Author: Henrietta O. Dobree Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6296 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1. Safely, safely, gathered in, Far from sorrow, far from sin, No more childish griefs or fears, No more sadness, no more tears; For the life so young and fair Now hath passed from earthly care; God Himself the soul will keep, Giving His belovèd—sleep. 2. Safely, safely, gathered in, Far from sorrow, far from sin, Passed beyond all grief and pain, Death for thee is truest gain; For our loss we must not weep, Nor our loved ones long to keep From the home of rest and peace, Where all sin and sorrow cease. 3. Safely, safely, gathered in, Far from sorrow, far from sin, God has saved from weary strife, In its dawn, this fresh young life; Now it waits for us above, Resting in the Savior’s love; Jesu, grant that we may meet There, adoring, at Thy feet.

William Henry Monk

1823 - 1889 Composer of "SAFELY, SAFELY" in The Cyber Hymnal William H. Monk (b. Brompton, London, England, 1823; d. London, 1889) is best known for his music editing of Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861, 1868; 1875, and 1889 editions). He also adapted music from plainsong and added accompaniments for Introits for Use Throughout the Year, a book issued with that famous hymnal. Beginning in his teenage years, Monk held a number of musical positions. He became choirmaster at King's College in London in 1847 and was organist and choirmaster at St. Matthias, Stoke Newington, from 1852 to 1889, where he was influenced by the Oxford Movement. At St. Matthias, Monk also began daily choral services with the choir leading the congregation in music chosen according to the church year, including psalms chanted to plainsong. He composed over fifty hymn tunes and edited The Scottish Hymnal (1872 edition) and Wordsworth's Hymns for the Holy Year (1862) as well as the periodical Parish Choir (1840-1851). Bert Polman
