Will You Go?
Author: Anon. Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6 Appears in 254 hymnals First Line: We're marching on to heav'n above Lyrics: 1 We’re marching on to heav’n above,
Will you go? Will you go?
To sing the Saviour’s dying love—
Will you go? Will you go?
Millions have reach'd that blissful shore,
Their trials and their labours o'er,
And yet there's room for millions more—
Will you go? Will you go?
2 The way to heav'n is strait, but plain,
Will you come? Will you come?
Repent, believe, be born again,
Will you come? Will you come?
Christ offers pardon free to all,
Who will accept His loving call,
And at His feet repentant fall—
Will you come? Will you come?
3 How blessed 'tis to serve Him here!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Redeem'd from ev'ry doubt and fear,
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Tho' tribulation cross our way,
Affliction or adversity,
Yet Jesus saves us ev'ry day,
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
4 And when our day of fighting's o'er;
Home at last! Home at last!
We'll praise Him on the other shore,
Home at last! Home at last!
We'll join again in songs of praise
With those who see the Master's face,
And ever sing redeeming grace—
Home at last! Home at last! Topics: The Gospel Used With Tune: BETTER WORLD

My Savior hath done all things well,
And triumphed over death and hell—

And now, with joy, at God’s command,
You’re marching to the better land—
That’s the news! that’s the news! Used With Tune: NEWS

There Is a Better World
Author: John Lyth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6743 First Line: There is a better world, they say Lyrics: 1. There is a better world, they say
O so bright! O so bright!
Where sin and woe are done away,
O so bright! O so bright!
And music fills the balmy air,
And angels with bright wings are there,
And harps of gold and mansions fair,
O so bright! O so bright!
2. No clouds e’er pass along that sky,
Happy land! Happy land!
No tear drops glisten in the eye,
Happy land! Happy land!
They drink the gushing streams of grace,
And gaze upon the Savior’s face
Whose brightness fills the holy place;
Happy land! Happy land!
3. And wicked things and beasts of prey,
Come not there! Come not there!
And ruthless death and fierce decay,
Come not there! Come not there!
There all are holy, all are good,
But hearts unwashed in Jesus’ blood,
And guilty sinners unrenewed,
Come not there! Come not there!
4. And though we’re sinners every one,
Jesus died! Jesus died!
And though our crown of peace is gone,
Jesus died! Jesus died!
We may be cleansed from every stain,
We may be crowned with bliss again,
And in that land of glory reign;
Jesus died! Jesus died! Languages: English Tune Title: [There is a better world, they say]

Hymnal: The Little Minstrel #66 (1867) First Line: There is a better world they say Lyrics: 1 There is a better world they say,
O, so bright! O, so bright!
Where sin and woe are done away,
O, so bright! O, so bright!
There music fills the balmy air,
And angels with bright wings are there.
And harps of gold and mansions fair,
O, so bright! O, so bright!
2 No clouds e'er pass along its sky,
Happy land, happy land!
No tear-drops glisten in the eye,
Happy land, happy land!
They drink the gushing streams of grace,
And gaze upon the Savior's face,
Where brightness fills the holy place,
Happy land, happy land!
3 But though we're sinners every one,
Jesus died, Jesus died!
And though our crown of peace is gone,
Jesus died, Jesus died!
We may be cleansed from every stain,
We may be crowned with bliss again,
And in that land of pleasure reign,
Jesus died, Jesus died!
4 Then parents, brother, sisters, come,
Come away, come away!
We long to reach our Father's home.
Come away, come away!
O come, the time is fleeting past,
And men and things are fading fast,
Our time will surely come at last,
Come away, come away!
5 This world is oft so dark and drear,
Take us there, take us there!
We ne'er can be so happy here,
Take us there, take us there!
O listen to that music sweet,
It comes so rich from yonder seat,
Where all the good in glory meet,
Take us there, take us there! Languages: English Tune Title: [There is a better world they say]

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Will You Go?" in Redemption Songs 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.

Small Church Music
Editors: Howard Kingsbury Description:
History
The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset
of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano
with organ versions.
About the Recordings All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs.
