Homer L. Cox
1879 - 1930 Person Name: H. L. C. Author of "It's Real" in Timeless Truths Homer L. Cox (1879-1930) was a turn of the 20th century Quaker/Friends Church preacher. He covered most of the Midwest and a lot of the western United States. His ministry and writings were significant enough to merit a biography shortly after his death. Homer L. Cox: The Man and His Messages, was published by the Cleveland Bible Institute, © 1930.
Cox was typical of a lot of “colorful” preachers and evangelists of that era, such as D.L. Moody and Billy Sunday. He once said that he, “Expressed gratitude for a friend receiving the Holy Ghost’s ‘embalming fluid’ from the great Undertaker in the skies.”
As corny as that statement was Cox redeemed himself in 1907 with the words and music of this great testimony. Although the song is in our hymnals, I remember it mostly being performed as a solo by song evangelists such as my father, Howard Sherrow. And once you learn more about Homer Cox and his personality it’s not difficult to see that these words he wrote are distinctly his “voice.”
