Author: Eva Travers Poole Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13323 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 D First Line: I am coming to Thee, Savior Refrain First Line: I am coming, simply coming Lyrics: 1 I am coming to Thee, Savior, Heavy laden and oppressed, For I need Thy saving mercy, And I want Thy heav’nly rest. Earth’s bright hopes have failed and faded, Earth’s dear love has passed away; I am burdened, weary hearted, As I come to Thee today. Refrain: I am coming, simply coming, In my sinfulness to Thee; I am sure Thou wilt receive me, For Thy promise is my plea. 2 I am coming to Thee, Savior, I have heard Thy loving call, And tho’ untold sins oppress me, Thou canst save me from them all. I am coming, sadly owning That I do not come aright; Yet believing that my darkness Will be changed to perfect light. [Refrain] 3 I am coming! tho’ the tempter Bids my trembling soul despair; If I reach Thy feet, O Jesus, I shall never perish there. If I do but touch Thy garment, Thou wilt surely make me whole; Lord, I come, I touch, I trust Thee Save, oh save my sinful soul. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: CHECOTAH

C. C. Case

1843 - 1918 Person Name: Charles Clinton Case Composer of "CHECOTAH" in The Cyber Hymnal Charles Clinton Case USA 1843-1918. Born in Linesville, PA, his family moved to Gustavus, OH, when he was four. His father was an accomplished violinist, but a neighbor gave him a small violin when he was nine, and he mastered it before he could read music. At age 16 he went to singing school (without parental consent), borrowing the money from a neighbor. C. A. Bentley, a prominent conductor, was his first vocal music instructor, and William Bradbury's “Jubilee” was the school textbook. For three winters in a row, he attended Bentley's singing school, working his father's farm in the summer. He married Annie Williams. In 1866 he studied music in Boston with B. F. Baker. He also studied under George Root, Horatio Palmer, Philip Bliss, George Webb, and others, hymnwriters in their own right. Soon after, Case began teaching music, and when James McGranahan moved two miles from his home, they became friends. Case wrote and edited a number of Gospel song books in his life. 6 works.
