Author: Emily C. Pearson Hymnal: Joyful Lays #42 (1884) First Line: When the clouds are gath'ring round thee Lyrics: 1 When the clouds are gath’ring round thee, Look above and trust in God; Be not weary of thy labor, Tread the path thy Saviour trod; Be not weary, Be not weary, Toil, endure, and reap reward; Be not weary, Be not weary, Toil, endure, and reap reward. 2 Take thy place among the workers, In the fields of whitening grain; Take thy place and bear thy burden, Thou shalt bear it not in vain; Be not weary, Be not weary, Thou a rich reward shalt gain; Be not weary, Be not weary, Thou a rich reward shalt gain. 3 Call the many that surround thee, All the needy, faint, unfed, From the highways and the hedges, To the Gospel Banquet spread; Be not weary, Be not weary, Break for them the living bread; Be not weary, Be not weary, Break for them the living bread. 4 Faint not, fear not; night’s dark shadows, One by one, shall pass away; Look! behold the dawn of morning Breaks with bright and cheering ray; Be not weary, Be not weary, God will bring the promised day, Be not weary, Be not weary, God will bring the promised day.

W. Howard Doane

1832 - 1915 Person Name: W. H. Doane Composer of "[When the clouds are gath'ring round thee]" in Joyful Lays An industrialist and philanthropist, William H. Doane (b. Preston, CT, 1832; d. South Orange, NJ, 1915), was also a staunch supporter of evangelistic campaigns and a prolific writer of hymn tunes. He was head of a large woodworking machinery plant in Cincinnati and a civic leader in that city. He showed his devotion to the church by supporting the work of the evangelistic team of Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey and by endowing Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and Denison University in Granville, Ohio. An amateur composer, Doane wrote over twenty-two hundred hymn and gospel song tunes, and he edited over forty songbooks. Bert Polman ============ Doane, William Howard, p. 304, he was born Feb. 3, 1832. His first Sunday School hymn-book was Sabbath Gems published in 1861. He has composed about 1000 tunes, songs, anthems, &c. He has written but few hymns. Of these "No one knows but Jesus," "Precious Saviour, dearest Friend," and "Saviour, like a bird to Thee," are noted in Burrage's Baptist Hymn Writers. 1888, p. 557. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907) =================== Doane, W. H. (William Howard), born in Preston, Connecticut, 1831, and educated for the musical profession by eminent American and German masters. He has had for years the superintendence of a large Baptist Sunday School in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he resides. Although not a hymnwriter, the wonderful success which has attended his musical setting of numerous American hymns, and the number of his musical editions of hymnbooks for Sunday Schools and evangelistic purposes, bring him within the sphere of hymnological literature. Amongst his collections we have:— (1) Silver Spray, 1868; (2) Pure Gold, 1877; (3) Royal Diadem, 1873; (4) Welcome Tidings, 1877; (5) Brightest and Best, 1875; (6) Fountain of Song; (7) Songs of Devotion, 1870; (8) Temple Anthems, &c. His most popular melodies include "Near the Cross," "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," "Pass me Not," "More Love to Thee," "Rescue the Perishing," "Tell me the Old, Old Story," &c. - John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
