Servoss Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: 'Tis Jesus when the burden'd heart Refrain First Line: 'Tis Jesus in the morning hours Lyrics: 1 'Tis Jesus when the burden'd heart Is sinking 'neath its load; And Jesus when the trembling steps Can hardly keep the road; And Jesus when the sun of joy Has set in sorrow's night, For he alone can soothe the pain, Or guide the steps aright. Chorus: 'Tis Jesus in the morning hours, And Jesus thro' the day, And Jesus in life's eventime, And Jesus all the way. 2 'Tis Jesus when the infant tongue Can hardly lisp the name, And when the form is bent with age, 'Tis Jesus just the same; For on our way to pastures green, Lest we from him should stray, Our Shepherd walks before his sheep, And leads them all the way. [Chorus] 3 'Tis Jesus for the friendless one, The weary, sad and lone; And Jesus for the sinner's hope To change the heart of stone; And Jesus when the hour has come To cross the silent stream; Then Jesus, Jesus evermore, Shall be our new song's theme. [Chorus] Scripture: Matthew 28:20 Used With Tune: ['Tis Jesus when the burden'd heart]

C. C. Case

1843 - 1918 Composer of "['Tis Jesus when the burdened heart]" in Harvest Bells Nos. 1, 2 and 3 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.
