I love to tell the story;
'Twill be my theme in glory;
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and his love.
William Gustavus Fischer was born in Baltimore, Md., Oct. 14, 1835. He was a piano-dealer in the 488 / 430 firm (formerly) of Gould and Fischer. His melody to the above hymn was written in 1869, and was harmonized the next year by Hubert P. Main.
THE PRODIGAL CHILD.
This is not only an impressive hymn as sung in sympathetic music, but a touching poem.
Come home! come home!
You are weary at heart,
For the way has been dark
