O. S. Grinnell

1826 - 1926 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
