In the East Is Morning Breaking
Author: Mary E. Maxwell Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. In the East is morning breaking,
Faintly glimmering from afar;
Gladdening eyes that wait the rising
Of the Bright and Morning Star;
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,
Wilt Thou soon to us appear?
2. Oh! we praise Thee for Thy coming
Once in lowliness and pain
To redeem from sin’s pollution,
Freeing us from Satan’s chain;
But how gladly! But how gladly!
We will see Thee come again.
3. By Thy Holy Spirit’s teaching,
Calvary’s healing streams we know;
Blood to pardon—purifying
Sin-stained hearts made white as snow;
But Thy fullness! But Thy fullness,
Thou wilt in Thy glory show.
4. Thou art coming, blessèd Master;
Days and moments speed apace,
Soon will cease earth’s day of service,
Soon we’ll see Thee face to face;
Are we ready, are we ready
For that day of crowning grace?
5. Vainly human thought can picture
What that day to us will be;
Who have welcomed full salvation,
Let Thee cleanse and sanctify;
Then Thy beauty, then Thy beauty
Will each longing satisfy. Text Sources: Hymns of Consecration and Faith, by James Mountain (London: Marshall Brothers, new & enlarged edition, 1902), number 411

Henry J. E. Holmes
1852 - 1938 Person Name: Henry James Ernest Holmes Composer of "DERRY (Holmes)" in The Cyber Hymnal Born: March 5, 1852, Burnley, Lancashire, England.
Died: October 1938, Burnley, Lancashire, England.
Buried: Burnley, Lancashire, England.
Son of Richard and Jane Holmes, Henry’s father and great grandfather were both solicitors; his father had offices in Colne and Burnley. Henry was educated at Clitheroe Royal Grammar School. In 1875, he became an Attorney for Common Law and was admitted a Solicitor of the High Court of Chancery. He was articled to his father in November 1869, and practiced in Burnley for over 60 years, first in partnership with his brother Richard Marmaduke as Holmes and Holmes. He continued to practice on his own as Holmes and Holmes after his brother’s death in 1894, and later as Messrs. Holmes, Butterfield and Hartley. Holmes had moved from the family home on Westgate some time after the death of his sister Susannah in 1878. By 1881, he was living at 12 Palatine Square.
Holmes was intimately associated with church and Sunday school work all his life. At age 17, he became a teacher and later a lay superintendent of Sandygate Sunday school, connected with Holy Trinity Church, a position he held nearly 20 years. From the 1880’s he took a deep interest in "The Home for Little Boys" at Farningham, Kent. His desire to help in this work led to the formation of the Burnley branch of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Another organization that Holmes took a great interest in was the Burnley Law Society, which he helped found in 1883; he lived to be the last survivor of the eight founders.
Holmes is said to have written over 250 hymn tunes in his life.
