Refrain: Only a word, Only a word, Only a word, yet the Master heard. 2 Only some act of devotion, Willingly, joyfully done; Surely ‘twas naught, so the proud world thought, But yet souls for Christ were won. [Refrain] 3 Only an hour with the children, Pleasantly, cheerfully given, Yet seed was sown in that hour alone, Which would bring forth fruit for heaven.

C. C. Case

1843 - 1918 Composer of "[Only a word for the Master]" in Wondrous Love 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.
