The bird with a broken wing

Author: Hezekiah Butterworth; P. P. Bilhorn Hymnal: Northfield Hymnal #118 (1904) First Line: I walked thro' the woodland meadows Lyrics: 1 I walked thro’ the woodland meadows, Where sweet the thrushes sing; And found on a bed of mosses, A bird with a broken wing. I healed its wound, and each morning It sang its old sweet strain; But the bird with a broken pinion Never soared as high again. 2 I found a young life broken By sin’s seductive art; And touched with a Christ-like pity I took him to my heart, He lived with a noble purpose, And struggled not in vain; But the life that sin hath stricken Never soared as high again. 3 But the bird with a broken pinion Kept another from the snare; And the life that sin hath stricken Raised another from despair. Each loss has its compensation, There is healing for every pain; But the bird with a broken pinion Never soared as high again. 4 But the soul that comes to Jesus Is saved from every sin, And the heart that fully trusts Him Shall a crown of glory win; Then come to the dear Redeemer, He’ll cleanse you from every stain; By His wonderful love and mercy You shall surely rise again.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "The Bird with a Broken Wing" in Crowning Glory No. 2 In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Rob­lin (a an­a­gram of his name) ================ Peter Philip Bilhorn was born, in Mendota, IL. His father died in the Civil War 3 months before he was born. His early life was not easy. At age 8, he had to leave school to help support the family. At age 15, living in Chicago, he had a great singing voice and sang in German beer gardens there. At this time, he and his brother also formed the Eureka Wagon & Carriage Works in Chicago, IL. At 18 Peter became involved in gospel music, studying under George F. Root and George C. Stebbins. He traveled to the Dakotas and spent some time sharing the gospel with cowboys there. He traveled extensively with D. L. Moody, and was Billy Sunday's song leader on evangelistic endeavors. His evangelistic work took him into all the states of the Union, Great Britain, and other foreign countries. In London he conducted a 4000 voice choir in the Crystal Palace, and Queen Victoria invited him to sing in Buckinghm Palace. He wrote some 2000 gospel songs in his lifetime. He also invented a folding portable telescoping pump organ, weighing 16 lbs. It could be set up in about a minute. He used it at revivals in the late 19th century. He founded the Bilhorn Folding Organ Company in Chicago. IL, and his organ was so popular it was sold all over the world. He edited 10 hymnals and published 11 gospel songbooks. He died in Los Angeles, CA, in 1936. John Perry
