On Easter Morn

Author: Jeremiah E. Rankin, 1828-1904 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #165 (2011) Meter: 11.10.11.10 with refrain First Line: On Easter morn, when holy chimes are ringing Refrain First Line: Rest, pilgrims, rest Lyrics: 1 On Easter morn, when holy chimes are ringing, God’s breath of peace on all the scene around, I seem to hear descending angels singing, Till they have made the earth all hallowed ground. Refrain: Rest, pilgrims rest. No more your hearts are aching, No more ye burdens bear or sorrows weep; Rest, pilgrims, rest till life’s glad morn be breaking, ’Tis God who giveth His beloved sleep. 2 Assuaged our grief, we tread the path before us, Fulfill the days of our appointed time; While each year brings again the Easter chorus, And we look for that last great change sublime. [Refrain] 3 Ye angels, bear love’s cup of consolation, Fly with the Easter sun round the glad earth; Proclaim that death in Christ is but translation, That at His voice we rise to higher birth. [Refrain] 4 Say that with Him shall come the dear departed; Clothed in new beauty, they from dust shall rise; Sing of that land where are no broken hearted, Where God’s own hand wipes tears from weeping eyes.

Jeremiah Eames Rankin

1828 - 1904 Person Name: Rev. J. E. Rankin, D. D. Author of "The Song of the Easter Angels" in African Methodist Episcopal hymn and tune book Pseudonym: R. E. Jeremy. Rankin, Jeremiah Eames, D.D., was born at Thornton, New Haven, Jan. 2, 1828, and educated at Middleburg College, Vermont, and at Andover. For two years he resided at Potsdam, U.S. Subsequently he held pastoral charges as a Congregational Minister at New York, St. Albans, Charlestown, Washington ( District of Columbia), &c. In 1878 he edited the Gospel Temperance Hymnal, and later the Gospel Bells. His hymns appeared in these collections, and in D. E. Jones's Songs of the New Life, 1869. His best known hymn is "Labouring and heavy laden" (Seeking Christ). This was "written [in 1855] for a sister who was an inquirer," was first printed in the Boston Recorder, and then included in Nason's Congregational Hymn Book, 1857. Another of his hymns is "Rest, rest, rest, brother rest." He died in 1904. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ======================== Rankin, J. 33., p. 951, ii. Dr. Rankin, b. in N. H. (not New Haven), and received his D.D. 1869, LL.D. 1889 from his Alma Mater. He was President for several years of Howard University, Washington, D.C. His publications included several volumes of Sermons, German-English Lyrics, Sacred and Secular, 1897; 2nd ed. 1898, &c. In addition to his hymns noted on p. 951, ii., he has written and published mainly in sheet form many others, the most important and best-known being:— 1. God be with you till we meet again. [Benediction.] Dr. Rankin's account of this hymn, supplied to us, in common with Mr. Brownlie, for his Hymns and H. Writers of The Church Hymnary, 1899, is: "It was written as a Christian good-bye, and first sung in the First Congregational Church, of which I was minister for fifteen years. We had Gospel meetings on Sunday nights, and our music was intentionally of the popular kind. I wrote the first stanza, and sent it to two gentlemen for music. The music which seemed to me to best suit the words was written by T. G. Tomer, teacher of public schools in New Jersey, at one time on the staff of General 0. 0. Howard. After receiving the music (which was revised by Dr. J. W. Bischoff, the organist of my church), I wrote the other stanzas." The hymn became at once popular, and has been translated into several languages. In America it is in numerous collections; and in Great Britain, in The Church Hymnary, 1898, Horder's Worship Song, 1905, The Methodist Hymn Book, 1904, and others. It was left undated by Dr. Rankin, but I.D. Sankey gives it as 1882. 2. Beautiful the little hands. [Little ones for Jesus.] Given without date in Gloria Deo, New York, 1900. Dr. Rankin's translations include versions of German, French, Latin, and Welsh hymns. His contributions to the periodical press have been numerous. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)
