Author: Edward A. Dayman Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6146 Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Sleep thy last sleep, free from care and sorrow Lyrics: 1. Sleep thy last sleep, free from care and sorrow; Rest, where none weep, till th’eternal morrow; Though dark waves roll o’er the silent river, Thy fainting soul Jesus can deliver. 2. Life’s dream is past, all its sin, its sadness, Brightly at last, dawns a day of gladness: Under thy sod, earth, receive our treasure, To rest in God, waiting all His pleasure. 3. Though we may mourn those in life the dearest, They shall return, Christ, when Thou appearest: Soon shall thy voice comfort those now weeping, Bidding rejoice all in Jesus sleeping.

Joseph Barnby

1838 - 1896 Composer of "REQUIEM" in Church Hymnal, Mennonite Joseph Barnby (b. York, England, 1838; d. London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barnby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873). Bert Polman

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Sleep Thy Last Sleep" in One Hundred Gospel Hymns 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.
