Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: Uplifted Voices #56 (1901) First Line: Jesus, my Saviour, O, how dear Thou art to me Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Saviour, O, how dear Thou art to me, When I behold Thee On dark Calvary, But I find Thee dearer When upon life’s dusty road, Thou dost say “Com nearer, Cast on my thy load.” Refrain: Jesus, my Saviour, Wilt Thou tarry by my side, Man of my Counsel, Brother, friend and guide? 2 Jesus, my Saviour, Thou art dear, so dear to me, When Thy grave opens When the shadows flee, But my heart was broken with the love that came to me, When the words were spoken, Words that set me free. [Refrain] 3 Jesus, my Saviour, Thou wilt be the first and best, Till cords are broken And I sink to rest, Then, when I behold Thee, When mine eyes Thy face shall see, With Thy love enfold me, All Eternity. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Jesus, my Saviour, O, how dear Thou art to me]

Johnson Oatman, Jr.

1856 - 1922 Person Name: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Author of "Jesus, My Saviour" in Uplifted Voices 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, N. J., under the firm name of Johnson Oatman & Son. Since the death of his father, he has for the past fifteen years been in the life insurance business, having charge of the business of one of the great companies in Mt. Holly, N. J., where he resides. He has written over three thousand hymns, and no gospel song book is considered as being complete unless it contains some of his hymns. In 1878 he married Wilhelmina Reid, of Lumberton, N.J. and had three children, Rachel, Miriam, and Percy. Excerpted from Biography of Gospel Song and Hymn Writers by Jacob Henry Hall; Fleming H. Revell, Co. 1914
