I'm a lonely traveler here

Hymnal: The American Vocalist #282a (1849) Tune Title: YONDER'S MY HOME!

Hymnal: Linden Harp #30 (1855) First Line: I'm a lonely trav'ler here Lyrics: 1 I'm a lonely trav'ler here, Weary, opprest; But my journey's end is near, Soon I shall rest, Dark and dreary is the way, Tolling I've come; Ask me not with you to stay; Yonder's my home. 2 I'm a weary trav'ler here, I must go on; For my journey's end is near, I must be gone. Brighter joys than earth can give, Win me away; Pleasures that forever live, I cannot stay. 3 I'm a trav'ler to a land Where all is fair; Where is seen no broken band; Saints, all are there. Where no tear shall ever fall, Nor heart be sad; Where the glory is for all, And all are glad. 4 I'm a trav'ler, and I go Where all is fair; Farewell, as I've loved below, I must be there Worldly honors, hopes, and gain, All I resign; Welcome sorrow, grief, and pain, If heav'n be mine. 5 I'm a trav'ler, call me not; Upward's my way; Yonder is my rest and lot, I cannot stay. Farewell, earthly pleasures all, Pilgrim I roam; Hail me not; in vain you call, Yonder's my home. Languages: English Tune Title: YONDER'S MY HOME

Nathaniel Billings

1768 - 1853 Person Name: N. Billings Composer of "YONDER'S MY HOME!" in The American Vocalist Nathaniel Billings, born in Northbourough, Massachusetts in 1768. It is not known how Billings learned music, but there were several singing masters close to where he lived. He may have been mentored by Abraham Wood, Joseph Stone, or Jacob French. Woods and Stone published Billing's first-published tune NEW SPRINGFIELD in their 1793 The Columbian Harmony. However, Billing's style more closely resembles that of Jacob French. Billings taught a singing school in Cooperstown, New York in 1794. In 1795 he moved to the Troy-Lansingburgh area north of Albany where he published a newspaper, the Recorder with George Gardner, and issued his tunebook The Republican Harmony. In 1797 he married and settled in Paterson, New Jersey. It is not known what sort of work Billings did in Paterson, but he is listed in the 1850 census as a musician.
