As promised ~ after two years…
Come, Come Ye Saints, Hymn # 30 is FINALLY available for download!!!
Come, Come Ye Saints is a well known and well loved hymn. Often identified as a ‘Mormon’ hymn, penned by William Clayton in April of 1846 by Locust Creek in Iowa.
It was originally titled “All Is Well“.
For a more historical note on this Hymn, read the article Locust Creek
Exiled from Nauvoo and forced to endure the harshness of the
February – April elements, these words touch the heart with the enduring testimony of their faith and trust in the Lord.
When I sing these words, I remember their sufferings. I also remember that no matter the trial I endure upon the earth, all will be well and, I know, I can look forward to eternal happiness with my family after this life.

“Come, Come, Ye Saints”
Come, come, ye Saints, no toil nor labor fear;
But with joy wend your way.
Though hard to you this journey may appear,
Grace shall be as your day.
‘Tis better far for us to strive
Our useless cares from us to drive;
Do this, and joy your hearts will swell—
All is well! All is well!
Why should we mourn or think our lot is hard?
‘Tis not so; all is right.
Why should we think to earn a great reward
If we now shun the fight?
Gird up your loins; fresh courage take.
Our God will never us forsake;
And soon we’ll have this tale to tell—
All is well! All is well!
We’ll find the place which God for us prepared,
Far away in the West,
Where none shall come to hurt or make afraid;
There the Saints will be blessed.
We’ll make the air with music ring,
Shout praises to our God and King;
Above the rest these words we’ll tell—
All is well! All is well!
And should we die before our journey’s through,
Happy day! All is well!
We then are free from toil and sorrow, too;
With the just we shall dwell!
But if our lives are spared again
To see the Saints their rest obtain,
Oh, how we’ll make this chorus swell—
All is well! All is well!
[“Come, Come, Ye Saints,” Hymn, no. 30]

I wish I would have had this for today. I’ll hang on to this arrangement for next year’s Pioneer Day.
This verse is going to be my theme for the rest of 2014:
‘Tis better far for us to strive
Our useless cares from us to drive;
Do this, and joy your hearts will swell—
All is well! All is well!
So sorry. I had finished it two weeks ago, but forgot to post it. Got a bit tied up with life. I will, however, be working on the sacrament hymns, a couple of thanksgiving hymns and Christmas music over the next few months.
I have finished ‘Oh My Father’ and will be posting that soon.
If you want me to convert a specific hymn, let me know.
I usually need a week, but writing and testing only takes a few days.
Okay, in all Honesty, it only takes a couple of hours, but I don’t have a key to the church so I have to wait for Wednesdays, Sundays, or an activity to get in to test the hymn before posting it.
