The Riches Of Heaven
Author: Adel MacDonald Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Not all the treasures of the earth Lyrics: 1 Not all the treasures of the earth,
Can vie for beauty or for worth,
With those who in God’s Word abound,
For there the richest gems are found.
2 No costly vesture do I crave,
No princely jewels would I have,
But robed with Thy humility,
O Savior, I would ever be.
3 The crowns of earth, oh, do not bring,
Tho’ won by proudest prince or king,
For, in a land more bright and fair,
There is the crown I long to wear.
4 Tho’ but a wanderer I roam,
Not here I seek my rest or home,
For I’ve a portion with the blest,
And only there shall be my rest. Used With Tune: GAMBIA Text Sources: Heart Songs, by Frederick A. Fillmore (Cincinnati: Fillmore Brothers, 1893)
The Riches Of Heaven
In Triumph, Joy And Holy Fear
Author: John F. Wade; J. C. Earle Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 In triumph, joy and holy fear,
Draw near, ye faithful souls, draw near;
The infant King of Heav’n is here:
None treads aright but Bethlehem-ward;
Come hither and adore the Lord.
2 A maiden pure—oh, wondrous sight—
Has borne the very Light of light:
God is begotten out of night:
All grace is in this Infant stored;
Come hither, come, adore the Lord.
3 By angels called that bliss to taste,
The shepherds leave their flocks and haste
To see Him in a manger placed:
Then need we further be implored
To hasten and adore the Lord?
4 The wise men too—a star their guide—
By Herod sent, from Salem ride,
With incense, gold and myrrh supplied:
And with their gifts our hearts be poured
At those dear feet of Christ the Lord.
5 The glory of th’eternal Sire
Veiled under flesh we shall admire,
Nor quail before His awful fire:
That Infant swathed shall be adored:
Come hither, come, ’tis Christ the Lord.
6 Such love as this—who would not yearn
To love the lover in return?
Behold, with reverent zeal we burn
To see the Babe proud kings ignored,
And kiss the feet of Christ our Lord.
7 Ye choirs of blissful angels, sing;
Ye vaults of Heav’n, responsive ring,
"All glory to our God and king";
Let floods of harmony be poured
From men below to Christ the Lord.
8 To Thee be glory who, today
In Bethlehem born, dost live alway:
Jesus, let none their steps delay
To visit Thee, th’eternal Word
Made flesh, and worship Christ the Lord.

In Triumph, Joy And Holy Fear
John Francis Wade
1711 - 1786 Person Name: John F. Wade Author of "In Triumph, Joy And Holy Fear" in The Cyber Hymnal John Francis Wade (b. England, c. 1711; d. Douay, France, 1786) is now generally recognized as both author and composer of the hymn "Adeste fideles," originally written in Latin in four stanzas. The earliest manuscript signed by Wade is dated about 1743. By the early nineteenth century, however, four additional stanzas had been added by other writers. A Roman Catholic, Wade apparently moved to France because of discrimination against Roman Catholics in eighteenth-century England—especially so after the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745. He taught music at an English college in Douay and hand copied and sold chant music for use in the chapels of wealthy families. Wade's copied manuscripts were published as Cantus Diversi pro Dominicis et Festis per annum (1751).

Fred A. Fillmore
1856 - 1925 Person Name: Frederick Augustus Fillmore Composer of "GAMBIA" in The Cyber Hymnal Born: May 15, 1856, Paris, Illinois.
Died: November 15, 1925, Terrace Park, Ohio.
Buried: Milford, Ohio.
Frederick Augustus Fillmore, who was born on May 15, 1856, in Paris, IL, one of seven children, five sons and two daughters, born to Augustus Damon and Hannah Lockwood Fillmore. His father was a preacher in the Christian Church, as well as a composer,
songbook compiler, and hymn publisher who developed his own system of musical notation using numbers on the staff in place of note heads. Augustus eventually settled in Cincinnati, OH, and established a music publishing business there. Until 1906, there was no official distinction between "Christian Churches" and "Churches of Christ." The names were used pretty much interchangeably, and many older churches of Christ which are faithful today were once known as "Christian Churches."
Fred and his older brother James took over their father's publishing business following the death of Augustus in 1870 and established the Fillmore Brothers Music House. This became a successful Cincinnati music form, publishing church hymnals and later band and orchestral music. For many years the firm issued a monthly periodical, The Music Messenger. The brothers edited many hymnbooks and produced many songs which became popular. Beginning with the songbook Songs of Glory in 1874, there appeared many Fillmore publications which became widely used through churches, especially in the midwest. For these collections, Fred provided a great deal of hymn tunes.
