Author: Thomas O. Chisholm Hymnal: Great Songs of the Church (Revised) #326 (1986) Lyrics: 1 Bring Christ your broken life, So marred by sin, He will create anew, Make whole again; Your empty, wasted years He will restore, And your iniquities Remember no more. 2 Bring Him your ev'ry care if great or small-- Whatever troubles you--O bring it all! Bring Him the haunting fears, The nameless dread, Thy heart He will relieve, And lift up thy head. 3 Bring Him your weariness, Receive His rest; Weep out your blinding tears Upon His breast; His love is wonderful, His pow'r is great, "And none that trust in Him Shall be desolate." 4 Blest Savior of us all! Almighty Friend! His presence shall be ours Unto the end; Without Him life would be How dark, how drear! But with Him morning breaks, And heaven is near!

Thomas O. Chisholm

1866 - 1960 Person Name: T. O. Chisholm Author of "Bring Christ Your Broken Life" in Great Songs of the Church 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 as 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.

L. O. Sanderson

1901 - 1992 Composer of "HOLY MANNA" in Great Songs of the Church See also Vana R. Raye (pseudonym). ================== Lloyd Otis Sanderson was born May 18, 1901 near Jonesboro, Arkansas. His father was a singing teacher. There were a variety of musical instruments in the home, so all of his children learned to sing and play instruments from early in life. He studied and taught music most of early teens and twenties and then began to serve churches for Churches of Christ. Among Churches of Christ, L.O Sanderson is one of a handful of significant individuals who helped to codify the hymnody of this denomination in the early and mid 20th century. Dozens of his songs remain at the core of this group’s hymnody. As Musical Editor for the Gospel Advocate Company of Nashville during the hymnal heyday of the mid 20th century, Sanderson was responsible not only for the editing of a number of important hymnals, but for helping to shape the church’s song. He composed a number under the pen name of Vana Raye in tribute to his wife. As a composer of both lyrics and music, Sanderson collaborated with a number of individuals, the most notable being his friend, Thomas O. Chisholm, with whom he wrote “Be With Me, Lord,” perhaps his most popular hymn.
