Miller, York Hymn 3s Born } BY CUNT BONNER Jesus Hold My Hand From cotton patch io nationally known song writer Had Stephen Foster been highly trained his •ongi might have lacked the originality that has made them immortal. Critics have torn Foster to ahreds. But his songs live on. Some say the verse of Fanny Crosby Is Inferior poetry. But her hymns are found in the most scholarly hymnals. The rea son Is obvious. Each knew how to reach the heart of the public. Of current writers, none has produced songs better loved by the masses . . the man of the street . . . than a modest Midwesterner named Albert E. Brumley. The writer la yet to be born who can produce a masterpiece every time he puts pen to paper. Of Stephen •Foster’s 200 songs, a dozen belong to the ages. Of Fanny Crosby's 9000 hymns, a score will carry her name through the ages As percentages go, the gospel songs of Albert Brumley rank far above those of many writers. At middle age. Brumley has turned out 500 gospel songs. No less than 40 have circled the globe. Half that number promise to be favorites with grandchil dren of the youngest reader of this story. The rea son is obvious. Brumley has a native “feel" for reaching the public heart,, and his songs are identi fled by a sentiment all their own. Albert Brumley grew up in cotton patches of Le- Flore County, Oklahoma, where he was bom In 1905, and where he saw “jots of hardships and-Hean As I travel thru this pilgrim land There is a Friend who walks with me, Leads me safely thru the sinking sand. He is the Christ of Calvary; ,. This would be my proy'r, dear Lord, each day To help me do the best I can. For I need Thy light to guide me day and night Blessed .Jesus, hold my hand Let me travel in the light divine That I may see the blessed way; Keep me that I may be wholly Thine And sing redemption's song some day; I will be a soldier brave and true And ever firmly take a stand. As I onward go and doily meet the foe. Blessed Jesus, hold my hand. times." Attending a rural “singing school" at the age of 16, he determined to make a career of song writ ing. Since that day in the early ‘20s, there has echoed across America and many foreign countries. “If We Never Meet Again,” "111 Meet You In The Morning," ‘Til Fly Away." Td Rather Be An Old- Time Christian.” 'Turn Your Radio On" and many fn other. Operating his own publishing firm, with bis five sons and daughter, at Powell, Mo., the artist turns out his songs in the atmosphere of a typical rural village where he can feel the pulse of the people for whom he writes the average American. * * * MODEST AND RETIRING, Brumley claims little credit for his success. “If you do nothing more in your story," he requests, “please mention that I would probably still be in the cotton fields of Okla homa but for the help of so many dear friends every step of the way.” But Albert Brumley says there is one Friend to whom he owes his greatest debt of gratitude. He wrote a song about Him In 1933 and it still stands at the top of his list. There’s not a lover of* gospel music in America who hasn’t heard It and there’s hardly a radio set from the Atlantic to the Pacific over which these words have not been heard many times during the past two decades.

Lead me safely to a land of reft If'I a crown of life have won; I have put my faith in Thee, dear Lord, That I may reach the golden strand. There's no other friend on whom I con depend. Blessed Jesus, hold my hand. (Chorus) ' 'Jesus, hold my hand, I need Thee every hour. Thru this pilgrim land Protect me by Thy pow'r; Hear my feeble plea, O Lord, look down on me. When I kneel in proy'r I hope to meet you there. Blessed Jesus, hold my hand. (By permission of Albert E. Brumley, Powall, A(U>, owner of copyright.) and shrubs from wiWer injury.
