A Hope in Heaven

Hymnal: Pearls of Praise #139 (1893) First Line: When pulse beats low and cheeks grow pale Refrain First Line: A hope in heav’n Lyrics: 1 When pulse beats low and cheeks grow pale, And storms of life are fiercely driv’n; When fairest prospects quickly fail, How sweet to have a hope in heav’n! Refrain: A hope in heav’n, How sweet to have a hope in heav’n! 2 When friends that seemed most near and dear, Are from our bosom swiftly riv’n, And life’s bright joys in gloom appear, How sweet to have a hope in heav’n! [Refrain] 3 When lone and wand’ring far from home, No kind relief to us is giv’n, Oh, what would then of us become, If we had not a hope in heav’n? [Refrain] 4 And when the end is drawing nigh, Of life thro’ which we long have striv’n, And we at last must droop and die, How sweet to have a hope in heav’n! [Refrain] Scripture: Colossians 1:5 Tune Title: [When pulse beats low and cheeks grow pale]

O. S. Grinnell

1826 - 1926 Composer of "[When pulse beats low and cheeks grow pale]" in Notes of Praise Orlando S. Grinnell was better known as a preacher than a songwriter. Still, the Wayne pastor's single hymn was a hit, not for its timeless melody but for its title. In 1921, the minister wrote a hymn for his flock to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Wayne Congregational Church. Grinnell titled it "The Little Home Church by the Wayside." http://articles.chicagotribune.com/199
