Blair Hymnal: The Finest of the Wheat No. 2 #201 (1894) First Line: I have learned the sweetest song Lyrics: 1 I have learned the sweetest song, Ever breathed by mortal tongue; And my heart has sung it long, Precious Jesus! Oh, the well of joy that springs, And the constant peace it brings; While my heart with rapture sings, Precious Jesus! Precious Jesus! Precious Jesus! How my heart with rapture sings, Precious Jesus! 2 Tho’ the storms of sorrow fall, While His mercy I recall, I can sing above them all, Precious Jesus! IN the deepest shades of night, Still my soul is full of light; With His presence all is bright, Precious Jesus! Precious Jesus! Precious Jesus! With His presence all is bright, Precious Jesus! 3 When I reach the glory land, And before His throne I stand, I will sing with harp in hand, Precious Jesus! When His face I there shall see, And His welcome smile to me; Still my sweetest song will be, Precious Jesus Precious Jesus! Precious Jesus! Still my sweetest song will be, Precious Jesus!

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[I have learned the sweetest song]" in The Finest of the Wheat No. 2 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
