And the days that are yet to be;
For our hearts, like the woodland birds are gay,
As they chant in the morning’s early gray.
Refrain:
Praise! praise! to the Giver of all,
Praise! praise! for His mercies never fail;
And the soul that He leadeth shall never faint nor fall,
Nor the strongest foe prevail.

‘Mid the tempest so wild, or the noon-tide ray,
Our Redeemer hath led us day by day. [Refrain]

And the lamp of our faith burns clear,
For our Father from sin will keep us free,
To rejoice in the endless Jubilee. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [We sing of the days that have passed away]

C. C. Case
1843 - 1918 Composer of "[We sing of the days that have passed away]" in Wondrous Love Charles Clinton Case USA 1843-1918. Born in Linesville, PA, his family moved to Gustavus, OH, when he was four. His father was an accomplished violinist, but a neighbor gave him a small violin when he was nine, and he mastered it before he could read music. At age 16 he went to singing school (without parental consent), borrowing the money from a neighbor. C. A. Bentley, a prominent conductor, was his first vocal music instructor, and William Bradbury's “Jubilee” was the school textbook. For three winters in a row, he attended Bentley's singing school, working his father's farm in the summer. He married Annie Williams. In 1866 he studied music in Boston with B. F. Baker. He also studied under George Root, Horatio Palmer, Philip Bliss, George Webb, and others, hymnwriters in their own right. Soon after, Case began teaching music, and when James McGranahan moved two miles from his home, they became friends. Case wrote and edited a number of Gospel song books in his life. 6 works.
