We Shall Gather 'Round the Throne

Author: F. C. H. Hymnal: Twentieth (20th) Century Songs Part One #28 (1900) First Line: When our toiling here is o'er and we cross the tide Lyrics: When our toiling here is o’er and we cross the tide, Where with Jesus we shall be on the other side; We shall sing upon that shore, Praising Him for evermore, When we gather ‘round the great white throne. Chorus: We shall gather ‘round the throne, We shall worship at His feet, In a fellowship complete, Hallelujah! Hallelujah! When we gather ‘round the great white throne. Oh, the joys that there await! never more we’ll roam, When at last within the gate of our Father’s home; With the glorified we’ll sing Praises to our Savior King, When we gather ‘round the great white throne. There our lov’d ones we will meet and we’ll part no more, There we’ll share communion sweet on that blissful shore; There from sin and sorrow free, We with Christ shall ever be, When we gather ‘round the great white throne. Let us then to Christ be true with a heart of love, Ever pointing by our lives to that home above; That when storms of life are past, We shall reach that home at last, And be gather’d ‘round the great white throne.

Frank C. Huston

1871 - 1959 Person Name: F. C. H. Author of "We Shall Gather 'Round the Throne" in Twentieth (20th) Century Songs Part One Huston, Frank C. (Orange, Indiana, September 12, 1871--October 14, 1959, Jacksonville, Florida). Both parents were musically inclined, and at the age of 12, he was playing cornet in a local concert band. By the age of 17, he was singing regularly in male and mixed voice units, and at 18, he was conducting church music. Education: Moody Bible Institute. Studied with W.M. Hackleman (a cousin), D.B. Towner, W.C. Caffin, and Charles H. Gabriel. On May 13, 1894, he married Bertha Martin. There were seven children. He spent a brief period as a public school teacher, then became a singing evangelist and traveled for a time with the Charles Reign Scoville Party. He served as Chaplain in the First World War and continued his interest and participation in patriotic organizations. He served a term as Commander-in-Chief of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War and a term as national president of the Federated Patriotic Societies. While in his eighties, he served as chaplain for the Jacksonville Chapter of the Coast Guard. He was ordained to the ministry of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in 1915. He owned and operated his own publishing company in Indiana for a number of years and was a member of the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers. Frank Huston is credited with more than 400 songs, some patriotic. His two best-known hymns, for which he wrote both words and music, are: "It Pays to Serve Jesus," written in 1909, and "The Christ of the Cross," which was copyrighted in 1924. Among the several hundred others are: "Keep on Believing," "The Word of God Shall Stand," "Lead On, O Christ, Thou Holy One," and "O Holy Day of Pentecost." A book, On Hundred Hymns and Gospel Songs, was published in 1955. For the last 18 years of his life, Huston lived in Florida Christian Home in Jacksonville, a home for the aged maintained by the Christian Church. There, he was active with his music and voluminous correspondence. Funeral services were held in the Edgewood Avenue Christian Church in Jacksonville, Florida, and interment was in Knightstown, Indiana. --Carlton C. Buck, DNAH Archives ============================= During World War I, Governor Goodrich of Indiana appointed Huston chaplain of the 150th Field Artillery, Rainbow Division, but through some mistake he was never called to join the regiment before the war ended. His services, however, were in great demand in his home state and city, and he became widely known as the "Singing Chaplain." In World War II, Huston volunteered his services to the Coast Guard Auxiliary. He was made a boatswain’s mate when he was 74 and given duty as a recruiter. He was discharged as an ensign. His works include: Selected Sacred Songs (Jacksonville, Florida: Frank C. Huston, 1937)
