Author: Ida Scott Taylor Hymnal: Glorious Praise #74 (1904) First Line: Jesus has promised me a home in heav'n Refrain First Line: Home in my Father's kingdom fair Lyrics: 1 Jesus has promised me a home in heav’n, Safe with the loved ones in his mansion fair; O ‘twill be sweet when earthly ties are riv’n, Resting with Jesus over there. Refrain: Home in my Father’s kingdom fair, Home that my Saviour will prepare; Home, where the blessed angels are, Jesus has promised me over there. 2 Jesus has promised me a crown of gold, When by and by I join the ransomed throng; Then shall I taste the joys of heav’n untold, Then shall I sing the glad New Song. [Refrain] 3 Jesus has promised me a robe of white, Washed in the blood that flowed on Calvary; O I shall praise him in that world of light, When to my home he beckons me.

W. Howard Doane

1832 - 1915 Person Name: W. H. Doane Composer of "[Jesus has promised me a home in heav'n]" in Glorious Praise An industrialist and philanthropist, William H. Doane (b. Preston, CT, 1832; d. South Orange, NJ, 1915), was also a staunch supporter of evangelistic campaigns and a prolific writer of hymn tunes. He was head of a large woodworking machinery plant in Cincinnati and a civic leader in that city. He showed his devotion to the church by supporting the work of the evangelistic team of Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey and by endowing Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and Denison University in Granville, Ohio. An amateur composer, Doane wrote over twenty-two hundred hymn and gospel song tunes, and he edited over forty songbooks. Bert Polman ============ Doane, William Howard, p. 304, he was born Feb. 3, 1832. His first Sunday School hymn-book was Sabbath Gems published in 1861. He has composed about 1000 tunes, songs, anthems, &c. He has written but few hymns. Of these "No one knows but Jesus," "Precious Saviour, dearest Friend," and "Saviour, like a bird to Thee," are noted in Burrage's Baptist Hymn Writers. 1888, p. 557. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907) =================== Doane, W. H. (William Howard), born in Preston, Connecticut, 1831, and educated for the musical profession by eminent American and German masters. He has had for years the superintendence of a large Baptist Sunday School in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he resides. Although not a hymnwriter, the wonderful success which has attended his musical setting of numerous American hymns, and the number of his musical editions of hymnbooks for Sunday Schools and evangelistic purposes, bring him within the sphere of hymnological literature. Amongst his collections we have:— (1) Silver Spray, 1868; (2) Pure Gold, 1877; (3) Royal Diadem, 1873; (4) Welcome Tidings, 1877; (5) Brightest and Best, 1875; (6) Fountain of Song; (7) Songs of Devotion, 1870; (8) Temple Anthems, &c. His most popular melodies include "Near the Cross," "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," "Pass me Not," "More Love to Thee," "Rescue the Perishing," "Tell me the Old, Old Story," &c. - John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
