Let Them Come to Me

Hymnal: New Onward and Upward #58 (1909) First Line: Jesus loves a little child Languages: English Tune Title: [Jesus loves a little child]

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #752 (1972) Meter: 7.7.6.5.7.7.7.5 Lyrics: 1 Jesus loves a little child, Smiling in its childish glee; Says of such in accents mild, "Let them come to me." Let them come, forbid them not, They will sing around the throne; Millions now are singing there, Millions more may come. 2 In the blessed Sunday school, They are taught to fear the Lord; Here they find his holy way, Learn to love his word. Armed with this they may go forth, Triumph over ev'ry foe, Spreading joy o'er all the earth, Soothing human woe. 3 When life's toilsome work is done, When the stormy strife is o'er, Then around his shining throne, On the blissful shore, Shall his happy children meet, Sing and shout, their suff'rings o'er, Cast their crowns at Jesus' feet, Praise him evermore.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Jesus Loves a Little Child" in The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 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.

E. T. Hildebrand

1866 - 1931 Composer of "LET THEM COME TO ME" in The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 Born: January 18, 1866, Rockingham County, Virginia. Died: March 23, 1931. Buried: Weaver Mennonite Church Cemetery, Dayton, Virginia. Hildebrand attended the public schools and Shenandoah Seminary. His mother taught him to sing as soon as he could talk, but his first regular teacher was D. M. Click. He later studied with James Ruebush, Benjamin Unseld, P. J. Merges, George and Frederick Root, C. B. Shaw, F. H. Tubbs and others. He began teaching singing schools during the summer months while pursuing his college course. He was elected principal of the Dayton Music School in 1894, resigning in 1899 to become Director of Music at Bridgewater College, Virginia. He owned the Hildebrand-Burnette music publishing company in Waynesboro, Virginia, and helped edit several music books. Hildebrand married Zona T. Wise in 1902. His parents and other members of his family were Mennonites, but his membership was with the United Brethren Church. --www.hymntime.com/tch/ ================= Ephraim Timothy Hildebrand (1866-1932) was raised in a Mennonite family near Bridgewater and Dayton, Virginia. He attended Shenandoah College, associated with the United Brethren Church, and was a member of that body during his adult life.(Gospel Herald) He studied music education at Shenandoah, which at that time was located in Dayton, VA, where he also joined the influential circle of the Ruebush-Kieffer gospel music enterprise. From 1895-99 Hildebrand actually directed the music program at Shenandoah, rather remarkable for such a recent graduate; then beginning in 1899 he did the same at Bridgewater College. In the early 20th century he also pursued a more classical career in New York City, studying under the popular composer George F. Root and singing with the New York Oratorio Society.(Bridgewater) A search of Worldcat.org shows that Hildebrand continued to publish primarily in the gospel song genre, however, collaborating with the Fillmore Brothers and even decidedly "Southern gospel" publishers such as James D. Vaughan and Virgil O. Stamps. For someone who was so active and apparently well-known in his time, it is surprising how few of his works have survived to the present day. --drhamrick.blogspot.com
