Love's Old Sweet Song
Author: G. C. Bingham Hymnal: The Assembly Hymn and Song Collection #184 (1914) First Line: Once in the dear, dead days beyond recall Lyrics: 1 Once in the dear dead days beyond recall
When on the world the mists began to fall,
Out of the dreams that rose in happy throng,
Low to our hearts love sang an old sweet song;
And in the dusk, where fell the twilight gleam,
Softly it wove itself into our dream.
Chorus:
Just a song at twilight, When the lights are low,
And the flick'ring shadows softly come and go;
Tho' the heart be weary, Sad the day and long,
Still to us at twilight, Comes love's old song,
Comes love's old sweet song.
2 Even today we hear love's song of yore,
Deep in our hearts it dwells for evermore;
Footsteps may falter, weary grow the way,
Still we can hear it at the close of day;
So to the end, when life's dim shadows fall,
Love will be found the sweetest song of all. [Chorus] Topics: Favorite Part-Songs and Choruses Languages: English Tune Title: [Once in the dear, dead days beyond recall]

John R. Sweney
1837 - 1899 Person Name: Jno. R. Sweney Arranger of "[Beyond this life of hopes and fears]" in The New Living Hymns (Living Hymns No. 2) 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.
