Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: I love to read and think of Jesus Lyrics: 1 I love to read and think of Jesus, The precious Lamb of God, Who came to die for my salvation, Down from His bright abode! He saw me in my cruel bondage, And came to set me free, He came to die for chief of sinners, Yes, Jesus died for me! 2 I love to talk and sing of Jesus, And feel He's by my side, Tho' yet unseen, His spirit's with me, My feeble steps to guide! 'Tis sweet in ev'ry joy and sorrow, In life's or death's alarms, To lean upon His loving bosom, And rest within His arms! 3 I want His love to so possess me, Wherever I may be, That I may show to dying sinners, What it has done for me! Yes, may I read and think of Jesus, And talk and sing and pray, And thank Him for this great salvation, I know is mine today! 4 I want one day to be with Jesus In that bright home above, And taste in all its precious fullness, The riches of His love! I'd go each day still nearer to Him, The source of all my bliss, Then, growing more and more yet like Him, To see Him as He is! Used With Tune: [I love to read and think of Jesus]

He was inclined to music from a child and appropriated all the advantages in this line that came his way. Many things of minor importance happened along his life but in 1884 he fell into a meeting conducted by Maj. W. E. Penn, and the superior music rendered there awaked all his latent talent and set him on fire with a desire to make a musician. He at once began a musical career that has attained an abundant success. He soon began teaching and continuing to study to became a composer. He sought the association of those who could teach him and in this and other ways has enjoyed advantages of the best talent to be found. In 1893 he began publishing.

He moved later to Myrtle Springs to secure the benefit of the wonderful waters of those springs. He is given great credit for good influence wielded for his church and community.
