O blest, immortal bloom;

O beautiful heav’nly light,
So wonderful, pure and bright;
Point me still to Zion’s hill,
Beautiful heav’nly light.

Comes down my soul to cheer;
Though tangled thorn my heart hath torn,
Still, still thy light is near. [Refrain]

To that blest shore where night no more
Shall veil the brow of day. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [O precious flowers! O glorious bowers!] Text Sources: The Wells of Salvation by John R. Sweney and William J. Kirkpatrick (Philadelphia: John J. Hood, 1881)

William J. Kirkpatrick
1838 - 1921 Person Name: William James Kirkpatrick Composer of "[O precious flowers! O glorious bowers!]" in The Cyber Hymnal 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.
