My End, Lord, Make Me Know

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4396 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. My end, Lord, make me know, My days, how soon they fail; And to my thoughtful spirit show How weak I am and frail. 2. To Thy eternal thought My days are but a span; To Thee my years appear as naught, A breath at best is man. 3. O Lord, regard my fears, And answer my request; Turn not in silence from my tears, But give the mourner rest. 4. I am a stranger here, Dependent on Thy grace, A pilgrim, as my fathers were, With no abiding place. Languages: English Tune Title: GREENWOOD

Author of "My End, Lord, Make Me Know" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

1846 - 1945 Person Name: Geo. C. Stebbins Composer of "[My end, Lord, make me know]" in Bible Songs No. 4 Stebbins studied music in Buffalo and Rochester, New York, then became a singing teacher. Around 1869, he moved to Chicago, Illinois, to join the Lyon and Healy Music Company. He also became the music director at the First Baptist Church in Chicago. It was in Chicago that he met the leaders in the Gospel music field, such as George Root, Philip Bliss, & Ira Sankey. At age 28, Stebbins moved to Boston, Massachusetts, where he became music director at the Claredon Street Baptist Church; the pastor there was Adoniram Gordon. Two years later, Stebbins became music director at Tremont Temple in Boston. Shortly thereafter, he became involved in evangelism campaigns with Moody and others. Around 1900, Stebbins spent a year as an evangelist in India, Egypt, Italy, Palestine, France and England. (www.hymntime.com/tch)
