In Summerland

Author: W. B. Williams Hymnal: Northfield Hymnal No. 3 #363 (1918) First Line: The sun will never set Lyrics: 1 The sun will never set In Summerland; No eyes with tears are wet In Summerland; No shades of dark’ning night Will shut the view from sight, Nor e’er becloud the light, In Summerland. 2 No one will lose the way In Summerland; Nor ever go astray In Summerland; No mountain hard to climb, Yet all is grand, sublime, With endless summer clime, In Summerland. 3 No death is ever known In Summerland; For life is on the throne In Summerland; No mourning for the dead, No heavy hearts, like lead, But endless joy instead, In Summerland.

Frederick Alexander Mann

1844 - 1903 Person Name: F. A. Mann Composer of "ST. MARGARET" in Redemption Songs See his obituary in The Musical Herald, May 1, 1903. The hymnal Hymns of Prayer and Praise (1921) confirms these birth and death dates, in addition to his composing hymn tunes as listed here. Not to be confused with Frederick Mann, 1846-1928. --Tina Schneider, 01 July 2014. ======================= Mr. F. A. Mann was the musical director of the children’s Home at Victoria Park. He possessed a find conception for music; he gave a “reading” and interpretation to everything he touched, even to a children’s hymn. He composed but little; probably his reserve in this respect was due to his high ideals and his reverence for the great masters. For nineteen years F. A. Mann practiced the musical profession at Lowestoft. Here he was organist successively of the Parish Church of St. Margaret, and of the church at Kirkley. His power as a choir-trainer was soon discovered by other churches, including nonconformists, and by the help of deputies he managed to train three or four choirs abreast. For fourteen years he devoted himself to training the choir of children belonging to the Children’s Home. Mr. Mann understood children; his poetic musical instinct drew forth their powers; he interested them and they needed no spur.
