Author: George W. Doane Hymnal: The Ark of Praise #36 (1882) First Line: Broken hearted, weep no more Lyrics: 1 Broken hearted, weep no more! Hear what comfort he hath spoken, Smoking flax who ne’er hath quench’d, Bruised reed, who ne’er hath broken:— Ye who wander here below, Heavy-laden as you go; Come, with grief and sin oppressed, Come to me and be at rest; Come, with grief and sin oppressed, Come to me and be at rest. 2 Lamb of Jesus’ blood-bought flock, Brought again from sin and straying, Hear the Shepherd’s gentle voice,— ‘Tis a true and faithful saying; Greater love how can there be, Than to yield up life for thee? Bought with pang, and tear and sigh, Turn and live; why will ye die? Bought with pang, and tear and sigh, Turn and live; why will ye die? 3 Broken hearted, weep no more; Far from consolation flying; He who calls hath felt thy wound, Seen thy weeping, heard thy sighing; Bring thy broken heart to me; Welcome off’ring it shall be; Streaming tears and bursting sighs, Mine accepted sacrifice; Streaming tears and bursting sighs, Mine accepted sacrifice.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Comfort He Hath Spoken" in The Quartet In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

John R. Sweney

1837 - 1899 Person Name: Jno. R. Sweney Composer of "[Broken hearted, weep no more]" in The Ark of Praise John R. Sweney (1837-1899) was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and exhibited musical abilities at an early age. At nineteen he was studying with a German music teacher, leading a choir and glee club, and performing at children’s entertainments. By twenty-two he was teaching at a school in Dover, Delaware. Soon thereafter, he was put in charge of the band of the Third Delaware Regiment of the Union Army for the duration of the Civil War. After the war, he became Professor of Music at the Pennsylvania Military Academy, and director of Sweney’s Cornet Band. He eventually earned Bachelor and Doctor of Music degrees at the Academy. Sweney began composing church music in 1871 and became well-known as a leader of large congregations. His appreciators stated “Sweney knows how to make a congregation sing” and “He had great power in arousing multitudes.” He also became director of music for a large Sunday school at the Bethany Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia of which John Wanamaker was superintendent (Wanamaker was the founder of the first major department store in Philadelphia). In addition to his prolific output of hymn melodies and other compositions, Sweney edited or co-edited about sixty song collections, many in collaboration with William J. Kirkpatrick. Sweney died on April 10, 1899, and his memorial was widely attended and included a eulogy by Wanamaker. Joe Hickerson from "Joe's Jottings #9" used by permission
