I'll Feed On Husks No Mere

Author: Henry H. Hadley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10346 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 D First Line: O’er squandered wealth and wasted years Lyrics: 1 O’er squandered wealth and wasted years, In sin and folly past, A wretched, starving prodigal Awoke to mourn at last. He pressed his weary, throbbing brow, And through his tears he said, "I spurned the home I might have shared And now I starve for bread." Refrain: I will arise and go at once, My Father’s love implore, Confess my wrong, His pardon seek, And feed on husks no more. 2 Forsaken, friendless, clothed in rags, And poor as poor can be, To lowest menial service brought, A tyrant’s slave was he; He turned disgusted from the swine That he so long had fed; "I can not from my Father stay," With firm resolve he said. [Refrain] 3 "I thought the world was what I dreamed, My heart obeyed its call; But now I find its fleeting joys Are wormwood after all." Be warned, oh gay and thoughtless ones, That to the whirlwind sow, Let’s hasten back to Father now, He’s coming; let us go. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: HOUSE SPRINGS

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: William James Kirkpatrick Composer of "HOUSE SPRINGS" 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
