IN BABILONE
We Are Come with Joy and Gladness
Author: R. Walmsley Hymnal: Worship and Song. (Rev. ed.) #O46 (1921) Refrain First Line: Onward go to serve the Master Lyrics: 1 We are come with joy and gladness,
Once again, our God and King,
To recall thy loving kindness,
And our festal hymns to sing.
With a fresh and strong devotion,
Every heart do thou inspire,
That each spark of love may brighten
Into flame of holy fire.
Refrain:
Onward go to serve the Master!
Every gift and talent bring,
That with zeal and skill we may do his will;
We are servants of the King.
2 We are come, a band of singers;
There are weary ones and sad,
And we bring our cheerful music
And our songs to make them glad.
There is hope and joy eternal
For the world’s despondent throng;
We are come, a band of singers,
To proclaim the news in song. [Refrain]
3 We are come, a band of workers;
We would bring both heart and brain
To the service of the Saviour,
That his will in all may reign.
Then forever and forever
Will the right have conquered wrong,
And the world shall change its sighing,
Into glad, triumphant song. [Refrain] Tune Title: [We are come with joy and gladness]

Winfred Douglas
1867 - 1944 Harmonizer of "IN BABILONE" in The Beacon Hymnal Charles Winfred Douglas (b. Oswego, NY, 1867; d. Santa Rosa, CA, 1944), an influential leader in Episcopalian liturgical and musical life. Educated at Syracuse University and St. Andrews Divinity School, Syracuse, New York, he moved to Colorado for his health. There he studied at St. Matthew's Hall, Denver, and founded the Mission of the Transfiguration in Evergreen (1897). Ordained a priest in the Episcopal Church in 1899, he also studied in France, Germany and England, where he spent time with the Benedictines of Solesmes on the Island of Wight from 1903 to 1906. For much of his life, Douglas served as director of music at the Community of St. Mary in Peekskill, New York, and had associations with cathedrals in Denver, Colorado, and Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. He promoted chanting and plainsong in the Episcopal Church through workshops and publications such as The American Psalter (1929), the Plainsong Psalter (1932), and the Monastic Diurnal (1932). His writings include program notes for the Denver Symphony Orchestra, various hymn preludes; organ, as well as the book, Church Music in History and Practice (1937). He was editor of both the Hymnal 1916 and its significant successor, Hymnal 1940, of the Episcopal Church. Douglas's other achievements include a thorough knowledge of the life and culture of Hopi and Navajo natives, among whom he lived for a number of years.

Robert Walmsley
1831 - 1905 Person Name: R. Walmsley Author of "We are come with joy and gladness" in The Beacon Hymnal Walmsley, Robert, was b. at Manchester March 18, 1831, went to Sale in 1870, where he was till 1904 in business as a jeweller, and d. at Sale Oct. 30, 1905. He was a Congregationalist, and was for 28 years connected with the work of the Manchester Sunday School Union, many of his hymns being written for the annual Whitweek Festival. He published 44 of them, with a preface dated Dec. 1900, as Sacred Songs for Children of all Ages. They are simple, musical, full of a deep love of God, of the works of God in nature, and of little children, and deserve to be more extensively used. The best-known of the longer hymns are:—
1. O praise our God to-day; Ye people haste to pay. [Praise to God.] Dated 1899, and included in his Sacred Songs, &c, 1900, No. 25.
2. Praise the Lord, His works exalt Him. [Praise to God.] Dated 1888. In his Sacral Songs, &c, 1900, No. 31.
3. The sun declines, o'er land and sea. [Evening,] Dated 1893. In his Sacred Songs, Dec., 1900, No. 38. It was given in the Scotch Church Hymnary, 1898.
For these biographical details and dates we are indebted to the author's daughter. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]
