Jesus died on Calvary's mountain
Appears in 61 hymnals Lyrics:
1.
Jesus died on Calvary's mountain,
Long time ago,
And salvation's rolling fountain,
Now freely flows!
2.
Once his voice in tones of pity,
Melted in woe,
And he wept o'er Judah's city,
Long time ago.
3.
On his head the dews of midnight,
Fell, long ago,
Now a crown of dazzling sunlight
Sits on his brow.
4.
Jesus died—yet lives forever,
No more to die—
Bleeding Jesus, blessed Savior,
Now reigns on high!
5.
Now in heaven he's interceding
For dying men,
Soon he'll finish all his pleading,
And come again.
6.
Budding fig trees tell that summer
Dawns o'er the land,
Signs portend that Jesus' coming,
Is near at hand.
7.
Children, let your lights be burning,
In hope of heaven.
Waiting for our Lord's returning
At dawn or even.
8.
When he comes a voice from heaven
Shall pierce the tomb,
"Come, ye blessed of my Father,
Children, come home."

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Jesus died on Calvary's mountain" 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.

Edward Payson Hammond
1831 - 1910 Author of "Long Time Ago" Hammond, Edward Payson, was born at Ellington, Connecticut, Sep. 1, 1831. He edited Hymns of Prayer and Praise, and is the author of a few pieces in that and other evangelistic hymnals, including "Christian [Children] go and tell Jesus," and "I feel like singing all the time."
--John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)
================
Born: September 1, 1831, Ellington, Connecticut.
Died: August 14, 1910.
Payson was converted when he heard Alas, and Did My Savior Bleed. He was educated at various American schools, and finished his theological education in Edinburgh, Scotland. In Scotland, he started to preach in places with no Christian activity, and he could see fruit of his work. At the end of 1861 he returned to America and preached in Chicago, Illinois, where he met Dwight Moody. In 1866 he and his wife traveled to Egypt, Palestine and Europe. While in Palestine, he wrote the hymn Gethsemane. He was very fond of preaching to the children, and was called "The Children’s Evangelist." His works include:
Hymns of Prayer and Praise (editor)
Jesus the Children’s Friend, 1864
New Praises of Jesus, 1869
The Armor Bearer: a Choice Collection of New and Popular Hymns and Music, with Warren Bentley (New York: William A. Pond, circa 1876)
