Here is another one with the Title of UNTIL THEN by Charles Johnson and the Revivers. May God rest his soul! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUE75ibCa8E

AIN'T IT PLAIN TO SEE THAT TIME IS GETTING SHORTER
ANYONE CAN TELL THIS WORLD CANNOT STAND
FOR THE THINGS GOD'S CREATED IN THEIR BEAUTY
ARE NOW BEING DESTROYED BY MORTAL MAN

OH BUT GOD IS GONNA RAISE HIM UP A NATION
WHO WILL ABIDE IN HIM AND DO HIS PERFECT WILL
MY FRIEND TIME IS GETTING SHORTER
WHEN WE SHALL SEE OUR SAVIOR AT THE END

BUT UNTIL THEN I'LL LIFT UP THE NAME OF JESUS
UNTIL THEN I'LL LEAD HIS LOST SHEEP TO THE FOLD
I'LL TELL THE WORLD THAT JESUS LIVES HE STILL SAVES AND HE STILL FILLS
YOU STILL CAN FIND SWEET REFUGE FOR YOUR SOUL


ANY DAY NOW I'M GONNA MOVE TO MY NEW MANSION
CUSTON BUILT BY JESUS CHRIST THE KING OF KINGS
WHEN WE GATHER ROUND THE THRONE WITH OUR SAVIOR
WE'LL SING THE SONGS THE ANGELS CANNOT SING

Stuart Hamblen did not write Until Then. Tim Spencer wrote it and then sold it to Stuart. Tim did not have a “name”, and Hollywood at the time and the music industry was very competitive. He also sold many of his songs to Gene Aurey and others. Once a song is sold, the buyer can say he wrote it, when the truth is, he bought it.
Tim Spencer’s publishing company was Manna Music. He was instrumental in helping Andrea Crouch get established. Also he worked with many of the famous choirs in the 60’s and 70’s. Manna Music also published How Great Thou Art.

Stuart Hamblin also wrote the song, "This Old House>" His grandson told the story behind the song at the Bill Gaither Homecoming Concert held in a big tent at the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, North Carolina in 2011. It's on one of the two videos recorded at that event. I believe the titles are "Tent Revival" and "The Old Rugged Cross.'

i found the story behind "Until Then" on youtube told by Mr. hamblen himself

I have the sheet music for "Until Then" if anyone wants it. I need a name and address, I cannot email. [email][email protected][/email]

He was a close friend of John Wayne (he worked in Hollywood). It is believed that he led John Wayne to Christ.

Stuart Hamblen was saved at a Billy Graham crusade . i understand he was an alcoholic that gave his heart to Jesus . he wrote "It Is no Secret" also. Go to youtube and listen to these two songs . he wrote several before he died.

God gave me this song this morning, but I, too, didn't have a copy of it. So I accidently found this wedsit. Thanks so much. What a blessing! Eletha

Stuart has now died, but his wife has a website. You might be able to ask her the story behind the song. It is http://members.aol.com/shpasos/
