So I can Wait

Author: Julia C. Thompson Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: I know that heav'n lies just beyond Lyrics: 1 I know that heav'n lies just beyond This earthly state, this earthly state; That Christ himself holds death's cold wand; So I can wait, so I can wait. I know the dark, mysterious ways My feet may tread, my feet may tread Will all be plain when heav'nly rays Are on them shed, are on them shed. 2 I know the heartaches of this life Will all be healed, will all be healed, When the blest peace that ends earth's strife Shall be reveal'd, shall be reveal'd I know that 'mid the world's turmoil God giveth rest, God giveth rest; His arm is round me in its toil; And I am blest, and I am blest. 3 I know that when my time is come To dwell above, to dwell above, Jesus his child will welcome home With tend'rest love, with tend'rest love, His angel guards will open wide Heav'n's pearly gate, heav'n's pearly gate; And I shall then be satisfied: So I can wait, so I can wait!

John R. Sweney

1837 - 1899 Person Name: John Robson Sweney Composer of "COVA DA IRIA" in The Cyber Hymnal John R. Sweney (1837-1899) was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and exhibited musical abilities at an early age. At nineteen he was studying with a German music teacher, leading a choir and glee club, and performing at children’s entertainments. By twenty-two he was teaching at a school in Dover, Delaware. Soon thereafter, he was put in charge of the band of the Third Delaware Regiment of the Union Army for the duration of the Civil War. After the war, he became Professor of Music at the Pennsylvania Military Academy, and director of Sweney’s Cornet Band. He eventually earned Bachelor and Doctor of Music degrees at the Academy. Sweney began composing church music in 1871 and became well-known as a leader of large congregations. His appreciators stated “Sweney knows how to make a congregation sing” and “He had great power in arousing multitudes.” He also became director of music for a large Sunday school at the Bethany Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia of which John Wanamaker was superintendent (Wanamaker was the founder of the first major department store in Philadelphia). In addition to his prolific output of hymn melodies and other compositions, Sweney edited or co-edited about sixty song collections, many in collaboration with William J. Kirkpatrick. Sweney died on April 10, 1899, and his memorial was widely attended and included a eulogy by Wanamaker. Joe Hickerson from "Joe's Jottings #9" used by permission
