Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #313b (1854) Lyrics:
1.
Jesus died on Calvary's mountain,
Long time ago,
And salvation's rolling fountain,
Now freely flows!
2.
Once his voice in tones of pity,
Melted in woe,
And he wept o'er Judah's city,
Long time ago.
3.
On his head the dews of midnight,
Fell, long ago,
Now a crown of dazzling sunlight
Sits on his brow.
4.
Jesus died—yet lives forever,
No more to die—
Bleeding Jesus, blessed Savior,
Now reigns on high!
5.
Now in heaven he's interceding
For dying men,
Soon he'll finish all his pleading,
And come again.
6.
Budding fig trees tell that summer
Dawns o'er the land,
Signs portend that Jesus' coming,
Is near at hand.
7.
Children, let your lights be burning,
In hope of heaven.
Waiting for our Lord's returning
At dawn or even.
8.
When he comes a voice from heaven
Shall pierce the tomb,
"Come, ye blessed of my Father,
Children, come home."

William B. Blake
1852 - 1938 Person Name: Wm. B. Blake Author (Refrain) of "Long Time Ago" in The Zion Songster Nos. 1 and 2 Combined William Burdine Blake, 1852-1938. William B. Blake, Sr., was born January 21, 1852, in London, Ohio; went to Virginia in the early 1870s and became connected with the music publishing house of the Ruebush-Kieffer Company, and remaining with this firm until 1889, when he moved to Ronceverte. He married Miss Alice Mary Horne, of Augusta county, Virginia, a daughter of Strother P. and Sarah Home. (Strother P. Horne was a Confederate soldier throughout the Civil war.) To this union were born seven children: Charles Stanley Blake, Bessie Mabel, William B,. Jr.. Henry St. John, Robert Russell, Mary Ellen and Edward Lester. At Ronceverte, Mr. Blake, Sr., associated himself in partnership with J. W. Hess in the publication of the Ronceverte News, a newly-established paper in the new lumber town, buying out the interest of Richard Burke, who had been a prominent figure in West Virginia journalism for a number of years. Burke had been the publisher of a vigorous newspaper at Union, Monroe county. About the year 1891, Mr. Blake bought out the interest of Mr. Hess and became the sole proprietor of the enterprise, changing the name of the paper to the Valley Messenger and News. This publication continued until April 21, 1901. Several years prior to this, in December, 1897, The West Virginia News had been established with Mr. Blake as publisher, and from one newspaper plant two newspapers were issued until April 21, 1901, when the latter publication, which covered a more extensive field, absorbed the Valley Messenger. This consolidation brought to the newer paper the good will of the older and the growth of the West Virginia News has been steady and continuous to this day. At the present time and for a number of years the News has enjoyed a larger circulation than any other weekly newspaper published in the State.

Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Author of "Jesus died on Calvary's mountain" 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.
