Representative Text

1 O Jesus, my Saviour, to Thee I submit,
With love and thanksgiving fall down at Thy feet;
In sacrifice offer my soul, flesh and blood;
Thou art my Redeemer that brought me to God.

2 I love Thee, I love Thee, I love Thee, my Lord,
I love Thee my Saviour; I love Thee, my God;
I love Thee, I love Thee, and that Thou dost know,
But how much I love Thee, I never can show.

3 I’m happy, I’m happy, oh, wondrous account!
My joys are immortal, I stand on the mount!
I gaze on my treasure, and long to be there,
With Jesus and angels, my kindred so dear.

4 O Jesus, my Saviour, with Thee I am blest!
My life and salvation, my joy and my rest!
Thy name be my theme, and Thy love be my song,
Thy grace shall inspire both my heart and my tongue.

5 Oh, who’s like my Saviour? He’s Salem’s bright King,
He smiles, and He loves me, and learns me to sing,
I’ll praise Him, I’ll praise Him, with notes loud and shrill,
While rivers of pleasure my spirit do fill.

Born: 1770, New Bern County, North Carolina. Died: December 6, 1807, Sumner County, Tennessee. After a period of desperate depression, Granade came to Christ in 1800 at a Presbyterian camp meeting at Desha’s Creek, Sumner County, Tennessee. Ordained a Methodist circuit riding preacher, Granade was referred to by the Nashville Banner as the "wild man of Goose Creek" (Sumner County, Tennessee) and was also variously known as "the poet of the backwoods" and "the Wild Man of Holston." Granade worked in part in the world of shape-note singing in the Shenandoah Valley, where a variety of musical sources, both sacred and profane, were at play. His works include: Pilgrim’s Songster (Lexington, Kentucky: 1804) --www.hymntime.com/tc… Go to person page >
