Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Sinner, say, will you go Lyrics: 1 Sinner, say, will you go
To the highlands of heaven?
Where the storms never blow,
And the long summer's given.
Where the bright blooming flowers
Are their odors emitting.
And the leaves of the bowers
In the breezes are flitting.
2 Where the saints robed in white,
Cleansed in life's flowing fountain;
Shining beauteous and bright,
They inhabit the mountain.
Where no sin nor dismay,
Neither trouble nor sorrow,
Will be felt for a day,
Nor be feared for the morrow.
3 He's prepared thee a home,
Sinner, will you believe it?
And invites thee to come,
Sinner will you receive it?
O, come! sinner, come!
For the tide is receding;
And the Savior will soon
And forever quit pleading. Used With Tune: ETIVNI

HIGHLANDS OF HEAVEN
Will you go, sinner, go to the highlands of heaven
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1172 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Will you, go, sinner, go to the highlands of heaven,
Where the storms never blow, and the long summer's given;
Where the bright, blooming flowers are their odors emitting,
And the leaves of the bowers, in the breezes are flitting?
2 Where the rich golden fruit is in bright clusters pending,
And the deep-laden boughs of life's fair tree are bending,
And where life's crystal stream is unceasingly flowing,
And the verdure of spring is eternally growing.
3 Now while pardon's last hour is expiring in heaven,
And the last gracious call is on earth being given,
O haste! sinner haste, leave thy sinful behavior,
The commandments embrace and the faith of the Saviour.
4 Look by faith to the cross, and behold Jesus bleeding,
Then, ascended on high, at the throne interceding,
O, secure pardon now, while sweet mercy's extended,
Ere the harvest is past and the summer is ended.
5 He's prepared thee a home, sinner, canst thou believe it?
And invites thee to come, sinner, wilt thou receive it?
O, come, sinner, come; for the time is receding,
And the Saviour will soon and forever cease pleading. Topics: Miscellaneous Old Melodies Tune Title: WILL YOU GO?

Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Author of "Will you go, sinner, go to the highlands of heaven" 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.

W. McDonald
1820 - 1901 Person Name: Rev. W. McDonald Arranger of "The Sinner Invited" in Beulah Songs McDonald, Rev. William. (Belmont, Maine, March 1, 1820--September 11, 1901, Monrovia, California). Becoming a local preacher in the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1839 he was admitted to the Maine Conference in 1843, being transferred to that of Wisconsin in 1855 and of New England in 1859. For a number of years he was editor of the Advocate of Christian Holiness. In addition to being a writer of biographies and religious books, he compiled, or assisted in compiling, a number of song books of the gospel song type, among them being the Western Minstrel (1840), Wesleyan Minstrel (1853), Beulah Songs (1870), Tribute of Praise (1874). This last book was that which had been compiled by McDonald and L.F. Snow, and re-edited by Eben Tourjée, appeared in 1882 as the official hymnal of the Methodist Protestant Church. From 1870 he spent many years in evangelistic work before his retirement to Monrovia.

Thomas S. Cobb
1876 - 1942 Person Name: Thos. S. Cobb Arranger of "[Sinner go, will you go]" in The New Wonderful Songs for Work and Worship Thomas S. Cobb (1876-1942), a native Texan, was educated in much the same circles as [Austin] Taylor, and received his music diploma from the Western Normal and College of Music in Dallas. He taught singing schools across Texas and the bordering states, and was particularly noted for the "Cobb Quartet" made up of his four daughters. He was recruited to Firm Foundation by Showalter in 1935.(Finley, 122ff.) Cobb edited only four hymnals for Firm Foundation before his death in 1942, but among these was the significant New Wonderful Songs (1933); at 296 hymns it was part of the trend toward more substantial publications.
Prior to his work with Firm Foundation, Cobb edited hymnals for the Quartet Music Company of Fort Worth, Texas. A search of WorldCat.org shows that he was involved with at least 7 books for this publisher, going back as far as the 1890s when it was called the "Quartette Company." One of these earlier works From the Cross to the Crown (1921?) was subtitled, "Scriptural Songs," and was co-edited with Elder T. B. Clark and T. B. Mosley, one of the most well-known singing school teachers among the Churches of Christ in the southeastern U.S. Mosley was also known as a staunch doctrinal conservative. This gives some idea of the bona fides Cobb brought with him during the era of the "hymnal controversy" surrounding E. L. Jorgenson's Great Songs of the Church. Jorgenson was firmly in the premillennial camp, and was an editor of Word and Work, the primary voice of this viewpoint within the Churches of Christ. Opponents of premillennialism objected to several hymns in Great Songs that supported this doctrine, or were at least questionable. (Most of these were removed or altered in the better-known "No. 2" edition).
Thomas S. Cobb passed from this life in 1942, shortly after the last of the pre-war Firm Foundation hymnals appeared.
