Sometimes our hearts are burdened with care;

Never a sorrow that He doth not share;
Whether the days may be sunny or dreary,

Bent with our toil and burdens we bear;

Precious the thought and sweet the assurance,
Jesus is always there. [Chorus]

Ron Hamilton
1950 - 2023 Person Name: Ron Hamilton, 1950- Meter: 10.9.10.6 with refrain Author of "How Can I Fear?" in Rejoice Hymns In honor and memory of Ron ("Patch the Pirate") Hamilton (1950-2023), the American Christian musician, lyricist, composer, and president and owner of Majesty Music, who passed away last week on April 19, the posts this week will be about him.
After finishing high school, in 1969 Ron went on to Bob Jones University (BJU) in Greenville, SC, where he received a BA in Church Music in 1973, followed by an MA in Church Music Composition. While at BJU Ron met Shelly Garlock at vesper choir, directed by her father, Dr. Frank Garlock; it was "love at first sight" and six years later, on May 31, 1975, they were married. They have five children: Jonathan, Tara, Alyssa, Megan, and Jason. Immediately, they began working at Majesty Music, a Christian music publishing house founded by Dr. Garlock. (Sources: Patch the Pirate Facebook page, Wikipedia)
One of Ron Hamilton's songs that depicts well his life is "Faithful Men":
I am looking to Jesus, giving all in the race,
Pressing upward to gain the heavenly prize.
Faithful men are my witness, who have struggled and died;
And they watch from the grandstand in the skies.
(Refrain)
Faithful men have gone before us,
Faithful men who fight and stand;
I want to follow in their footsteps,
Guided by those faithful men.
Jacob joined with the faithful;
Joseph followed behind;
Moses ran with the mighty men of old.
There were David and Daniel; then came Peter and Paul.
Now they chant as they run on streets of gold.
Refrain
(Majesty Hymns, p. 380)

Bertha Mae Lillenas
1889 - 1945 Person Name: B M L Meter: 10.9.10.6 with refrain Author of "Jesus Is Always There" in The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal Lillenas, Bertha Mae (nee Wilson). (?--1945). First wife of Haldor Lillenas, mother of their two children. Ordained elder in the Church of the Nazarene. Evangelist, singer, and composer, as well as artist at the piano. Deets Pacific Bible College, Los Angeles (later Pasadena College). With her husband, pastored churches at Lompoc and Pomona, California; Auburn, Illinois; Peniel, Texas; Redlands, Calif.; and Indianapolis, Indiana. She often preached.
She had a gift for writing songs easy to sing on powerful gospel themes. Since she was a contralto, she wrote most numbers in a low key. The text of "Jesus Took My Burden" (Johnson Oatman) was sent to Haldor Lillenas to be set to music, but the musical setting he wrote visited virtually all publishers of the day without success. After it lay in his file of unpublished music for 13 years, he took it to Bertha Mae, whose melody was immediately accepted and sung widely by Homer Rodeheaver.
