Where Are They Going?
Author: Ella E. Miles Meter: 10.10 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Where are they going—these swift, restless feet? Lyrics: 1 Where are they going—these swift, restless feet?
Where are they bearing the crowd that we meet?
Here, and now there they pass quickly along;
Which way will they carry the fast, changing throng?
2 Where are they going? On missions of love,
Spreading the tidings of Jesus above?
Bearing some one who will gladly repeat
Stories of mercy, so wondrously sweet?
3 Where are they going? Two paths lie before,
One or the other we all must pass o’er;
Broad one of death—that is crowded today—
Narrow, of life, but so few on the way.
4 Where are they going? O say, little one,
Over which way will thy tender feet run?
Life’s journey starting, with steps all ahead—
Where are they going? Which path will you tread? Used With Tune: RASHT Text Sources: Carols of Hope (Boston: Advent Christian Publication Society, 1906)

Frederick S. Stanton
1857 - 1915 Person Name: F. S. Stanton, Mus. Bac. Composer of "[Where are they going these swift, restless feet?]" in Carols of Hope Stanton, Frederick S. (New Bedford, Massachusetts, December 20, 1857--October 1, 1915, New Bedford). Held a Bachelor of Music degree and was ordained to the Advent Christian ministry. He held pastorates at Hudson Falls, New York and Lawrence, Mass. Ill health and a final paralysis limited activity in his later years, although he supplied in various churches around New Bedford.
He wrote words and music to a number of hymns, and composed the music for other Advent Christian hymn-writers. He was secretary of the Southern Massachusetts District Conference of his denomination. He contributed to the preparation of several of its hymnals, and was co-editor of The Golden Sheaf (1898), Carols of Hope (1906) and The Advent Christian Hymnal (1913). His obituary, by Willis G. Brown, is in The World's Crisis, 20 October 1915, p. 15.
