Huntington Appears in 466 hymnals Topics: Heaven and Eternity First Line: O think of the home over there Refrain First Line: Over there, over there Lyrics: 1 O think of a home over there, By the side of the river of light, Where the saints, all immortal and fair, Are robed in their garments of white. Over there, over there, O think of a home over there, Over there, over there, over there, O think of a home over there. 2 O think of the friends over there, Who before us the journey have trod, Of the songs that they breathe on the air, In their home in the palace of God. Over there, over there, O think of the friends over there, Over there, over there, over there, O think of the friends over there, 3 My Saviour is now over there, There my kindred and friends are at rest, Then away from my sorrow and care Let me fly to the land of the blest. Over there, over there, My Saviour is now over there, Over there, over there, over there, My Saviour is now over there. 4 I'll soon be at home over there, For the end of my journey I see, Many dear to my heart, over there, Are watching and waiting for me. Over there, over there, I'll soon be at home over there, Over there, over there, over there, I'll soon be at home over there. Used With Tune: [O think of the home over there]

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

Joseph Haydn

1732 - 1809 Person Name: Franz Joseph Haydn, 1732-1809 Topics: Heaven and Eternity Composer of "AUSTRIAN HYMN" in Rejoice Hymns Franz Joseph Haydn (b. Rohrau, Austria, 1732; d. Vienna, Austria, 1809) Haydn's life was relatively uneventful, but his artistic legacy was truly astounding. He began his musical career as a choirboy in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, spent some years in that city making a precarious living as a music teacher and composer, and then served as music director for the Esterhazy family from 1761 to 1790. Haydn became a most productive and widely respected composer of symphonies, chamber music, and piano sonatas. In his retirement years he took two extended tours to England, which resulted in his "London" symphonies and (because of G. F. Handel's influence) in oratorios. Haydn's church music includes six great Masses and a few original hymn tunes. Hymnal editors have also arranged hymn tunes from various themes in Haydn's music. Bert Polman
