My Heart-Song

Author: Rev. L. Hartsough Hymnal: Beulah Songs #69 (1879) First Line: I have lov'd ones before the white throne Lyrics: 1 I have lov’d ones before the white throne, Shouting anthems of gladness and praise; I’d bathe in the glories that beam From the presence of God and the Lamb; I’d sit on the banks of the stream, And tell of that wonderful Name. 2 I’d tell of the power of sin, How fallen my soul had become; How hopeless and cheerless within, While recklessly wand’ring from home. Thus burdened with sin and its woe, My vileness was all I could see, When Jesus said, go with me, go, Thy soul from its sorrows I’ll free. 3 I gave him my poor fainting heart, And quickly salvation received; I felt his dear life in each part, As I in his mercy believed. Blessed Saviour, now seal me thine own, Thine image stamp wholly in me; My heart, be it ever thy throne, From sin keep it evermore free. 4 Henceforth this vain world must all go, Its claims I can see are but dross, For none but my Jesus I’ll know, I’ll glory alone in the cross. I am thine, blessed Jesus, all thine, The witness impart unto me; The death that I die is to sin, The life that I live is to thee. 5 Go, friends that would keep me from Him! Go, joys that would share with his love! Go, hopes that would draw me to sin, Go, all, that from him would remove! Come, sorrow, if only in thee I shall cling to my Saviour and God; Come, scorn and reproach, if left free To be drawn evermore to my Lord.

Lewis Hartsough

1828 - 1919 Person Name: Rev. L. Hartsough Author of "My Heart-Song" in Beulah Songs Hartsough, Lewis, was born at Ithaca, New York, Aug. 31, 1823. Of his hymns the following are in common use:—- 1. I hear Thy welcome voice. The Divine Invitation. 2. In the rifted Rock I'm resting. Safety in Jesus. 3. Lead me to the Rock that's higher. Safety in Jesus. 4. O who'll stand up for Jesus? All for Jesus Nos. 1-3 are in I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs & Solos, 1878 (1 and 3 with music by Hartsough). --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907) ================= Hartsough, Lewis, p. 1569, ii. Mr. Hartsough entered the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1851, and is now (1905) residing in Mount Vernon, Indiana. He was musical editor of J. Hillman's Revivalist, Troy, 1868, and co-editor of The Sacred Harmonist, Boston, 1864, and Beulah Songs, Phila., 1879. In addition to the hymns named on p. 1569, ii., "Let me go where saints are going" [Heav'n desired] (1861) has come into common use. It appeared in W. B. Bradbury's Clarion, 1867, p. 83. Concerning his hymn, "I hear Thy welcome voice," Mr. Sankey says in his My Life and Sacred Songs, 1906, p. 11(3:— The words and music of this beautiful hymn were first published in a monthly, entitled, Guide to Holiness, a copy of which was sent to me in England. I immediately adopted it, and had it published in Sacred Songs and Solos. It proved to be one of the most helpful of the revival hymns, and was often used as an invitation hymn in England and America." [Rev. L. F. Benson, D.D.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907) ================ Hartsough, Lewis. (August 31, 1823--January 1, 1919). Details of his early life are lacking. After being admitted to the Oneida, New York, Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1851 and serving several pastorates in that state, his health failed and he went to Utah where he was influential in establishing the Utah Mission, later becoming its superintendent. Upon relinquishing that position he moved to Mt. Vernon, Iowa, where he spent the remainder of his life. Bird's statement that he lived in Indiana is erroneous. He was minister of the South Street Methodist Episcopal Church, Utica, New York, when he first became associated with Joseph Hillman, who chose him to act as musical editor of The Revivalist, a gospel hymn book which went through eleven editions in five years, 1868-1872. This book had a remarkable sale and was doubtless used in more churches during the 1870s than any other of similar character. To it the Reverend Hartsough contributed, in one edition, twelve texts, fourteen tunes, and thirty arrangements of tunes, several of the latter being of the religio-folk variety which had been so popular in the early camp meetings. It is a valuable source work. "I love to think of the heavenly land" (p.1573) is by Hartsough. "I hear thy welcome voice (p.1569), originally in six four-line stanzas, with Refrain, in full S/1931; with the first three stanzas, slightly emended, Brethren/1951; with stanzas 1, 2, 3, and 5, also emended, in Hymns of the Living Faith, 1951. Writeen in 1872 with musical settings by the author, it is the only one of his many songs which has continued in use. Source: Metcalf, Frank J.
