Author: Bernard B. Edmiaston Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15998 First Line: There’s a land all free from sadness Refrain First Line: In that land beyond the river Lyrics: 1 There’s a land all free from sadness,
Out beyond this world of care;
On some bright and glad tomorrow
Shall my spirit enter there?
Refrain:
In that land beyond the river,
Where my soul shall never die;
O, my Lord, will Thou accept me
In that home beyond the sky?
2 Loving friends have gone before us,
And have bidden me to come;
Are their spirits bending o’er me—
Will they bid me welcome home? [Refrain]
3 Age is touching me with sadness,
Soon I shall be called to go;
Shall it be to fields of gladness,
Where the living waters flow? [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: SANCTUARY

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Composer of "SANCTUARY" in The Cyber Hymnal As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern.
