Johnston Hymnal: The Finest of the Wheat #45 (1890) First Line: There's a beautiful time to come to the weary Refrain First Line: In the beautiful time Lyrics: 1 There’s a beautiful time to come, To the weary of heart and sad, When the feet at the riverside Shall be staid at the eventide, And the burdens laid aside, In the beautiful time to come. Refrain: In the beautiful time, In the beautiful time, In the beautiful time to come; We shall rest alway, thro’ eternal day, In the beautiful time to come. 2 In the beautiful time to come, There is fullness of joy in store, When each sorrow shall pass away As the mist at the opening day, And ours songs be heard for aye, In the beautiful time to come. [Refrain] 3 In the beautiful time to come, The time of the gath’ring home, When the tears shall fall no more From the eyes that wept of yore, And the feet shall press that shore, In the beautiful time to come. [Refrain] 4 O the beautiful time to come! The time by the seers foretold, When the loved shall meet once more, When we hear the bending oar, And cross to the other shore, In the beautiful time to come. [Refrain] Tune Title: [There's a beautiful time to come to the weary]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[There's a beautiful time to come to the weary]" in The Finest of the Wheat 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
