Music Notes on today's anthem:
Haldor Lillenas (1885-1959) was one of the most important 20th century gospel hymn writers and publishers. He was an ordained minister, author, poet, music publisher and prolific hymn writer who is estimated to have composed over 4,000 hymns, the most famous being Wonderful Grace of Jesus, from 1918. This hymn was the theme song of the 50-member Chorus Choir of St. Paul's Evangelical United Bretheren Church in Staunton for their weekly half-hour broadcasts of the St. Paul's Sunday Evening Song Service on the Armed Forces Radio Network during the 1950's. Todaty's version is from the Celebration Hymnal.
