Baxter grew up in DeKalb County, Alabama. In 1926, he bought part of Virgil Stamps’ Gospel music firm, which became the Stamps-Baxter Music and Printing Company, one of the most successful Gospel music publishers of the early 20th Century. Baxter ran the company’s Chattanooga, Tennessee, office until Stamps’ death in 1940, then moved to Dallas, Texas, to run the main office. After Baxter’s death, his wife, Clarice, ran the business until she died; it was then sold to Zondervan. Baxter was inducted into the Southern Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame in 1997.
Lyrics--
After the Sunrise
Farther Along
God Shall Wipe Away All Tears (© 1940)
He Bore It All
I Have Peace in My Soul
I Hold His Hand (© 1929)
I Love My Savior, Too
I Want to Help Some Weary Pilgrim
I’m Living in Canaan Now
Living Grace
Praise the Lamb of God
Something Happens
Travel the Sunlit Way
Try Jesus
When He Blessed My Soul
When We Meet to Part No More
