Blessed are they henceforth that die
Author: R. F. Cottrell Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blessed are they henceforth that die
Reclining on the Saviour's breast;
They cease from every care and sigh,
From all their labors they have rest.
2 No more they meet with cruel foes,
No more with anxious care oppressed:
They warred the conflict till life's close;
Their toil is o'er, they sweetly rest.
3 The living saints have yet to meet
And brave the tempter's utmost ire;
The grave will be a blest retreat
While earth is whelmed in troubles dire.
4 Thy righteous will be done, O God!
To meet the foe and overcome,
Or lay me down beneath the sod
To rest till thou shalt call me home. Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: WOODWORTH

In 1830 the family moved to Boston, where he first saw and heard an organ and piano, and other instruments. He became an organist at 15.

He conducted a 1000 children choir there, which resulted in music being taught as regular study in public schools of the city. He began writing music and publishing it. In 1847 he went with his wife to Europe to study with some of the music masters in London and also Germany. He attended Mendelssohn funeral while there. He went to Switzerland before returning to the states, and upon returning, commenced teaching, conducting conventions, composing, and editing music books.
