What's this that steals upon my frame

Meter: Irregular Appears in 132 hymnals Lyrics: 1. What's this that steals, that steals upon my frame! Is it death? is it death? That soon will quench, will quench this mortal flame. Is it death? is it death? If this be death, I soon shall be From every pain and sorrow free, I shall the King of glory see. All is well! All is well! 2. Weep not, my friends, my friends weep not for me, All is well! All is well! My sins forgiven, forgiven, and I am free, All is well! All is well! There's not a cloud that doth arise, To hide my Jesus from my eyes, I soon shall mount the upper skies.. All is well! All is well! 3. Tune, tune your harps, your harps, ye saints on high, All is well! All is well! I too will strike my harp with equal joy, All is well! All is well! Bright angels are from glory come, They're round my bed, they're in my room, They wait to waft my spirit home. All is well! All is well! 4. Hark! hark! my Lord, my Lord and Master's voice, Calls away, Calls away! I soon shall see—enjoy my happy choice, Why delay, Why delay! Farewell, my friends, adieu, adieu, I can no longer stay with you, My glittering crown appears in view, All is well! All is well! 5. Hail! hail! all hail! all hail! ye blood washed throng, Saved by grace, Saved by grace— I come to join your rapturous song, Saved by grace, Saved by grace. All, all is peace and joy divine, And heaven and glory now are mine. Loud hallelujahs to the Lamb! All is well! All is well! Used With Tune: ALL IS WELL

Bright angels are from glory come, They're round my bed, they're in my room, They wait to waft my spirit home, All is well. 4 Hark! hark! my Lord, my Lord and Master calls me, All is well. I soon shall see, shall see his face in glory, All is well. Farewell, my friends, adieu, adieu! I can no longer stay with you, My glitt'ring crown appears in view, All is well.

W. G. Cooper

1861 - 1938 Arranger of "[What's this that steals, that steals upon my frame]" in Hymns of Victory Rv William Gustin Cooper USA 1861-1938. Born in Evansville, WI, he married Mabel Luella Cooper. He became a Baptist minister having pastorates in Hortonville Village, WI, 1897 – 1901, and later in Ira, VT, in 1922. He also conducted camp meetings. He wrote a number of hymn lyrics and a few tunes. He died in Canton, ME. Note: In a campmeeting service in 1889, when the service was over, a lyricist, Warren Cornell, sat writing a poem. As he left the site, he dropped the paper he was writing and didn't notice it. An hour or or so later, Rev. Cooper came in to tidy up the tent area for the next service, saw the paper, picked it up and read it, and was so inspired by the words, that he finished writing the text and went to the organ and composed the tune for the hymn, “Wonderful peace”.
