O Bells in the Steeple
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Hymnal for Boys and Girls #176 (1936) Meter: 6.6.6.5 D Lyrics: 1 O bells in the steeple,
Ring out to all people
That Christ has arisen,
that Jesus is here!
Touch heaven's blue ceiling
With your happy pealing;
O bells in the steeple,
Ring out full and clear.
2 O soft April showers,
Call out the young flowers,
Touch each little sleeper
And bid her obey;
Set daffodils blowing,
And fresh grasses growing,
To thrill the old world on
This glad Easter Day.
3 O violets tender,
Your shy tributes render;
Tie round your wet faces
your soft hoods of blue;
And carry your sweetness,
Your dainty completeness,
To some tired hand
That is longing for you.
4 O world bowed and broken
With anguish unspoken,
Take heart and be glad,
For the Lord is not dead!
On some bright tomorrow
Your black cloud of sorrow
Will break in a sweet rain of
Joy on your head. Tune Title: PRINCETON
O Bells in the Steeple
Johnson Oatman, Jr.
1856 - 1922 Person Name: Johnson Oatman Meter: 6.6.6.5 D Author of "O Don't Stay Away!" in Redemption Songs Johnson Oatman, Jr., son of Johnson and Rachel Ann Oatman, was born near Medford, N. J., April 21, 1856. His father was an excellent singer, and it always delighted the son to sit by his side and hear him sing the songs of the church.
Outside of the usual time spent in the public schools, Mr. Oatman received his education at Herbert's Academy, Princetown, N. J., and the New Jersey Collegiate Institute, Bordentown, N. J. At the age of nineteen he joined the M.E. Church, and a few years later he was granted a license to preach the Gospel, and still later he was regularly ordained by Bishop Merrill. However, Mr. Oatman only serves as a local preacher.
For many years he was engaged with his father in the mercantile business at Lumberton, N. J., under the firm name of Johnson Oatman & Son. Since the death of his father, he has for the past fifteen years been in the life insurance business, having charge of the business of one of the great companies in Mt. Holly, N. J., where he resides.
He has written over three thousand hymns, and no gospel song book is considered as being complete unless it contains some of his hymns.
In 1878 he married Wilhelmina Reid, of Lumberton, N.J. and had three children, Rachel, Miriam, and Percy.

Norman J. Clayton
1903 - 1992 Meter: 6.6.6.5 D Author of "We Shall See His Lovely Face" in The Hymnal for Worship and Celebration Norman John Clayton Born at Brooklyn, NY, the 9th of 10 children, he gave his heart to Jesus at age six at South Brooklyn Gospel Church, his mother being a founding member of the Baptist group. He was musically inclined, and became church organist at age 12, and also played trumpet. He remained an organist for the rest of his life. A songwriter, he usually began writing the music before the words. He would memorize scripture to assure his music was biblically-based. Much of what he wrote was for special occasions. When young he first worked on a dairy farm, then held an office job in NYC. Clayton entered the building trades industry, working for his father’s construction business, and during the depression, with a commercial bakery. He married Martha Adaline Wistendahl, and they had two children: Muriel and one other (no name found). In the early 1940s, Jack Wyrtzen invited him to be an organist with NYC ‘Word of Life’ rallies. For 15 years he provided music, was organist, vibraphonist, director of the inquiry room, and radio evangelist. He created his own publishing house, and from 1945-1959 he published 30 of his own songbooks. His company was eventually purchased by the Rodeheaver Company, and he joined them as a writer/editor, providing other songs during that period. He died at Carmel, NY.
