The free tab for August is a 2-part arrangement of the hymn "Beautiful Isle
of Somewhere". The words were penned in 1897 by Jesse B. Pounds. Her
husband, the Reverand John Pounds, was the pastor of the Central Christian
Church in Indianapolis, IN at the time. It quickly became a standard
for use at funerals and memorial services. It conveys a sense of hope and
comfort to those who have lost a loved one. Over her lifetime, Jesse wrote
the texts for over 400 gospel tunes. Some of her other well-known hymns
include "We Are Going Down the Valley", "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth", "Going
On", and "The Way of the Cross Leads Hom
e".
The hymn was said to be a favorite of President William McKinley, who was
assassinated at the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, NY in 1901. It was
performed at his funeral services by the Euterpean Quartette.
Here's a link to a YouTube video of an instrumental arrangement of this tune:
Here are the complete set of lyrics:
- Somewhere the sun is shining,
Somewhere the songbirds dwell;
Hush, then, thy sad repining,
God lives, and all is well.Refrain:
Somewhere, somewhere,
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere!
Land of the true, where we live anew,
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere! - Somewhere the day is longer,
Somewhere the task is done;
Somewhere the heart is stronger,
Somewhere the prize is won - Somewhere the load is lifted,
Close by an open gate;
Somewhere the clouds are rifted,
Somewhere the angels wait.
Cheers,
--Tull
