How Sweet Are the Tidings

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2605 First Line: How sweet are the tidings that greet the pilgrim's ear Refrain First Line: He's coming, coming, coming soon I know Lyrics: 1. How sweet are the tidings that greet the pilgrim’s ear, As he wanders in exile from home! Soon, soon will the Savior in glory appear, And soon will the kingdom come. Refrain He’s coming, coming, coming soon I know, Coming back to this earth again; And the weary pilgrims will to glory go, When the Savior comes to reign. 2. The mossy old graves where the pilgrims sleep Shall open as wide as before, And the millions that sleep in the mighty deep Shall live on this earth once more. [Refrain] 3. There we’ll meet ne’er to part in our happy Eden home, Sweet songs of redemption we’ll sing; From the north, from the south, all the ransomed shall come, And worship our heav’nly King. [Refrain] 4. Hallelujah, Amen! hallelujah again! Soon, if faithful, we all shall be there; O, be watchful, be hopeful, be joyful till then, And a crown of bright glory we’ll wear.

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "He's coming, coming, coming soon I know" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

1876 - 1952 Person Name: R. E. W.

He founded his own publishing company in 1903, and his first publication, Winsett's Favorite Songs, quickly became popular among the Baptist and Pentecostal churches of the American South. Pentecostal Power followed in 1907; that year Winsett completed postgraduate work at a conservatory. He married Birdie Harris in 1908, and had three sons and two daughters with her. He settled in Fort Smith, Arkansas, continuing to compose gospel songs, of which he would write over 1,000 in total. He became a minister in 1923, and was affiliated with the Church of God (Seventh Day). Birdie Harris died late in the 1920s, and shortly thereafter Winsett moved back to Tennessee. He founded a new company in Chattanooga, and published more shape note music books. He remarried, to Mary Ruth Edmonton, in 1930, and had three further children. Winsett's final publication, Best of All (1951), sold over 1 million copies, and in total his books sold over ten million copies. His song "Jesus Is Coming Soon" won a Dove Award for Gospel Song of the Year at the 1969 awards. He has been inducted into the Southern Gospel Museum and Hall of Fame. --www.wikipedia.org
