Only in Thee

Author: Thomas Obediah Chisholm Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5263 First Line: Only in Thee, O Savior mine Lyrics: 1. Only in Thee, O Savior mine, Dwelleth my soul in peace divine, Peace that the world, though all combine, Never can take from me. Pleasures of earth, so seemingly sweet, Fail at the last my longings to meet; Only in Thee my bliss is complete, Only, dear Lord, in Thee! 2. Only in Thee a radiance bright, Shines like a beacon in the night, Guiding my pilgrim bark aright, Over life’s trackless sea. Only in Thee, when troubles molest, When with temptation I am oppressed, There is a sweet pavilion of rest, Only, dear Lord, in Thee! 3. Only in Thee, when days are drear, When neither sun nor stars appear, Still I can trust and feel no fear, Sing when I cannot see. Only in Thee, whatever betide, All of my need is freely supplied; There is no help nor helper beside, Only, dear Lord, in Thee! 4. Only in Thee, dear Savior, slain, Losing Thy life my own to gain, Trusting, I’m cleansed from ev’ry stain; Thou art my only plea. Only in Thee my heart will delight, Till in that land where cometh no night Faith will be lost in heavenly sight, Only, dear Lord, in Thee!

Thomas O. Chisholm

1866 - 1960 Person Name: Thomas Obediah Chisholm Author of "Only in Thee" in The Cyber Hymnal Thomas O. Chisholm was born in Franklin, Kentucky in 1866. His boyhood was spent on a farm and in teaching district schools. He spent five years as editor of the local paper at Franklin. He was converted to Christianity at the age of 26 and soon after was business manager and office editor of the "Pentecostal Herald" of Louisville, Ky. In 1903 he entered the ministry of the M. E. Church South. His aim in writing was to incorporate as much Scripture as possible and to avoid flippant or sentimental themes. Dianne Shapiro, from "The Singers and Their Songs: sketches of living gospel hymn writers" by Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (Chicago: The Rodeheaver Company, 1916) ============================== Signed letter from Chisholm dated 9 August 1953 located in the DNAH Archives.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel Composer of "[Only in Thee, O Savior mine]" in The Cyber Hymnal Pseudonyms: C. D. Emerson, Charlotte G. Homer, S. B. Jackson, A. W. Lawrence, Jennie Ree ============= For the first seventeen years of his life Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (b. Wilton, IA, 1856; d. Los Angeles, CA, 1932) lived on an Iowa farm, where friends and neighbors often gathered to sing. Gabriel accompanied them on the family reed organ he had taught himself to play. At the age of sixteen he began teaching singing in schools (following in his father's footsteps) and soon was acclaimed as a fine teacher and composer. He moved to California in 1887 and served as Sunday school music director at the Grace Methodist Church in San Francisco. After moving to Chicago in 1892, Gabriel edited numerous collections of anthems, cantatas, and a large number of songbooks for the Homer Rodeheaver, Hope, and E. O. Excell publishing companies. He composed hundreds of tunes and texts, at times using pseudonyms such as Charlotte G. Homer. The total number of his compositions is estimated at about seven thousand. Gabriel's gospel songs became widely circulated through the Billy Sunday-Homer Rodeheaver urban crusades. Bert Polman
