Author: Minnie B. Johnson Hymnal: The Finest of the Wheat No. 2 #145 (1894) First Line: Sweetly now are angels singing Lyrics: 1 Sweetly now are angels singing, In the glory-land; Tuneful praises ever ringing, In the glory-land. There ‘tis with the righteous well, Evermore with Christ to dwell, And the old, old story tell, In the glory-land. Refrain: In the glory-land, In the glory-land, Hallelujahs now are ringing In the glory-land. 2 Clad in robes of snowy whiteness, In the glory-land; Victors there, with crowns of brightness, In the glory-land. Round the throne of God they stand, With the great angelic band, At the Savior’s own right hand, In the glory-land. [Refrain] 3 Soon we’ll join them in the chorus, In the glory-land And the Savior will reign o’er us, In the glory-land. Where the tree of life doth grow, And the living waters flow, We no sorrow e’er can know, In the glory-land. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Sweetly now are angels singing]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Sweetly now are angels singing]" in The Finest of the Wheat No. 2 William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
