Place a Lamp in the Window

Author: Mary J. Cappel Hymnal: The Bright Array #172 (1889) Hymnal Title: The Bright Array Lyrics: 1 Place a lamp in the window, Pray’rfully, constantly lighted; Love and pity united Ask it a duty from thee. Place a lamp in the window; Some poor boy may discover, Far away from his mother, Light that a safeguard will be. Refrain: Place a lamp in the window, Brightly, constantly burning; Oh, how many, beholding, Guided to Jesus may be. 2 Oh, how many that wander Down where the tempter is leading, Through thy lamp in the window, Rescued from ruin may be. Send its rays to the weary, Hungry, friendless and dreary; Oh, what joy it will give them, Light from thy window to see. [Refrain] 3 Place a lamp in thy window; Think of the good thou art doing; Love’s kind labor pursuing, Bringeth reward unto thee. Keep a lamp in the window, Till thy mission is ended; Then forever with Jesus, Crowned with His love thou shalt be. [Refrain] Scripture: Exodus 25:37 Tune Title: [Place a lamp in the window]

W. Howard Doane

1832 - 1915 Person Name: W. H. Doane Hymnal Title: The Bright Array Composer of "[Place a lamp in the window]" in The Bright Array An industrialist and philanthropist, William H. Doane (b. Preston, CT, 1832; d. South Orange, NJ, 1915), was also a staunch supporter of evangelistic campaigns and a prolific writer of hymn tunes. He was head of a large woodworking machinery plant in Cincinnati and a civic leader in that city. He showed his devotion to the church by supporting the work of the evangelistic team of Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey and by endowing Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and Denison University in Granville, Ohio. An amateur composer, Doane wrote over twenty-two hundred hymn and gospel song tunes, and he edited over forty songbooks. Bert Polman ============ Doane, William Howard, p. 304, he was born Feb. 3, 1832. His first Sunday School hymn-book was Sabbath Gems published in 1861. He has composed about 1000 tunes, songs, anthems, &c. He has written but few hymns. Of these "No one knows but Jesus," "Precious Saviour, dearest Friend," and "Saviour, like a bird to Thee," are noted in Burrage's Baptist Hymn Writers. 1888, p. 557. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907) =================== Doane, W. H. (William Howard), born in Preston, Connecticut, 1831, and educated for the musical profession by eminent American and German masters. He has had for years the superintendence of a large Baptist Sunday School in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he resides. Although not a hymnwriter, the wonderful success which has attended his musical setting of numerous American hymns, and the number of his musical editions of hymnbooks for Sunday Schools and evangelistic purposes, bring him within the sphere of hymnological literature. Amongst his collections we have:— (1) Silver Spray, 1868; (2) Pure Gold, 1877; (3) Royal Diadem, 1873; (4) Welcome Tidings, 1877; (5) Brightest and Best, 1875; (6) Fountain of Song; (7) Songs of Devotion, 1870; (8) Temple Anthems, &c. His most popular melodies include "Near the Cross," "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," "Pass me Not," "More Love to Thee," "Rescue the Perishing," "Tell me the Old, Old Story," &c. - John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
