Author: Theo. Monod Hymnal: On Joyful Wing #126 (1886) First Line: Sinner, to the Saviour clinging Lyrics: 1 Sinner, to the Saviour clinging, Trembling, trusting, hoping, singing, Hark! again his voice is ringing: “Forward, forward march!” 2 Tarry not to count thy treasure; He will deal it without measure As thou doest his good pleasure— “Forward, forward march!” 3 Art thou faint? He stands beside thee; He shall help thee, guard thee, guide thee; In his shadow he shall hide thee— “Forward, forward march!” 4 Through th’allurements of temptation, Through the fires of tribulation, Holding forth the great salvation, “Forward, forward march!” 5 By ten thousand foes surrounded, Mocked, opposed, assaulted, wounded, Thou shalt never be confounded, “Forward, forward march!” 6 Till thy bending head be hoary, Till shall close thine earthly story, Till thou step from grace to glory, “Forward, forward march!” Tune Title: [Sinner, to the Saviour clinging]

Sherwin Composer of "[Sinner, to the Saviour clinging]" in Select Songs No. 2 Sherwin, William Fisk, an American Baptist, was born at Buckland, Massachusetts, March 14,1826. His educational opportunities, so far as schools were concerned, were few, but he made excellent use of his time and surroundings. At fifteen he went to Boston and studied music under Dr. Mason: In due course he became a teacher of vocal music, and held several important appointments in Massachusetts; in Hudson and Albany, New York County, and then in New York City. Taking special interest in Sunday Schools, he composed carols and hymn-tunes largely for their use, and was associated with the Rev. R. Lowry and others in preparing Bright Jewels, and other popular Sunday School hymn and tune books. A few of his melodies are known in Great Britain through I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos, where they are given with his signature. His hymnwriting was limited. The following pieces are in common use:— 1. Grander than ocean's story (1871). The Love of God. 2. Hark, bark, the merry Christmas bells. Christmas Carol. 3. Lo, the day of God is breaking. The Spiritual Warfare. 4. Wake the song of joy and gladness. Sunday School or Temperance Anniversary. 5. Why is thy faith, 0 Child of God, so small. Safety in Jesus. Mr. Sherwin died at Boston, Massachusetts, April 14, 1888. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ================== Sherwin, W. F., p. 1055, i.
