Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: Uplifted Voices #131 (1901) First Line: How many sad partings we have on earth's shore Refrain First Line: Home, home, sweet, sweet home Lyrics: 1 How many sad partings we have on earth’s shore, Yet there is a country where friends part no more; There from those who love us no more will we roam, No more sad farewells when we all meet at home. Refrain: Home, home, sweet, sweet home, In mansions of glory we’ll all meet at home. 2 There death cannot enter to spread his alarms, Our dear ones of earth are not torn from our arms; No more the pale boatman will sail o’er the foam To bear us away, when we all meet at home. [Refrain] 3 Why should these brief partings bring tears to our eyes? We’ll soon be united to dwell in the skies; With joy we will gather above yonder dome, And make heaven ring when we all meet at home. [Refrain] 4 There Christ is preparing a mansion so fair, And soon He will call us to dwell with Him there; With joy we will go when we hear Him say “come,” To dwell evermore in that beautiful home. [Refrain] Tune Title: [How many sad partings we have on earth's shore]

Johnson Oatman, Jr.

1856 - 1922 Person Name: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Author of "We’ll All Meet at Home" in Uplifted Voices Johnson Oatman, Jr., son of Johnson and Rachel Ann Oatman, was born near Medford, N. J., April 21, 1856. His father was an excellent singer, and it always delighted the son to sit by his side and hear him sing the songs of the church. Outside of the usual time spent in the public schools, Mr. Oatman received his education at Herbert's Academy, Princetown, N. J., and the New Jersey Collegiate Institute, Bordentown, N. J. At the age of nineteen he joined the M.E. Church, and a few years later he was granted a license to preach the Gospel, and still later he was regularly ordained by Bishop Merrill. However, Mr. Oatman only serves as a local preacher. For many years he was engaged with his father in the mercantile business at Lumberton, N. J., under the firm name of Johnson Oatman & Son. Since the death of his father, he has for the past fifteen years been in the life insurance business, having charge of the business of one of the great companies in Mt. Holly, N. J., where he resides. He has written over three thousand hymns, and no gospel song book is considered as being complete unless it contains some of his hymns. In 1878 he married Wilhelmina Reid, of Lumberton, N.J. and had three children, Rachel, Miriam, and Percy. Excerpted from Biography of Gospel Song and Hymn Writers by Jacob Henry Hall; Fleming H. Revell, Co. 1914
