Author: Granville Jones Hymnal: Light in the Valley #43 (1898) First Line: Weary hands will cease from labor Refrain First Line: Yes, the weary night is passing Lyrics: 1 Weary hands will cease from labor, Folded, they at rest will lie, For we have a burden bearer, And his coming draweth nigh. Chorus: Yes, the weary night is passing, Dawn is breaking in the sky; We shall hail the glad tomorrow, For his coming draweth nigh. 2 Sorrow will not last forever, Tears not always dim the eye; Jesus is our consolation, And his coming draweth nigh. [Chorus] 3 Pain is not our lasting portion, Balm descendeth from on high, For we have a great Physician, And his coming draweth nigh.

E. M. Douthit

Composer of "CABO SAN LUCAS" in The Cyber Hymnal Late 19th Century Copyright re­cords in­di­cate Dout­hit lived in Aus­tin, Tex­as, in 1899. --www.hymntime.com/tch/

Granville Jones

Author of "His Coming Draweth Nigh" in Light in the Valley Late 19th Century Currently, our only data on Jones is indirect: E. M. Douthit, who wrote the music for some of Jones’ lyrics, lived in Austin, Texas, in 1899, so perhaps Jones was from that area also. --www.hymntime.com/tch
