At the Eventide
Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: O'er the ocean's foam is a land ahead Refrain First Line: Yes, my sails are spread for the glory land Lyrics: 1 O'er the ocean's foam is a land ahead,
When the white-robed throng with their Lord abide;
For that peaceful shore all my sails are spread,
I will reach that land at the eventide.
Chorus:
Yes, my sails are spread for the glory land;
I shall all the storms of this life outride;
When I reach that port on the golden strand,
I will anchor there at the eventide.
2 Oft I meet with foes who would turn me back,
With the chains of sin, and the snares of pride;
They will follow me all along life's track
But I'll lose them all at the eventide. [Chorus]
3 We have toil and care all along the way,
For the waves are rough, and the ocean wide;
But our trials will cease, at the close of day,
When we find sweet rest at the eventide. [Chorus]
4 There the loved and lost of the years gone by,
Sing the new, new song by their Saviour's side;
But we'll part no more, while the ages fly,
When we gather home at the eventide. [Chorus] Topics: Heaven; Praise; Revival Used With Tune: [O'er the ocean's foam is a land ahead]

Johnson Oatman, Jr.
1856 - 1922 Person Name: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Author of "At the Eventide" in Light in the Valley Johnson Oatman, Jr., son of Johnson and Rachel Ann Oatman, was born near Medford, N. J., April 21, 1856. His father was an excellent singer, and it always delighted the son to sit by his side and hear him sing the songs of the church.
Outside of the usual time spent in the public schools, Mr. Oatman received his education at Herbert's Academy, Princetown, N. J., and the New Jersey Collegiate Institute, Bordentown, N. J. At the age of nineteen he joined the M.E. Church, and a few years later he was granted a license to preach the Gospel, and still later he was regularly ordained by Bishop Merrill. However, Mr. Oatman only serves as a local preacher.
For many years he was engaged with his father in the mercantile business at Lumberton, N. J., under the firm name of Johnson Oatman & Son. Since the death of his father, he has for the past fifteen years been in the life insurance business, having charge of the business of one of the great companies in Mt. Holly, N. J., where he resides.
He has written over three thousand hymns, and no gospel song book is considered as being complete unless it contains some of his hymns.
In 1878 he married Wilhelmina Reid, of Lumberton, N.J. and had three children, Rachel, Miriam, and Percy.
