Author: Anon. Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a world to come, Blessed and pure; It is the Christian's home, Long to endure. O 'tis a world most bright, No more death, nor woe, nor night, Faith views it with delight, Knowing 'tis sure. 2 There Jesus Christ shall reign, All glorious King! There music's rapturous strain Ever will ring: Saints, who in ages by, Suffered, and were called to die, There in sweet harmony, Anthems will sing. 3 O, 'twill be paradise, Eden restored; All beauteous in their eyes Who love the word: Wastes, that are now so drear, Like the rose shall blossom there, And be a garden fair, As saith the Lord. 4 There life's unfading tree Will bloom most fair, And immortality Its leaves shall bear; While a pure stream will flow, And a joy no mortals know Will to each soul bestow Who enters there. 5 O, that bright world to come! Tongue cannot tell How blessed is the home Where saints will dwell; Turn then from sin away, And the word of God obey, Then at the last great day, All will be well.

R. E. Winsett

1876 - 1952 Person Name: R. E. W. Arranger of "The Happy Land" in Songs of the Kingdom Robert Emmett Winsett (January 15, 1876 — June 26, 1952 (aged 76) was an American composer and publisher of Gospel music. Winsett was born in Bledsoe County, Tennessee, and graduated from the Bowman Normal School of Music in 1899. He founded his own publishing company in 1903, and his first publication, Winsett's Favorite Songs, quickly became popular among the Baptist and Pentecostal churches of the American South. Pentecostal Power followed in 1907; that year Winsett completed postgraduate work at a conservatory. He married Birdie Harris in 1908, and had three sons and two daughters with her. He settled in Fort Smith, Arkansas, continuing to compose gospel songs, of which he would write over 1,000 in total. He became a minister in 1923, and was affiliated with the Church of God (Seventh Day). Birdie Harris died late in the 1920s, and shortly thereafter Winsett moved back to Tennessee. He founded a new company in Chattanooga, and published more shape note music books. He remarried, to Mary Ruth Edmonton, in 1930, and had three further children. Winsett's final publication, Best of All (1951), sold over 1 million copies, and in total his books sold over ten million copies. His song "Jesus Is Coming Soon" won a Dove Award for Gospel Song of the Year at the 1969 awards. He has been inducted into the Southern Gospel Museum and Hall of Fame. --www.wikipedia.org

Anonymous

Person Name: Unknown Author of "The Happy Land" in His Fullness 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: Andrew Young Description: 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. 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) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs.
