1 Tho' other themes some hearts rejoice,
Christ fills mine to the brim;
And while my Saviour tunes my voice,
My song shall be of him.
Chorus:
My song, my song shall be of him,
My song, my song shall be of him;
Let others sing some other theme,
My song, my song shall be of him.
2 While sailing o'er the sea of life,
He e'er my sail doth trim;
In calm or storm, in peace or strife,
My song shall be of him. [Chorus]
3 I'll praise him in the sunshine bright
Or in the shadows dim;
In morning fair, or darkest night,
My song shall be of him. [Chorus]
4 And when at last there comes for me
The boatman pale and grim;
Throughout a blest eternity,
My song shall be of him. [Chorus]

Johnson Oatman, Jr., son of Johnson and Rachel Ann Oatman, was born near Medford, N. J., April 21, 1856. His father was an excellent singer, and it always delighted the son to sit by his side and hear him sing the songs of the church.
Outside of the usual time spent in the public schools, Mr. Oatman received his education at Herbert's Academy, Princetown, N. J., and the New Jersey Collegiate Institute, Bordentown, N. J. At the age of nineteen he joined the M.E. Church, and a few years later he was granted a license to preach the Gospel, and still later he was regularly ordained by Bishop Merrill. However, Mr. Oatman only serves as a local preacher.
For many years he was engaged with his father in the mercantile business at Lumberton… Go to person page >
