Salvation Is Free

Author: Harriet E. Jones Hymnal: Gems and Jewels #114 (1890) Hymnal Title: Gems and Jewels First Line: Oh! I am so glad that salvation is free Refrain First Line: Salvation is free, for you and for me Lyrics: 1 Oh! I am so glad that salvation is free, And Jesus will pardon a sinner like me; He asks not for silver, He asks not for gold, The poorest may enter the good Shepherd’s fold. Chorus: Salvation is free, for you and for me, The Master has riches untold; Salvation is free, for you and for me: The poorest may enter His fold. 2 Oh! I am so glad that our Saviour is King And needs not the riches the wealthy would bring; His treasures are endless—His riches untold— The poorest may share in the wealth of His fold. [Chorus] 3 Oh! I am so glad that a sinner may live, And share in the riches this Monarch can give; And thro’ years eternal His beauty behold; Just over beyond in the city of gold. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh! I am so glad that salvation is free]

1823 - 1915 Hymnal Title: Gems and Jewels Author of "Salvation Is Free" in Gems and Jewels Harriet E. Rice Jones, 1823-1915 Born: April 18, 1823, Pompey Hollow, Onondaga County, New York. Died: 1915, Binghamton, New York. Buried: Oran Community Church Cemetery, Pompey, Onondaga County, New York. Daughter of Eleazer Rice, Jones lived in Onondaga County, New York. Her girlhood was spent on a farm, receiving what education the country schools and one term at high school could provide. She was always fond of reading, and was a great singer, with a clear ringing voice. On July 7, 1844, she married a son of Rev. Zenas Jones; her husband died in 1879. Her song writing career began when her poetry came to the attention of Dr. M. J. Munger, who asked if she could write some Sunday school hymns for him. She went on to write for Daniel Towner, J. C. Ewing, the Fillmore brothers, and others. --hymntime.com/tch

Fred A. Fillmore

1856 - 1925 Hymnal Title: Gems and Jewels Composer of "[Oh! I am so glad that salvation is free]" in Gems and Jewels Born: May 15, 1856, Paris, Illinois. Died: November 15, 1925, Terrace Park, Ohio. Buried: Milford, Ohio. Frederick Augustus Fillmore, who was born on May 15, 1856, in Paris, IL, one of seven children, five sons and two daughters, born to Augustus Damon and Hannah Lockwood Fillmore. His father was a preacher in the Christian Church, as well as a composer, songbook compiler, and hymn publisher who developed his own system of musical notation using numbers on the staff in place of note heads. Augustus eventually settled in Cincinnati, OH, and established a music publishing business there. Until 1906, there was no official distinction between "Christian Churches" and "Churches of Christ." The names were used pretty much interchangeably, and many older churches of Christ which are faithful today were once known as "Christian Churches." Fred and his older brother James took over their father's publishing business following the death of Augustus in 1870 and established the Fillmore Brothers Music House. This became a successful Cincinnati music form, publishing church hymnals and later band and orchestral music. For many years the firm issued a monthly periodical, The Music Messenger. The brothers edited many hymnbooks and produced many songs which became popular. Beginning with the songbook Songs of Glory in 1874, there appeared many Fillmore publications which became widely used through churches, especially in the midwest. For these collections, Fred provided a great deal of hymn tunes. --launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/hymnoftheday
