There Is Pardon With the Saviour

Author: Juliana E. Anderson Appears in 1 hymnal Hymnal Title: Exalted Praise Lyrics: 1 There is pardon with the Saviour, He’ll cleanse you from your sin, If you’ll only love and trust Him, He will make you pure within. He is standing at the door, And He asks to enter there. Oh! delay not but accept Him, He’ll all your sorrow share. 2 Oh, He is the Rose of Sharon, The fairest of the fair; He is King of many mansions, He’s prepared for you up there. If you’ll only let Him in, And on Him your burden cast, You’ll receive a crown up yonder, And reign with Him at last. 3 Christ your Saviour asks admission, Then let Him in today, He is waiting now to pardon, Oh, then do not say Him nay. He is knocking at your door, He is waiting patiently, Let Him in—the blessed Saviour, Who died on Calvary. Used With Tune: [There is pardon with the Saviour]

Joseph Medlicott Scriven

1819 - 1886 Person Name: Joseph M. Scriven, 1819-1866 Hymnal Title: African American Heritage Hymnal Author of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" in African American Heritage Hymnal Joseph M. Scriven (b. Seapatrick, County Down, Ireland, 1819; d. Bewdley, Rice Lake, ON, Canada, 1886), an Irish immigrant to Canada, wrote this text near Port Hope, Ontario, in 1855. Because his life was filled with grief and trials, Scriven often needed the solace of the Lord as described in his famous hymn. Educated at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, he enrolled in a military college to prepare for an army career. However, poor health forced him to give up that ambition. Soon after came a second blow—his fiancée died in a drowning accident on the eve of their wedding in 1844. Later that year he moved to Ontario, where he taught school in Woodstock and Brantford. His plans for marriage were dashed again when his new bride-to-be died after a short illness in 1855. Following this calamity Scriven seldom had a regular income, and he was forced to live in the homes of others. He also experienced mistrust from neighbors who did not appreciate his eccentricities or his work with the underprivileged. A member of the Plymouth Brethren, he tried to live according to the Sermon on the Mount as literally as possible, giving and sharing all he had and often doing menial tasks for the poor and physically disabled. Because Scriven suffered from depression, no one knew if his death by drowning in Rice Lake was suicide or an accident. Bert Polman ================ Scriven, Joseph. Mr. Sankey, in his My Life and Sacred Songs, 1906, p. 279, says that Scriven was b. in Dublin in 1820, was a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, and went to Canada when he was 25, and died there at Port Hope, on Lake Ontario, in 1886. His hymn:— What a Friend we have in Jesus. [Jesus our Friend] was, according to Mr. Sankey, discovered to be his in the following manner: "A neighbour, sitting up with him in his illness, happened upon a manuscript of 'What a Friend we have in Jesus.' Reading it with great delight, and questioning Mr. Scriven about it, he said he had composed it for his mother, to comfort her in a time of special sorrow, not intending any one else should see it." We find the hymn in H. 1... Hastings's Social Hymns, Original and Selected, 1865, No. 242; and his Song of Pilgrimage, 1886, No. 1291, where it is attributed to "Joseph Scriven, cir. 1855." It is found in many modern collections. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)
