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.
When t wonder thru, the volley dim
Toward the setting of the sun.
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.
