Author: William Hunter (1811-77) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #905 (1986) First Line: We're bound for the land of the pure and the holy Lyrics: 1 We're bound for the land of the pure and the holy; The home of the happy, the Kingdom of love; Ye wanderers from God in the broad road of folly O say, will you go to the Eden above? Refrain: Will you go? Will you go? Will you go? Will you go? O say, will you go to the Eden above? 2 In that blessèd land neither sighing nor anguish Can breathe in the fields where the glorified rove Ye heart-burdened ones, who in misery languish, O say, will you go to the Eden above? 3 Each saint has a mansion, prepared and all furnished, Ere from this small house he is summoned to move; Its gates and its towers with glory are burnished; O say, will you go to the Eden above? 4 March on, happy soldiers, the land is before you, And soon its ten thousand delights we shall prove Yes, soon we’ll be massed on the hills of bright Glory, And drink the pure joys of the Eden above. Refrain: We will go! We will go! We will go! We will go! O yes, we will go to the Eden above! Topics: The Life to Come Languages: English

William Hunter

1811 - 1877 Person Name: Wm. Hunter Author of "We're Bound for the Land" in The Gospel Trumpeter 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.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

Anonymous

Author of "Will you go, will you go" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book 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.
