Come Unto Me

Author: Rev. G. W. Lloyd Hymnal: Good Will #80 (1882) Hymnal Title: Good Will First Line: Hear, troubled soul tho' the hurricane's roaring Lyrics: 1 Hear, troubled soul tho’ the hurricane’s roaring, Sounding o’er life’s rolling sea, Clearly above all the tumult ‘tis soaring, A voice crying, “Come unto me!” Chorus: “Come unto me, Come unto me.” Clearly and sweetly the Savior will greet thee, “Despair not, despair not, but come unto me.” 2 Helpless one, sport of the winds of temptation, Nearing the threatening lea, Yonder outstretching the hand of salvation, Is he who says, “Come unto me!” [Chorus] 3 Dark is the night, and thy spirit discerns not Him who is waiting for thee; Yet, all intent on the rescue, he turns not, But still he cries, “Come unto me!” [Chorus] 4 Storm-driven soul, lift the prayer appealing, “Savior, come thou unto me!” Quickly he’ll answer, salvation revealing, Despair not I come unto thee. [Chorus] Scripture: Isaiah 55:3 Languages: English Tune Title: [Hear, troubled soul tho' the hurricane's roaring]

G. W. Lloyd

1821 - 1906 Person Name: Rev. G. W. Lloyd Hymnal Title: Good Will Author of "Come Unto Me" in Good Will Reverend Lloyd was born in England in 1821 and came to America about 1850, alternately laboring for the Congregational Church and later for the Presbyterian Church in America. He was a great writer, and many of his poems were published in small booklets later in the 19th century. He was a fiery preacher, and later during the American Civil War, he was a staunch Unionist. New Jersey had many Copperheads in Branchville & Sussex County, i.e. those who supported the Southern Cause. As Reverend Lloyd attacked the Confederacy, he came under fire, quite literally. He was shot at while preaching in the pulpit in Branchville, but the assailant missed. In 1865, he published "The Devil in Dixie", a very long "verse" on the "evils" of the Confederacy. Lloyd's congregation was split over him, and he was sent to the mission field (of sorts). Amongst his many travels, Lloyd pastored at Escanaba, Michigan, Horicon, Wisconsin, and in Moingona, Iowa. In the 1880s, he was asked to return to the Branchville church, and became a beloved pastor of the Presbyterian Church. He wrote and preached and presided for many years. He was honored by many for much; especially in the suffering and persevering for his Faith and related beliefs. Among his poetry a book called "Lyrics of Lake and Stream" was published. He went home to his Savior in 1906 after a full and well-spent life. He is buried in Branchville Cemetery with his wife Sarah, and the many children they lost to disease at young ages. Only two daughters survived until adulthood, and they were unmarried. J. L. Codella

J. M. Stillman

1834 - 1917 Hymnal Title: Good Will Composer of "[Hear, troubled soul tho' the hurricane's roaring]" in Good Will JAIRUS MAXSON STILLMAN, Mus. Doc., Professor of Music in Milton College. As a composer he has had many valuable contributions, especially to sacred music, but, while his work in that direction has been most important, his labors have been more especially directed to the educational side of the art. For the past fifteen years, with brief interruptions, he has filled his present collegiate chair, and his work prior to the acceptance of this position was most active, varied and successful. Mr. STILLMAN was born February 20, 1834, in Alfred, Allegany Co., N.Y., the third in order of birth of the six children of Maxson and Lydia (CHAPMAN) STILLMAN. His father, a tenor singer of talent, had not only for many years led the choir of the large church at Alfred of which he was a member, but had taught singing schools in many places surrounding his home. His son inherited great aptitude for music, and at the age of ten years could read plain music at sight. He accompanied his father to singing schools, and made rapid progress in the mastery of the principles of music. He attended the singing classes in Alfred Academy. He is the associate author of "Good-Will for Sabbath Schools," "The Cluster," and "Anthem Treasures," the latter two being well-known and popular anthem books. He has also composed a large number of pieces for other anthem and Gospel hymn books, and a number of songs published in sheet music form. At Chicago he acted as one of the judges, with Prof. T. Martin TOWNE and others, in selecting from 700 original pieces of music, and in critically editing those which should be published in the work called "International Lesson Hymnal No. 1," published by David C. COOK. In 1884 an excellent article on "Church Music and How to Sustain it," written by Dr. STILLMAN, appeared in the "Seventh-day Baptist Quarterly."
