Sweetly the holy hymn
Are There No Years In Heaven?
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Are there no years in Heaven?
No change of day and night?
No rolling seasons’ varied hues
To mark time’s onward flight?
2 No: Time itself must fade,
And New Years’ Days shall cease,
When all God’s children meet on high,
To hail the Prince of Peace.
3 His realm is endless rest,
And perfect holiness!
No cares shall cloud, no sorrow dim
That home of loveliness.
4 In His great name we raise
Our New Year’s song to Heaven;
To praise our Father’s boundless love,
And ask to be forgiven.
5 Savior, be Thou our trust,
Our daily, hourly friend;
Unite our hearts in love to Thee—
The love which knows no end.
6 So may our lives on earth
Made happy by Thy grace,
Be foretastes of a fairer home—
A heavenly dwelling place. Used With Tune: SOUTHPORT Text Sources: New Standard Singer, by Phillip Phillips (New York: Philip Phillips & Company, 1868)

Are There No Years In Heaven?
C. H. Spurgeon
1834 - 1892 Person Name: Charles Haddon Spurgeon, 1834-92 Author of "Sweetly the holy hymn" in The Methodist Hymn-Book with Tunes Spurgeon, Charles Haddon, the world-famous preacher, was born June 19, 1834, at Kelvedon, in Essex, where his father was Congregational minister. He was educated at Colchester, and at an Agricultural College at Maidstone, after which he was for a few years usher in schools at Newmarket and Cambridge. In 1851 he became minister of a small Baptist church at Waterbeach, near Cambridge, and soon attained great popularity. In 1854 he removed to New Park Street, London, the place where Drs. Gill and Rippon had formerly ministered, and ere long the thronging of people to hear him led, first, to the temporary occupation of Exeter Hall, and of the Surrey Music Hall, and then to the erection of the great Metropolitan Tabernacle, where he still ministers.
Mr. Spurgeon is chiefly known as a preacher and as the author of many vols. of sermons, expositions, and other homiletical literature; but he is also a hymn writer, and the compiler of a well-known hymn book. This book was prepared, in 1866, primarily for the use of the congregation at the Tabernacle. Hence its title Our Own Hymnbook, a collection of Psalms & Hymns for public, social, and private worship. It contains 220 versions of the Psalms, and 910 hymns. Of Mr. Spurgeon's contributions noted below, only one, "Sweetly the holy hymn," can be regarded as possessing any particular merit. The others do not rise above respectable mediocrity. His psalm-versions and hymns, all dated 1866, are:—
1. Amidst us our Beloved stands. Holy Communion.
2. Behold, O Lord, my days are made. Ps. xxxix.
3. Blessed is the man that feareth. Ps. cxii.
4. Here, O ye faithful, see. Holy Baptism.
5. I will exalt Thee, Lord of hosts. Ps. xxx.
6. Jesus, poorest of the poor. Ps. xli.
7. Lord, I would dwell with Thee. Ps. xv.
8. Lord, make my conversation chaste. Ps. lxviii.
9. Lord, Thy church without a pastor. Election of a Minister.
10. Make haste, O Lord, my soul to bless. Ps. lxx.
11. O God, be Thou no longer still. Ps. lxxxiii.
12. O God, Thou hast cast off Thy saints. Ps. lx.
13. Our ears have heard, O glorious God. Ps. xliv.
14. Praise the Lord with exultation, My whole heart, &c. Ps. cxi.
15. Risen Lord, Thou hast received. Election of a Minister.
16. Sweetly the holy hymn. Prayer Meetings.
17. The foes of Zion quake for fright. Ps. liii.
18. The Holy Ghost is here. Prayer.
19. The Kings of earth are in the hands. Ps. lxxxii.
20. Thy strength, 0 Lord, makes glad our King. Ps. xxi.
In addition to these Mr. Spurgeon re-wrote or added to the hymns of others, as "Come ye who bow to sovereign grace"; "Great King of Zion, now"; "O God, before whose radiant throne"; and "Woe's me that I in Mesech am"; and composed two Graces for before, and two for after Meat. [Rev. W. R. Stevenson, M.A.]

Small Church Music
Editors: C. H. Spurgeon 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.
Copyright notice: Rev. Clyde McLennan, performer in this collection, has assigned his performer rights in this collection to Hymnary.org. Non-commercial use of these recordings is permitted. For permission to use them for any other purposes, please contact manager@hymnary.org.
