O I Want to See Him
Author: Rufus H. Cornelius Hymnal: Zion still Sings #137 (2007) First Line: As I journey through the land singing as I go Lyrics: 1 As I journey through the land singing as I go,
pointing souls to Calvary to the crimson flow,
many arrows pierce my soul from without, within;
but my Lord leads me on, through him I must win.
Refrain:
O I want to see him, look upon his face,
there to sing forever of his saving grace;
on the streets of Glory let me lift my voice;
cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.
2 When in service for my Lord dark may be the night,
but I'll cling more close to him, he will give me light;
Satan's snares may vex my soul, turn my thoughts aside;
but my Lord goes ahead, leads whate'er betide. [Refrain]
3 When in valleys low I look toward the mountain height,
and behold my Saviour there, leading in the fight,
with a tender hand outstretched toward the valley low,
guiding me I can see, as I onward go. [Refrain]
4 When before me billows rise from the mighty deep,
then my Lord directs my bark; he doth safely keep,
and he leads me gently on through this world below;
he's a real friend to me, O I love him so. [Refrain] Topics: Living the Faith Celebrating Life; Advent Second; Eternal Life, Everlasting Life, and Heaven; Jesus Christ Friend Languages: English Tune Title: [As I journey through the land singing as I go]
O I Want to See Him
R. H. Cornelius
1872 - 1933 Person Name: R. H. C. Author of "Oh, I Want to See Him" in Timeless Truths R.H. Cornelius, known as Rufus Cornelius by his friends, was born in Blount Co., AL., January 24, 1872. He was educated in the public schools of Oneonta, the county seat. He began teaching in the public schools at an early age and at one time was associate Principle of the Oneonta High School. It was while teaching in the high school that he became interested in church music and began to study with some of the best teachers of the time. His first major teacher was the late A J showalter in one of his normals at Eden, AL. He continued his study with this wellknown teacher until he had finished the courses a second time. He soon felt that the study of harmony was his first love in his study and soon became one of the best harmon teachers of his time.
Near the close of the century, he moved to Texas and settled in Midlothian, Ellis Co., where he established a publishing house and published many fine gospel song books that sold by the thousands. However, before coming to Texas, he was associated with The Showalter-Patton Co. who published his first compositions. Soon after coming to Texas, he devoted much time to teaching singing schools (Cornelius Normal Musical Institute) and soon became one of the best known teachers of that great state, often having many more calls for schools than he could have time for. In many cases his schools were dated years ahead. he had possessed a beautiful tenor voice and was of a very pleasant personality. This caused his to be loved by all who knew him. About 1914 he was called to Southwestern Baptist Seminary as head of the music department. After several years here in the Baptist School in Ft Worth, Texas, he felt he was more needed back in the field of teaching and songbook publishing. Soon after coming to Texas, he married Maycon Temperance Burleson, who was a fine singer and musician and wrote many songs.During the first 32 years of the 20th Century, this couple of musicians blessed the State of Texas with their singing and teaching. Of all the fine song written by Mr. Cornelius, "Oh, I want to See Him" will carry his memory for years to come. The Cornelius' were members of the Baptist Church and were devoted Christians.
Mr. Cornelius passed away in 1932. Mrs. Cornelius lived only about two years, passing away in 1934. In the passing of these fine gospel singer and teachers, church music suffered a great loss. By C C Stafford
