Hail! happy day, hail! holy rest

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1359 (1886) First Line: I'm going home; the tidings come Lyrics: 1 I'm going home; the tidings come, And sweetly fall upon my ear; A little longer here I'll roam, And then my Saviour will appear. Chorus: Hail! happy day, hail! holy rest, Hail! angels, saints, and Saviour too; I'm going home, ye sighs and tears, I bid you now a long adieu. 2 I'm going home; this wilderness Growing brighter when my mind recalls The glorious mansions ready made, Within fair Zion's jasper walls. [Chorus] 3 I'm going home, and cold, pale death Has lot its terrors, since I know My long-lost friends shall meet me there, Where life's fair tree shall ever grow. [Chorus] 4 I'm going home, I'm going home, My heart leaps high while thus I sing; O happy day! it soon will come, And I shall see our glorious King. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Songs Reward of Saints Scripture: Isaiah 51:11 Tune Title: GOING HOME

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Hail! happy day, hail! holy rest" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book 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.
