Author: Mary E. Servoss Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10165 Lyrics: 1 I am coming, gentle Savior, Take me firmly by the hand; Keep me in the narrow pathway, Leading to the heavenly land; For my feet have oft been straying In forbidden paths of sin, And from Thee my heart has wandered; Make me, keep me pure within. 2 I am coming, gentle Savior, Coming quickly unto Thee; For I hear Thy sweet voice calling, Oh, poor sinner, come to Me! And I know that Thou art mighty, Thou canst wash me free from sin; Take my heart, O Lord, and cleanse it, And forever dwell within. 3 I am coming, gentle Savior, I have naught but love to bring, Save a heart both weak and sinful, But to Thee, my all, I cling; Naught to bring, but Thou hast called me, Thy great love is all my plea, All the world I leave behind me, And to Thy dear arms I flee.

C. C. Case

1843 - 1918 Person Name: Charles Clinton Case Composer of "BURSA" 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.
