Jesus Only (Kirkland)

Author: Flora Kirkland Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3279 First Line: Nothing earthly meets the longing Refrain First Line: Jesus only, Jesus only Lyrics: 1. Nothing earthly meets the longing, Nothing here can satisfy, But the love and grace of Jesus Meet and still each longing cry. Refrain Jesus only, Jesus only, Be my raptured song today; Jesus only, Jesus only, Jesus, Jesus all the way. 2. Jesus only on the mountain, When my heart with rapture thrills; Jesus only in the valley, When life’s woe my spirit fills. [Refrain] 3. O to spend each passing moment As in sight of His dear face! O to show to souls in darkness All the beauty of His grace! [Refrain] 4. Grace that saves me, grace that keeps me, Grace that helps me day by day; Faith and hope and peace renewing, Lest I falter by the way. [Refrain] 5. Jesus, Savior, Thou hast bought me, Thou hast sealed me for Thine own; Hold me, guard me, and direct me, Till Thou callest, Child, come home. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Nothing earthly meets the longing]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: William James Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Nothing earthly meets the longing]" in The Cyber Hymnal 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. Bert Polman
