Hymnal: The Little Minstrel #40 (1867) First Line: Be not swift to take offense Lyrics: 1 Be not swift to take offense,
Let it pass, let it pass;
Anger is a foe to sense,
Let it pass, let it pass.
Brood not darkly o'er a wrong,
Which will disappear ere long;
Brood not darkly o'er a wrong,
which will disappear ere long,
Rather sing this cheery song,
Let it pass, let it pass.
2 Strike corrodes the purest mind,
Let it pass, let it pass;
As the unregarded wind,
Let it pass, let it pass.
Any vulgar souls that live,
May condemn without reprieve,
'Tis the noble who forgive,
'Tis the noble who forgive,
Rather sing this cheery song,
Let it pass, let it pass.
3 Echo not an angry word,
Let it pass, let it pass;
Think how often you have erred,
Let it pass, let it pass.
Since our joys must pass away,
Like the dew-drop on the spray;
Wherefore should our sorrows stay,
Wherefore should out sorrows stay;
Rather sing this cheery song,
Let it pass, let it pass.
4 Bid your anger to depart,
Let it pass, let it pass;
Lay those homely words to heart,
Let it pass, let it pass.
Follow not the giddy throng,
Better to be wronged than wrong;
Better to be wronged than wrong,
Therefore sing this cheery song.
Therefore sing this cheery song,
Let it pass, let it pass. Languages: English Tune Title: [Be not swift to take offense]

S. J. Vail
1818 - 1884 Composer of "[Be not swift to take offence]" in Hymns of the Advent In his youth Silas Jones Vail learned the hatter's trade at Danbury, Ct. While still a young man, he went to New York and took employment in the fashionable hat store of William H. Beebe. Later he established himself in business as a hatter at 118 Fulton Street, where he was for many years successful. But the conditions of trade changed, and he could not change with them. After his failure in 1869 or 1870 he devoted his entire time and attention to music. He was the writer of much popular music for use in churches and Sunday schools. Pieces of music entitled "Scatter Seeds of Kindness," "Gates Ajar," "Close to Thee," "We Shall Sleep, but not Forever," and "Nothing but Leaves" were known to all church attendants twenty years ago. Fanny Crosby, the blind authoress, wrote expressly for him many of the verses he set to music.
--Vail, Henry H. (Henry Hobart). Genealogy of some of the Vail family descended from Jeremiah Vail at Salem, Mass., 1639, p. 234.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Merrily, cheerily sing this song" in The Sunday School Hymnary In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
