Refrain: Brighter the way, groweth each day, For the soul that’s redeemed; At the bright gate, angels await, For the soul that’s redeemed. 2 Friends below are few and rare, Countless friends are waiting there, For the soul that’s redeemed; Here the toil each day depressed, Yonder’s sweet, eternal rest, For the soul that’s redeemed. [Refrain] 3 In that happy world above There is peace and there is love, For the soul that’s redeemed; And a crown is waiting there, Decked with gems of beauty rare, For the soul that’s redeemed.

James Rowe

1865 - 1933 Author of "For the Soul that’s Redeemed" in Soul Inspiring Songs Pseudonym: James S. Apple. James Rowe was born in England in 1865. He served four years in the Government Survey Office, Dublin Ireland as a young man. He came to America in 1890 where he worked for ten years for the New York Central & Hudson R.R. Co., then served for twelve years as superintendent of the Mohawk and Hudson River Humane Society. He began writing songs and hymns about 1896 and was a prolific writer of gospel verse with more than 9,000 published hymns, poems, recitations, and other works. Dianne Shapiro, from "The Singers and Their Songs: sketches of living gospel hymn writers" by Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (Chicago: The Rodeheaver Company, 1916)

William D. Evridge

1873 - 1932 Person Name: Wm. D. Evridge Composer of "[Homeless here the soul may rove]" in Soul Inspiring Songs The best-known song by William D. Evridge (1873-1932) was probably "For the soul that's redeemed," with text by James Rowe. This song was copyrighted in 1907, an entry that confirms his full name: William Daniel Evridge. (Copyright Catalog, 74) The Bartlett Tribune mentions Evridge frequently as a song leader for gospel meetings in the Churches of Christ. The data given in his wife's obituary (Friday, June 8, 1934, p.1) confirms that Evridge died in 1932, and that the Daniel Evridge buried in the Grainger, Texas cemetery is the same W. D. Evridge. Acuff and Evridge worked together on the first Firm Foundation hymnal, and returned for the New Ideal Gospel Hymn Book (1930), a major stepping stone toward a full-size hymnal. --drhamrick.blogspot.com/2012/01/
