Ron Hamilton
1950 - 2023 Hymnal Number: 15 Author of "I thank You, Lord, for all You've done" in Bible Truth 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)

Pauline Michael Mills
1898 - 1991 Person Name: Pauline M. Mills Hymnal Number: 17 Author of "Thou art worthy, Thou art worthy" in Bible Truth Hymns In her teens, Pauline was a pianist for Stockton, California, area churches. In 1975, she was ordained by L.I.F.E. Bible College in Los Angeles.
On an evangelism tour, her son told a congregation to offer their favorite scripture and--without telling her in advance--said his mother would write music for it before the service was over. "Thou Art Worthy" was the result.

Robert Harkness
1880 - 1961 Hymnal Number: 16 Author of "Love sent my Savior to die in my stead" in Bible Truth Hymns After attending a revival meeting by Reuben Torrey and Charles M. Alexander, Harkness became Alexander’s pianist. He came to Christ shortly thereafter (on a bicycle, he said), and made several round the world tours with Torrey and Alexander.
Harkness was especially well known for his program The Music of the Cross, and as the author of correspondence courses in hymn playing. He wrote over 2,000 hymns and Gospel songs in his lifetime.
