What More Can He do

Author: Rachel Rivers Hymnal: Coronation Hymns #82 (1913) First Line: O lost ones, in danger no longer remain Lyrics: 1 O lost ones, in danger no longer remain! The Savior is calling again and again; Remember the anguish He suffered for you; His life paid your ransom—what more can He do? Chorus: What more can he do, what more can he do— His hands and His feet to the cross nailed for you? Remember the anguish he suffered for you— His life paid your ransom—what more can He do? 2 He calls thro' the Gospel, repent and believe; He calls and entreats you His grace to receive; He offers full pardon, and only demands Your loving submission to all He commands. [Chorus] 3 He calls thro' His mercy, and still you delay; He calls by His Spirit, you grieve Him away; Ah, soon your probation perchance may be o'er, And then your Redeemer will call you not more! [Chorus] 4 O haste, He is waiting, you cannot refuse The way of salvation with gladness to choose! His blood of atonement is flowing for you; He offers it freely—what more can He do? [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [O lost ones, in danger no longer remain]

John R. Sweney

1837 - 1899 Composer of "[O lost ones, in danger no longer remain]" 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
