The Pilgrim Song

Author: Dr. C. R. Blackall Hymnal: Songs of the Kingdom #20 (1896) First Line: Awhile o'er earth's mountains we're roaming Refrain First Line: Good morning, good morning Lyrics: 1 Awhile o’er earth’s mountains we’re roaming, Thro’ valleys adorned with green; Sometimes there are shadows and darkness, But often the golden sheen. Each cloud has a silver-bright lining, The gloom cannot last alway; And soon will come happy tomorrow, Unfolding the perfect day; And soon will come happy tomorrow, Unfolding the perfect day. Refrain: Good morning, good morning, We’ll say to each other in glory, Good morning, good morning, We’ll say in the Home Land above. 2 We traverse the land and the ocean, With burdens oft hard to bear, And trusting the hand of our Father, We rest in His loving care. Thro’ winter and summer we journey, His mercies attend our way; Yet often we long for the morrow, That heralds the perfect day; Yet often we long for the morrow, That heralds the perfect day. [Refrain] 3 As pilgrims we travel earth’s highways, In paths that the Master trod; His presence, so tender and loving; Gives light from the throne of God. Then may we be joyful abiding In Jesus our strength and stay; Whenever He wills it the morrow Shall bring in the perfect day; Whenever He wills it the morrow Shall bring in the perfect day. [Refrain] Topics: Faith and Trust; Guidance; Heaven Scripture: Isaiah 26:4 Languages: English Tune Title: [Awhile o'er earth's mountains we're roaming]

W. Howard Doane

1832 - 1915 Person Name: W. H. Doane Composer of "[Awhile o'er earth's mountains we're roaming]" in Songs of the Kingdom An industrialist and philanthropist, William H. Doane (b. Preston, CT, 1832; d. South Orange, NJ, 1915), was also a staunch supporter of evangelistic campaigns and a prolific writer of hymn tunes. He was head of a large woodworking machinery plant in Cincinnati and a civic leader in that city. He showed his devotion to the church by supporting the work of the evangelistic team of Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey and by endowing Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and Denison University in Granville, Ohio. An amateur composer, Doane wrote over twenty-two hundred hymn and gospel song tunes, and he edited over forty songbooks. Bert Polman ============ Doane, William Howard, p. 304, he was born Feb. 3, 1832. His first Sunday School hymn-book was Sabbath Gems published in 1861. He has composed about 1000 tunes, songs, anthems, &c. He has written but few hymns. Of these "No one knows but Jesus," "Precious Saviour, dearest Friend," and "Saviour, like a bird to Thee," are noted in Burrage's Baptist Hymn Writers. 1888, p. 557. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907) =================== Doane, W. H. (William Howard), born in Preston, Connecticut, 1831, and educated for the musical profession by eminent American and German masters. He has had for years the superintendence of a large Baptist Sunday School in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he resides. Although not a hymnwriter, the wonderful success which has attended his musical setting of numerous American hymns, and the number of his musical editions of hymnbooks for Sunday Schools and evangelistic purposes, bring him within the sphere of hymnological literature. Amongst his collections we have:— (1) Silver Spray, 1868; (2) Pure Gold, 1877; (3) Royal Diadem, 1873; (4) Welcome Tidings, 1877; (5) Brightest and Best, 1875; (6) Fountain of Song; (7) Songs of Devotion, 1870; (8) Temple Anthems, &c. His most popular melodies include "Near the Cross," "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," "Pass me Not," "More Love to Thee," "Rescue the Perishing," "Tell me the Old, Old Story," &c. - John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
