Author Amos Sutton Amos Sutton's bio information January 21, 1802 - August 17, 1854 Born: January 21, 1802, Sevenoaks, Kent, England. Died: August 17, 1854, Cuttack, Orissa, India. The Baptist Foreign Missionary Society sent Sutton to India in 1825. He was stationed at Cuttack, in Orissa Province, where he compiled an Oriya dictionary, and translated a number of English texts into Oriya. He also prepared the first Oriya hymnal, 179 of the hymns being his own original work. The American College of Waterville awarded him a Doctor of Divinity degree. Sources * Julian, p. 1104 Lyrics 1. Hail! Sweetest, Dearest Tie That Binds 2. Macedonian Cry, The Source: http://www.cyberhymnal.org/bio/s/u/t/sutton_a.htm --------------------------------------------------- THE well-known hymn,— "Hail, sweetest, dearest tie that binds!" was written by the truly excellent and learned Dr. Sutton, who died after many years of successful missionary labor at Orissa, India. He was of very humble origin, and in early life was distinguished for gnorance and profanity. Changed by the grace of God, he attached himself to a General Baptist Church in London, and, after due preparation, engaged in missionary labors. He more than once visited this country, and deeply interested the Free-Will Baptists in the cause to which he had devoted his life. For his second wife he married an American lady. However beautiful the hymn to which we have alluded, its full excellence could only be realized by those who heard it read and sung by its author, who not unfrequently closed the public meetings he attended by leading in its use. At one of these meetings, at the close of an ordination in which we were engaged with him, in 1834, in the English metropolis, we heard it for the first time; nor do we expect, if by sovereign mercy we reach the heavenly world, to lose the still cherished feelings which it then excited.

Lyrics Hail, sweetest, dearest tie that binds Our glowing hearts in one; Hail, sacred hope, that tunes our minds To sing what God hath done. It is the hope, the blissful hope, Which gospel grace hath given; The hope, when days and years are past, We all shall meet in heaven. From eastern shores, from northern lands, From western hill and plain, From southern climes, the brother-bands May hope to meet again; It is the hope, the blissful hope, Which love divine hath given: The hope, when life and time are o'er, We all shall meet in heaven. No hope deferred, no parting sigh, That blessed meeting knows; There friendship beams from every eye, And hope immortal grows. It is the hope, the precious hope, Which boundless grace hath given: The hope, when time shall be no more, We all shall meet in heaven.
