"O THINK OF THE HOME OVER THERE."

A hymn of Rev. D.W.C. Huntington, suggested by Ps. 55:6. It was a
favorite from the first.

Rev. DeWitt Clinton Huntington was born at Townshend, Vt., Apr. 27,
1830. He graduated at the Syracuse University, and received the degrees
of D.D. and LL.D. from Genesee College. Preacher, instructor and
author--Removed to Lincoln, Nebraska.

O think of the home over there,
By the side of the river of light,
Where the saints all immortal and fair
Are robed in their garments of white.
Over there, (_rep_)

O think of the friends over there,
Who before us the journey have trod,
Of the songs that they breathe on the air,
In their home in the palace of God.
Over there. (_rep_)

_THE TUNE._

The melody was composed by Tullius Clinton O'Kane, born in Delaware, O.,
March 10, 1830, a hymnist and musician. It is a flowing tune, with sweet
chords, and something of the fugue feature in the chorus as an
accessory. The voices of a multitude in full concord make a building
tremble with it.

"WHEN JESUS COMES."

Down life's dark vale we wander
Till Jesus comes;
We watch and wait and wonder
Till Jesus comes.

Both words and music are by Mr. Bliss. A relative of his family, J.S.
Ellsworth, says the song was written in Peoria, Illinois, in 1872, and
was suggested by a conversation on the second coming of Christ, a
subject very near his heart. The thought lingered in his mind, and as he
came down from his room, soon after, the verses and notes came to him
simultaneously on the stairs. Singing them over, he seized pencil and
paper, and in a few minutes fixed hymn and tune in the familiar harmony
so well known.

No more heart-pangs nor sadness
When Jesus comes;
All peace and joy and gladness
When Jesus comes.

The choral abounds in repetition, and is half refrain, but among all
Gospel Hymns remarkable for their tone-delivery this is unsurpassed in
the swing of its rhythm.

All joy his loved ones bringing
When Jesus comes.
All praise thro' heaven ringing
When Jesus comes.
All beauty bright and vernal
When Jesus comes.
All glory grand, eternal
When Jesus comes.

"TO THE WORK, TO THE WORK."

One of Fanny Crosby's most animating hymns--with Dr. W.H. Doane's full
part harmony to re-enforce it
