Author: T. O. Chisholm Hymnal: Jubilate #5 (1917) First Line: When the clouds are hanging o'er thee Refrain First Line: Think of him, thy Friend and Saviour Lyrics: 1 When the clouds are hanging o’er thee, When thy path is dark before thee, Think of Jesus, have no fear! Though His form thou cans’t not trace, Nor thine eyes behold His face, All the time, in ev’ry place, Think of Jesus, He is near. Refrain: Think of Jesus, thy Friend and Saviour, One whose love will never cease; He whose mind is stayed on Jesus Shall be kept in perfect peace. 2 When malicious foes assail thee, When thy strength and courage fail thee, Think of Jesus, to Him call; When there is no other friend Who thy need can comprehend, And none other help can lend, Think of Jesus, tell Him all. 3 When thy burdens sorely press thee, Wrong and pain and grief distress thee, Think of Jesus, what He bore; Ah! That crushing weight of woe, Thou cans’t never, never know, ‘Twas for thee He suffered so, Think of Jesus, what He bore! [Refrain] 4 When for rest thy heart is yearning, And thy thoughts t’ward heav’n are turning, Think of Jesus, waiting there; He that bore thy sins alone, Seated there beside the throne, Waiting to receive His own, Think of Jesus, waiting there! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [When the clouds are hanging o'er thee]

Thomas O. Chisholm

1866 - 1960 Person Name: T. O. Chisholm Author of "Think of Jesus" in Jubilate 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.

Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years.

He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912).
