Author: Mrs. Flora B. Harris Hymnal: Living Hymns #88 (1890) First Line: What shall separate us Lyrics: 1 What shall separate us From the love that bought us? Shall the pangs of anguish; Which the cross hath wrought us? Doubtings and distresses, Fiery trials prove us; Yet am I persuaded, None of these shall move us. Chorus: We are more than conquerors, More, yea, more; We are more than conquerors, More, yea, more; We are more than conquerors, We are more than conquerors, We are more than conquerors Thro' him that loved us. 2 Things to come or present, Whatso'er betide us,-- Life nor death shall ever From our Lord divide us; Angels, powers, dominions, These shall fall before us; Clothed in his salvation, With his banner o'er us. [Chorus] 3 Depths that are beneath us, Heights that are above us, Have no power to sunder Since he stooped to love us. Prince of our Redemption, Sons to glory bringing, Thou hast made from sinners Victors, crowned and singing. [Chorus] Scripture: 2 Chronicles 20:17 Languages: English Tune Title: [What shall separate us]

John R. Sweney

1837 - 1899 Person Name: Jno. R. Sweney Composer of "[What shall separate us]" in Living Hymns John R. Sweney (1837-1899) was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and exhibited musical abilities at an early age. At nineteen he was studying with a German music teacher, leading a choir and glee club, and performing at children’s entertainments. By twenty-two he was teaching at a school in Dover, Delaware. Soon thereafter, he was put in charge of the band of the Third Delaware Regiment of the Union Army for the duration of the Civil War. After the war, he became Professor of Music at the Pennsylvania Military Academy, and director of Sweney’s Cornet Band. He eventually earned Bachelor and Doctor of Music degrees at the Academy. Sweney began composing church music in 1871 and became well-known as a leader of large congregations. His appreciators stated “Sweney knows how to make a congregation sing” and “He had great power in arousing multitudes.” He also became director of music for a large Sunday school at the Bethany Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia of which John Wanamaker was superintendent (Wanamaker was the founder of the first major department store in Philadelphia). In addition to his prolific output of hymn melodies and other compositions, Sweney edited or co-edited about sixty song collections, many in collaboration with William J. Kirkpatrick. Sweney died on April 10, 1899, and his memorial was widely attended and included a eulogy by Wanamaker. Joe Hickerson from "Joe's Jottings #9" used by permission
