Sin no More
Author: C. C. McCabe Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: When did ever words so tender Lyrics: 1 When did ever words so tender
Fall on mortal ears before,
As the blessed words of Jesus,—
“Go thy way, and sin nor more.”
Pardoned! oh, that word of rapture!
As I knelt at Mercy’s door,
Burdened with my sin and sorrow,—
“Go thy way, and sin no more.”
2 Jesus spake, and then the power
Of his great salvation came;
All the bonds of sin were broken:
Glory! glory! to his name.
“Rise, forgiven, O child of sorrow;
Rise, for lo! thy light hath come;
Put thy beauteous garments on thee;
Take thy staff, and journey home.”
3 “I will know the way thou takest
Till thou stand on Canaan’s shore;
Never, never will I leave thee;
Go thy way, and sin no more.”
“From the world I will not take thee
Till the battle strife is o’er;
From its evil I will keep thee;
Go thy way, and sin no more.”
4 O the fight! I’ve learned to love it,
For the victory is mine;
In the cross of Christ I glory,
Triumphing in love divine.
O the dawn of heaven’s glory!
O the day that has no night!
O the sun that finds no zenith!
O the host in raiment bright!
5 Oh, the King who dwells among them
In his beauty I shall see;
Heav’n shall ring with loud hosannas
Unto him who died for me.
But, ‘mid all the joys of heaven,
I will ne’er forget the hour
When my Saviour said “Forgiven!
Go thy way, and sin no more.” Used With Tune: [When did ever words so tender]

William J. Kirkpatrick
1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[When did ever words so tender]" in The Ark of Praise 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.

C. C. McCabe
1836 - 1906 Author of "Sin no More" in The Ark of Praise Charles Cardwell McCabe’s story begins during the Civil War when at age 25 he was appointed chaplain of the 122nd Regiment of Ohio Volunteers. He read in The Atlantic Julia Ward Howe’s “Battle Hymn of the Republic” fit to the popular marching tune “John Brown’s body” and immediately taught it to his regiment. As they moved out to Virginia and became part of a larger Union regiment they took The Battle Hymn with them. Captured and sent to Libby Prison in Richmond, he led the prisoners on the long 150 mile march in singing The Battle Hymn to raise their spirits and maintain morale. Under terrible prison conditions they sang; people remembered standing outside the prison to listen. At the news of Lee’s defeat McCabe again led all the prisoners in singing “national airs”. He contracted typhoid, and when prisoners were exchanged at Fortress Monroe, VA he weighed less than 100 pounds. After prison he worked as a fund raiser for the U.S. Christian Commission in Washington. He often officiated at four or five church services around Washington camps and hospitals, sometimes walking ten miles. He told of refusing an invitation to a white folks’ church so he could preach to a congregation of former slaves where he gave to the choir copies of the Battle Hymn. On Feb. 2, 1864 he attended a meeting of the House of Representatives for a celebration of the second anniversary of the Christian Commission which Lincoln attended. When McCabe led the singing of the Battle Hymn Lincoln was so moved that he asked for it to be sung again. McCabe attended Lincoln’s funeral in Springfield, IL and was asked to sing the Battle Hymn there. After the war McCabe was appointed to Spencer Chapel in Portsmouth, OH and became a major fundraiser for his alma mater [Ohio] Wesleyan University’s endowment fund. For forty years he lectured throughout the country as Secretary of the Church Extension Society. In 1896 he was elected to the Methodist episcopacy, unofficially named “The Singing Bishop”. He died after suffering a stroke Dec. 19, 1906.
