Jesus is there, Where sorrow and partings ne’er come; Jesus, my Saviour, is there, And I long to be with Him at home. 2 O, have you not heard of that city so bright, That our Saviour has gone to prepare; There no gloom ever comes, nor darkness of night, And the saved of the Lord are all there?

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: W. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[O, have you not heard of that city of light]" in Gospel Praise Book. 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
