Author: Anon. Hymnal: Christ in Song #127 (1908) First Line: The great decisive day is at hand Lyrics: 1 The great decisive day is at hand, is at hand! The great decisive day is at hand; The day when Christ will come, To call his children home, And to seal the sinner's doom, is at hand, is at hand; And to seal the sinner's doom, is at hand. 2 Those who made his crown of thorns will be there, will be there! Those who made his crown of thorns will be there! Those who smote him with the reed Upon his sacred head, And made his temples bleed, will be there, will be there; And made his temples bleed, will be there. 3 Where will the sinner hide in that day, in that day? Where will the sinner hide in that day? It will be in vain to call, "Ye mountains on us fall," For his hand will find out all In that day, in that day; For his hand will find out all in that day.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "The great decisive day is at hand" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book 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.

F. E. Belden

1858 - 1945 Person Name: F. E. B. Arranger of "[The great decisive day is at hand]" in Christ in Song Belden was born in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1858. He began writing music in his late teenage years after moving to California with his family. For health reasons he later moved to Colorado. He returned to Battle Creek with his wife in the early 1880s, and there he became involved in Adventist Church publishing. F. E. Belden wrote many hymn tunes, gospel songs, and related texts in the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Belden was able to rapidly write both music and poetry together which enabled him to write a song to fit a sermon while it was still being delivered. He also wrote songs for evangelist Billy Sunday. Though Belden’s later years were marred by misunderstandings with the church leadership over his royalties, he did donate his papers and manuscripts to the church’s seminary at his death. He died on December 2, 1945 in Battle Creek, Michigan. N.N., Hymnary. Source: http://www.hymntime.com/tch/bio/b/e/l/belden_fe.htm
