Author: Francis A. Simkins Hymnal: Joyful Sound #17 (1889) First Line: Dark are the waters before me Refrain First Line: Carry me over the tide Lyrics: 1 Dark are the waters before me,— Loud is the voice of the gale; Storm-cloud and tempest are o’er me, Boatman! oh, list to my hail. Refrain: Carry me over the tide, Dark are the waters, and deep and wide; Yonder, just over the sea, My mansion is waiting for me. 2 Onward I move o’er the waters, Lurid the lightning’s fierce glare, Angry the surges beneath me,— Boatman! lo, danger is there. [Refrain] 3 Peril is in the dark waters,— Safety beyond the deep wave; Father! oh, let me not perish— Thou who are mighty to save. [Refrain] 4 Ah, when the voyage is over, There, on that beautiful shore, Safely beyond the dark waters, Joy shall be mine forevermore.

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Dark are the waters before me]" in Joyful Sound William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
