Author Walter Orcutt Cushing Walter Orcutt Cushing's bio information December 31, 1823 - October 19, 1902 Born: December 31, 1823, Hingham Center, Massachusetts. Died: October 19, 1902, Lisbon Center, New York. Buried: Jones Cemetery (near Searsburg), New York. Cushing’s parents were Unitarians, and his early training was along these lines. After entering the ministry, his first pastorate was at Searsburg, New York. He married in 1854, and went on to serve in Auburn, Brooklyn, Buffalo, and Sparta, New York. After his wife died in 1870 and his health declined, he retired from the ministry and began writing hymns. He completed over 300 in his lifetime. Cushing was an exemplary Christian, ever mindful of the suffering of others. Once he gave $1,000—all he had, an enormous sum in those days—to a blind girl so she could get an education.

Composer Ira David Sankey Ira David Sankey's bio information August 28, 1840 - August 13, 1908 Born: August 28, 1840, Edinburg, Pennsylvania. Died: August 13, 1908, Brooklyn, New York. Buried: GreenWood Cemetery, Brooklyn, New York. Pseudonym: Rian A. Dykes (an anagram of “Ira D. Sankey”) As a young man, Sankey served in the American Civil War. He often helped the unit chaplain and led his fellow soldiers in hymn singing. After the war, he joined the Internal Revenue Service, and also worked with the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA). He became well known as a Gospel singer, and eventually came to the attention of evangelist Dwight Lyman Moody. The two men met at a YMCA convention in Indianapolis, Indiana, in June, 1870. Some months later, Sankey attended his first evangelistic meeting with Moody, and resigned from government service shortly thereafter. In October 1871, Sankey and Moody were in the middle of a revival meeting when the Great Chicago Fire began. The two men barely escaped the conflagration with their lives. Sankey ended up watching the city burn from a rowboat far out on Lake Michigan. Sankey composed about 1,200 songs in his lifetime. He was blind from glaucoma the last five years of his life, and no doubt found a kindred spirit in his friend and music making partner, blind hymnist Fanny Crosby. His works include: Welcome Tidings: A New Collection of Sacred Songs for the Sunday School (with Robert Lowry & Howard Doane) (New York: Biglow & Main, 1877) Gems of Song for the Sunday School (with Hubert Main) (Chicago, Illinois: The Biglow & Main Co., 1901) Music Able to Deliver Army of Endeavor Behold the Wondrous Love Believe and Obey Blessed Redeemer Bring in the Children Christian’s “Good Night”, The Cleansing Fountain, The Clephane Come, Oh Come, with Thy Broken Heart Crewdson Descend, O Flame Faith Is the Victory Glory Ever Be to Jesus Great Jehovah, Mighty Lord Handwriting on the Wall, The Harbor Bell, The Hear Us, O Savior!

Lyrics O safe to the Rock that is higher than I, My soul in its conflicts and sorrows would fly; So sinful, so weary, Thine, Thine would I be; Thou blest Rock of Ages I'm hiding in Thee. In the calm of the noontide, in sorrow's lone hour, In times when temptations cast o'er me its pow'r; In the tempests of life, on its wide, heaving sea, Thou blest Rock of Ages I'm hiding in Thee. How oft in the conflict, when pressed by the foe, I have fled to my Refuge and breathed out my woe; How often, when trials like sea billows roll, Have I hidden in Thee, O Thou Rock of my soul. Chorus: Hiding in Thee, Hiding in Thee, Thou blest Rock of Ages I'm hiding in Thee.
