In his 1907 dictionary on hymnody, John Julian lists the hymns by Robert Lowry "which have attained the widest circulation." How things have changed since 1907! Not only does Julian fail to list "All the Way My Savior Leads Me" and "We're Marching to Zion!" (to be fair, he may have been listing merely hymns which Lowry wrote the words to), but some of the hymns he does list have lapsed into total obscurity! Take "Beautiful Land of Rest" for instance.

How things have changed since 1907! Not only does Julian fail to list "All the Way My Savior Leads Me" and "We're Marching to Zion!" (to be fair, he may have been listing merely hymns which Lowry wrote the words to), but some of the hymns he does list have lapsed into total obscurity! Take "Beautiful Land of Rest" for instance. In 36 hymnals in its day, it hasn't made it into a hymnal since before the Great Depression! Which is too bad, because it is a really beautiful tune. Lowry did a great job as always with the piece, and it deserves to be heard once again. I hope it is a blessing to your congregation! 1. Jerusalem, forever bright— Beautiful land of rest, No winter there, no chill of night— Beautiful land of rest! The dripping cloud is chased away, The sun breaks forth in endless day— Jerusalem, Jerusalem, The beautiful land of rest. 2. Jerusalem, forever free— Beautiful land of rest! The soul’s sweet home of liberty— Beautiful land of rest! The gyves of sin, the chains of woe, The ransomed there will never know, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, The beautiful land of rest. 3. Jerusalem, forever dear— Beautiful land of rest! Thy pearly gates almost appear— Beautiful land of rest! And when we tread thy lovely shore, We’ll sing the song we’ve sung before— Jerusalem, Jerusalem, The beautiful land of rest. Chorus: Beautiful land, beautiful land, Beautiful land of rest; Beautiful land, beautiful land, Beautiful land of rest.
