Composer Ira David Sankey Ira David Sankey's bio information August 28, 1840 - August 13, 1908 Born: August 28, 1840, Edinburg, Pennsylvania. Died: August 13, 1908, Brooklyn, New York. Buried: GreenWood Cemetery, Brooklyn, New York. Pseudonym: Rian A. Dykes (an anagram of “Ira D. Sankey”) As a young man, Sankey served in the American Civil War. He often helped the unit chaplain and led his fellow soldiers in hymn singing. After the war, he joined the Internal Revenue Service, and also worked with the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA). He became well known as a Gospel singer, and eventually came to the attention of evangelist Dwight Lyman Moody. The two men met at a YMCA convention in Indianapolis, Indiana, in June, 1870. Some months later, Sankey attended his first evangelistic meeting with Moody, and resigned from government service shortly thereafter. In October 1871, Sankey and Moody were in the middle of a revival meeting when the Great Chicago Fire began. The two men barely escaped the conflagration with their lives. Sankey ended up watching the city burn from a rowboat far out on Lake Michigan. Sankey composed about 1,200 songs in his lifetime. He was blind from glaucoma the last five years of his life, and no doubt found a kindred spirit in his friend and music making partner, blind hymnist Fanny Crosby. His works include: Welcome Tidings: A New Collection of Sacred Songs for the Sunday School (with Robert Lowry & Howard Doane) (New York: Biglow & Main, 1877) Gems of Song for the Sunday School (with Hubert Main) (Chicago, Illinois: The Biglow & Main Co., 1901) Music Able to Deliver Army of Endeavor Behold the Wondrous Love Believe and Obey Blessed Redeemer Bring in the Children Christian’s “Good Night”, The Cleansing Fountain, The Clephane Come, Oh Come, with Thy Broken Heart Crewdson Descend, O Flame Faith Is the Victory Glory Ever Be to Jesus Great Jehovah, Mighty Lord Handwriting on the Wall, The Harbor Bell, The Hear Us, O Savior!

Lyrics When the mists have rolled in splendor From the beauty of the hills, And the sunlight falls in gladness On the river and the rills, We recall our Father's promise In the rainbow of the spray; We shall know each other better When the mists have rolled away. Oft we tread the path before us With a weary, burdened heart; Oft we toil among the shadows, And our fields are far apart; But the Saviour's "Come, ye blessed" All our labor will repay When we gather in the morning Where the mists have rolled away. We shall come with joy and gladness, We shall gather 'round the throne; Face to face with those who love us, We shall know as we are known: And the song of our redemption Shall resound thro' endless day When the shadows have departed, And the mists have rolled away. Chorus: We shall know as we are known, Nevermore to walk alone, In the dawning of the morning Of that bright and happy day, We shall know each other better, When the mists have rolled away.
