O. S. Grinnell

1826 - 1926 Hymnal Number: 117 Composer of "[Precious Jesus, O to love Thee!]" in Fair as the Morning. Hymns and Tunes for Praise in the Sunday-School Orlando S. Grinnell was better known as a preacher than a songwriter. Still, the Wayne pastor's single hymn was a hit, not for its timeless melody but for its title. In 1921, the minister wrote a hymn for his flock to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Wayne Congregational Church. Grinnell titled it "The Little Home Church by the Wayside." http://articles.chicagotribune.com/199

Army chaplain with First Rhode Island Cavalry (1861-1863), and Third Rhode Island Heavy Artillery, 1863-1864. Author of several religious and historical works, as well as a number of poems and hymns. Two collections of his hymns are Army Hymns; written for the First Regiment New England Cavalry, Providence, 1861, and Army Hymns; written for the Third Regiment, R. I. Heavy Artillery, Providence, 1861. These two little hymnals, containing eighteen and sixteen hymns respectively, have only the texts, though the tunes are suggested. While some of the hymns are well written, none could be considered great, and most have military themes or references that make them unsuitable for general usage. Other hymns by Denison are "The cross of my Lord," "Battle song," "Bethesda is open," and two hymns for young people, "Young people's rally" and "Christian endeavor." --Phillip W.
