The Lamb That Was Slain

Author: Elbert S. Porter Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10775 First Line: In the far better land of glory and light Lyrics: 1 In the far better land of glory and light, The ransomed are singing in garments of white; The harpers are harping, and all the bright train Sing the song of redemption, the Lamb that was slain. The Lamb, the Lamb, the Lamb that was slain, The Lamb, the Lamb, the Lamb that was slain. 2 Like the sound of the sea swells their chorus of praise, Round the star circled crown of the Ancient of Days, And thrones and dominions re-echo the strain Of the glory eternal, to Him that was slain. To Him, to Him, to Him that was slain, To Him, to Him, to Him that was slain. 3 Dear Savior, may we with our voices so faint, Sing the chorus celestial with angel and saint? Oh, yes! we will sing, and Thine ear we will gain In the song of redemption, the Lamb that was slain. The Lamb, the Lamb, the Lamb that was slain, The Lamb, the Lamb, the Lamb that was slain. 4 Now, children, and teachers, and friends all unite, In a loud hallelujah with the ransomed in light; To Jesus we’ll sing that melodious strain, The song of redemption, the Lamb that was slain. The Lamb, the Lamb, the Lamb that was slain, The Lamb, the Lamb, the Lamb that was slain. Languages: English Tune Title: [In the far better land of glory and light]

He conducted a 1000 children choir there, which resulted in music being taught as regular study in public schools of the city. He began writing music and publishing it. In 1847 he went with his wife to Europe to study with some of the music masters in London and also Germany. He attended Mendelssohn funeral while there. He went to Switzerland before returning to the states, and upon returning, commenced teaching, conducting conventions, composing, and editing music books.
