Hymnal: Kind Words #70 (1871) Lyrics: 1 And may I still get there?
Still reach the heav'nly shore?
The land forever bright and fair,
Where sorrow reigns no more.
Chorus:
There'll be no parting there,
There'll be no parting there;
In heav'n alone no sorrow's known,
There'll be no parting there.
2 Shall I, unworthy I,
To fear and doubting giv'n,
Mount up at last, and happy fly
On angel's wings to heav'n. [Chorus]
3 Hail, love divine and pure!
Hail, mercy from the skies!
My hopes are bright and now secure,
Upborne by faith I rise. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: NO PARTING THERE
And may I still get there?

Hymnal: The Minstrel of Zion #125 (1845) Lyrics: 1 And may I still get there?
Still reach the heavenly shore?
That land for ever fair,
Where sorrow reigns no more?
Shall I, unworthy I,
To fear and doubting given,
Mount up at last and fly
On angel’s wings to heaven.
2 My soul has been a prey
To guilt and dark despair;
Can God, I used to say,
Hear such a sinner's pray'r?
Or must I groan and weep,
Unheard by him on high,
And sink to torments deep,
For ever there to die!
3 How often have I fear'd
I ne'er should see bright heaven,
But when the Lord appear'd
Should from his face be driven;
Should from the holy part,
Should bid my friends farewell,
And seek, with quivering heart,
My fitting home in hell.
4 Hail, love divine and pure!
Hail, mercy from the skies!
My hopes are now secure,
Unborne by faith I rise;
I part with earth and sin,
And shout the dangers past;
My Saviour takes me in,
And I am his at last. Tune Title: TRIUMPH OVER DESPONDENCY

William Hunter
1811 - 1877 Author of "And may I still get there" Hunter, William, D.D, son of John Hunter, was born near Ballymoney, County Antrim, Ireland, May 26, 1811. He removed to America in 1817, and entered Madison College in 1830. For some time he edited the Conference Journal, and the Christian Advocate. In 1855 he was appointed Professor of Hebrew in Alleghany College: and subsequently Minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at Alliance, Stark Country, Ohio. He died in 1877. He edited Minstrel of Zion, 1845; Select Melodies, 1851; and Songs of Devotion, 1859. His hymns, over 125 in all, appeared in these works. Some of these have been translated into various Indian languages. The best known are :—
1. A home in heaven; what a joyful thought. Heaven a Home. From his Minstrel of Zion, 1845, into the Methodist Scholar's Hymn Book, London, 1870, &c.
2. Joyfully, joyfully onward I [we] move. Pressing towards Heaven. This hymn is usually dated 1843. It was given in his Minstrel of Zion, 1845, and Select Melodies, 1851, and his Songs of Devotion, 1859. It has attained to great popularity. Two forms of the hymn are current, the original, where the second stanza begins "Friends fondly cherished, have passed on before"; and the altered form, where it reads: “Teachers and Scholars have passed on before." Both texts are given in W. F. Stevenson's Hymns for Church & Home, 1873, Nos. 79, 80, c.
3. The [My] heavenly home is bright and fair. Pressing towards Heaven. From his Minstrel of Zion, 1845, into the Cottage Melodies, New York, 1859, and later collections.
4. The Great Physician now is near. Christ the Physician. From his Songs of Devotion, 1859
5. Who shall forbid our grateful[chastened]woe? This hymn, written in 1843, was published in his Minstrel of Zion, 1845, and in his Songs of Devotion, 1859. [ Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]
