Looking for what books have two hymns, "My Treasures" and "Gone Home a Little While Before"

Post by meesa » Mon Jun 15, 2015 4:22 am

So, I have two songs, and I'm trying to find out A. What books they're in, and B. if possible, where those books can be purchased.

First Song

My Treasures

By D. D. Jones and Anonymous.

First Stanza:
I have treasured laid up in the city of God,
Bright jewels that never can rust,
For a while they were dwellers in caskets of clay;
But those caskets are now in the dust,
And as here in the light of this beautiful morn,
I number then o're and o're.
I will say to myself in that city above,
I will find my lost jewels once more.


Second Song

By D.D. Jones and Rev. Johnson Oatman Jr.

First stanza
Many friends who once walked by my side
Have gone home with their Lord to abide,
But I know I shall join them once more,
When I land on the heavenly shore.

That one also has a chorus after it.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Go to Hymnary.org and search for "I have treasures laid up in the City of God..." first line. You will see a page of the words and the tune ...but no music.

As for the second hymn, I did not get. If you post whatever other information you can afford, I may be able two help further. Omooba.

Hmm, the Hymnary site has the right words, but wrong tune.

Here are scans of each song:
