The Master Has Come Over Jordan

Author: Julia Gill Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9287 Meter: 9.8.9.8 D First Line: "The Master has come over Jordan" Lyrics: 1 "The Master has come over Jordan," Said Hannah, the mother, one day, "He is healing the people who throng Him, With a touch of His finger, they say; And now I shall carry the children— Little Rachel, and Samuel, and John, And dear little Esther, the baby, For the Master to look upon." 2 The father then looked at her kindly, And said, as he tenderly smiled, "Now who but a fond loving mother Would think of a project so wild? If the children were tortured by demons, Or dying with fever, ’twere well; Or had they taint of the leper, Like many around us who dwell." 3 "Nay, nay, do not hinder me, Nathan, I feel such a burden of care; And if to the Master I tell it, That burden He’ll help me to bear; If He but lays His hands on the children, My heart will be lighter, I know, For a blessing for ever and ever Will follow them each as they go." 4 So, over the mountains of Judah, Along with the vines all so green, With Esther asleep on her bosom, And Rachel her brothers between; With the people who hung on His teaching, Or waited His touch or His word; Through the row of proud Pharisees hastening, She pressed to the feet of the Lord. 5 "Now, why shouldst thou hinder the Master," Said Peter, "with children like these? Thou knowest from morn until evening He is teaching and healing disease." Said Jesus: "Forbid not the children, Permit them to come unto Me!" Then He took in His arms little Esther, And Rachel He sat on His knee. 6 The care-stricken heart of the mother Was lifted all sorrow above; His hands kindly laid on the children, He blest them with holiest love; And said of the babes on His bosom, "Of such are the kingdom of Heaven." Then the strength for all duty and trial, That hour to her spirit was given. Languages: English Tune Title: CAYMAN

Born at York, ME, he was raised on his father's farm, with rainy days spent in a shoe-shop, the custom in those days. He loved music and spent spare hours practicing any music he could find. In 1830 the family moved to Boston, where he first saw and heard an organ and piano, and other instruments. He became an organist at 15. He attended Dr. Lowell Mason's singing classes, and later sang in the Bowdoin Street church choir. Dr. Mason became a good friend. He made $100/yr playing the organ, and was still in Dr. Mason's choir. Dr. Mason gave him a chance to teach singing in Machias, ME, which he accepted. He returned to Boston the following year to marry Adra Esther Fessenden in 1838, then relocated to Saint John, New Brunswick. Where his efforts were not much appreciated, so he returned to Boston. He was offered charge of music and organ at the First Baptist Church of Brooklyn. That led to similar work at the Baptist Tabernacle, New York City, where he also started a singing class. That started singing schools in various parts of the city, and eventually resulted in music festivals, held at the Broadway Tabernacle, a prominent city event. He conducted a 1000 children choir there, which resulted in music being taught as regular study in public schools of the city. He began writing music and publishing it. In 1847 he went with his wife to Europe to study with some of the music masters in London and also Germany. He attended Mendelssohn funeral while there. He went to Switzerland before returning to the states, and upon returning, commenced teaching, conducting conventions, composing, and editing music books. In 1851, with his brother, Edward, he began manufacturring Bradbury pianos, which became popular. Also, he had a small office in one of his warehouses in New York and often went there to spend time in private devotions. As a professor, he edited 59 books of sacred and secular music, much of which he wrote. He attended the Presbyterian church in Bloomfield, NJ, for many years later in life. He contracted tuberculosis the last two years of his life. John Perry
