, How sweet the home in heaven!

Person Name: Unknown Composer of "PEACEFUL REST" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Frederick C. Maker

1844 - 1927 Composer of "REST" in The Church Hymnal Frederick C. Maker (b. Bristol, England, August 6, 1844; d. January 1, 1927) received his early musical training as a chorister at Bristol Cathedral, England. He pursued a career as organist and choirmaster—most of it spent in Methodist and Congregational churches in Bristol. His longest tenure was at Redland Park Congregational Church, where he was organist from 1882-1910. Maker also conducted the Bristol Free Church Choir Association and was a long-time visiting professor of music at Clifton College. He wrote hymn tunes, anthems, and a cantata, Moses in the Bulrushes.
