Oh that day when freed from sinning
"Vain world, adieu"
Hymnal: The Minstrel of Zion #173 (1845) First Line: When for eternal worlds we steer Lyrics: 1 When for eternal worlds we steer,
And seas are calm, and skies are clear,
And faith in lively exercise,
And distant hills of Canaan rise.
The soul for joy then claps her wings,
And loud her lovely sonnet sings,
Vain world, adieu,
Vain world, adieu,
And loud her lovely sonnet sings,
Vain world, adieu.
2 With cheerful hopes her eyes explore
Each landmark on the distant shore:
The trees of life, the pastures green,
The golden streets, the crystal stream;
Again for joy she claps her wings,
And loud her lovely sonnet sings,
Vain world, adieu.
3 The nearer still she draws to land,
More eager all her powers expand;
With steady helm and free bent sail,
Her anchor drops within the vail;
Again for joy she claps her wings
And her celestial sonnet sings,
Glory to God.

William J. Kirkpatrick
1838 - 1921 Person Name: W. J. K. Arranger of "[When for the eternal worlds I steer]" in Songs of Redeeming Love No. 2 William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia.
