Rest Over Jordan
Hymnal: Crowning Day, No. 6 #245 (1904) First Line: To the promised home in glory Refrain First Line: Yes, there is rest over Jordan's waters Lyrics: 1 To the promised home in glory,
To that land of blissful rest,
My Redeemer’s gone before me,
To prepare a mansion, blest.
Refrain:
Yes, there is rest over Jordan’s waters,
Rest for such as from sin are free;
Rest for all who come to Jesus—
Rest for you and me.
2 He is fitting up that mansion,
Which eternally shall stand,
For my stay shall not be transient
In that holy, happy land. [Refrain]
3 Pain nor sickness ne’er shall enter,
Grief nor woe my lot shall share,
But in that celestial centre,
I a crown of life shall wear. [Refrain]
4 Death itself shall then be vanquished,
And his string shall be withdrawn,
Shout for gladness, O ye ransomed,
Hail with joy the rising morn. [Refrain]
5 Sing, O sing, ye heirs of glory,
Shout your triumph as you go;
Zion’s gate will open for you,
You shall find an entrance through. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [To the promised home in glory]

Person Name: Unknown Author of "Rest Over Jordan" in Christian Hymnal (Rev. ed.) 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.

S. Y. Harmer
1809 - 1884 Person Name: Rev. S. Y. Harmer Author of "Rest Over Jordan" in Sacred Chimes Harmer, Samuel Young, son of Samuel Harmer, a member of the Society of Friends, was born at Germantown, Pennsylvania, Dec. 9, 1809. In 1827 he joined the American Methodist Episcopalian Church, and was engaged for several years as a Sunday School teacher and superintendent. In 1842 he became a local preacher of that body, and, in 1847, was admitted into the ministry. He has held appointments in Philadelphia and Iowa. His well-known hymn "In the Christian's home in glory" (Heaven) was written in 1856 for a camp-meeting collection which the Rev. John Gladding was then compiling. It has been slightly altered, and set to music by the Rev. W. McDonald of Boston, Massachusetts. (For these details we are indebted to Dr. Hatfield's Poets of the Church N. Y., 1884.)
