Something More than Gold
Author: John Martin Hymnal: RS1900 #C2 (1937) First Line: A certain man of whom we read Refrain First Line: O yes, my friend! there's something more Lyrics: 1 A certain man of whom we read
Who lived in days of old,
Though he was rich, he felt his need
Of something more than gold.
Refrain:
O yes, my friend! there’s something more,
something more than gold,
To know your sins are all forgiv'n
is something more than gold.
2 It happen'd on a certain day
This little man was told
That Jesus soon would pass that way
With something more than gold. [Refrain]
3 He climb'd a tree above the crowd
So that he might behold
The blessed One with pow'r to give
something more than gold. [Refrain]
4 The Saviour came along the way,
And saw him on the tree,
Then calling to him Jesus said:
'I must abide with thee!' [Refrain]
5 So he obey'd, and soon he found
The half had not been told,
The blessing Jesus brought to him
Was better far than gold. [Refrain] Topics: Choruses Languages: English Tune Title: [A certain man of whom we read]
Something More than Gold
Knowles Shaw
1834 - 1878 Hymnal Number: 463 Author of "Bringing in the Sheaves" in Redemption Songs Knowles Shaw (1834-1878), a name familiar in many western households--was born near New London, in Morgan Township, Ohio, on the 13th of October, 1834. His mother's maiden name was Huldah Griffin, and by both of his parents he was of Scottish extraction. His early life was spent in Rush County, Indiana, where he first began to play the violin, furnishing the music for many a dance. While the ball was going on he was converted, ceasing to play in the middle of the piece he was performing. Very soon thereafter he entered the ministry of the Christian Church. On the 11th of January, 1855, he married Miss Martha Finley. Most of his time after entering the ministry was spent in the West and South, and on account of his wonderful vocal powers he was called the "singing evangelist."
As a singer he was considered, in some respects, equal to Sankey and Bliss. reporters of the press al spoke of his singing as something wonderful. Soon after beginning to preach, he began to compose and to write music. His first song was "The Shining Ones," still popular. He published at different times five singing-books: "Shining Pearls," "Golden Gate," "Sparkling Jewels," "The Gospel Trumpet," and the "Morning Star." "Bringing in the Sheaves" was one of the last songs from his hand.
His last meeting was held in Dallas, Texas, in May 1878. He was killed by a railroad accident, going from Dallas to McKinney, on the 7th of June, 1878. During his ministry he baptized over eleven thousand persons.

Joseph Haydn
1732 - 1809 Person Name: Franz Joseph Haydn Hymnal Number: 492b Composer of "AUSTRIAN HYMN" in Redemption Songs Franz Joseph Haydn (b. Rohrau, Austria, 1732; d. Vienna, Austria, 1809) Haydn's life was relatively uneventful, but his artistic legacy was truly astounding. He began his musical career as a choirboy in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, spent some years in that city making a precarious living as a music teacher and composer, and then served as music director for the Esterhazy family from 1761 to 1790. Haydn became a most productive and widely respected composer of symphonies, chamber music, and piano sonatas. In his retirement years he took two extended tours to England, which resulted in his "London" symphonies and (because of G. F. Handel's influence) in oratorios. Haydn's church music includes six great Masses and a few original hymn tunes. Hymnal editors have also arranged hymn tunes from various themes in Haydn's music.
