homeschoolblogger.com Words and Music: Fred A. Fillmore (1917) INTRO.: A song which expresses faith in our Redeemer who died, is risen again, and makes intercession for us is "I Know That My Redeemer Lives" (#479 in Hymns for Worship Revised, and #248 in Sacred Selections for the Church). The text was written and the tune (Confidence) was composed both by Frederick Augustus Fillmore (1856-1925). The son of Augustus Damon Fillmore, a hymnwriter and hymnbook compiler among Christian Churches and Churches of Christ of the middle 1800s, he and his brother, James Henry Fillmore, carried on their father's work after he died by founding the Fillmore Brothers Music House in Cincinnati, OH. This song was copyrighted in 1917 and first published in Fillmore's book The Wonderful Story in Song. Many older books say, "Arranged by Fred A. Fillmore." The hymn seems to be a free adaptation of Charles Wesley's twenty-three stanza hymn of 1742 "Rejoicing in Hope" which begins, "I know that my Redeemer lives" (the same hymn which was apparently the basis for Jessie H. Brown Pounds's "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth"). Evidently the copyright passed to the Gospel Advocate Co. of Nashville, TN, in 1931 and was renewed by them in 1944. It has been a most popular hymn among churches of Christ. Words and Music: Fred A. Fillmore (1917). + Informações

?1. I am resolved no longer to linger, Charmed by the world's delight; Things that are higher, things that are nobler, These have allured my sight. 2. I am resolved to go to the Saviour, Leaving my sin and strife; He is the true One, He is the just One, He hath the words of life. 3. I am resolved to follow the Saviour, Faithful and true each day; Heed what He sayeth, do what He willeth, He is the living way. 4. I am resolved to enter the Kingdom, Leaving the paths of sin; Friends may oppose me, foes may beset me, Still will I enter in. Chorus: I will hasten to Him, Hasten so glad and free; Jesus, Greatest, Highest, I will come to Thee. Lyrics: Palmer Hartsough Music: James Henry Fillmore, Sr. Tune: RESOLUTION. + Informações
