Ye Must Be Born Again Words by W. T. Sleeper Music by George C. Stebbins
The composer was assisting Dr. Pentecost (about 1880) in an evange listic campaign in Worcester, Massa chusetts. While the evangelist was preaching one night on the story of Nicodemus, using for a text “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7), Stebbins was inspired with the idea that the text would make the basis of a good song. He asked one of the local pas tors, Rev. Sleeper, to write the poem, and he himself provided the musical setting. This was the beginning of a long friendship between Sleeper and Stebbins. Several years later the same pair produced the hymn beginning “ Out of my bondage, sorrow and night, Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come. Fleming H. Revell (founder of the publishing firm of the same name) was launching a new religious pub lication in Chicago, to be called “Words Of Life.” He asked Bliss to compose an appropriate song for the introductory issue, ,j— “Wonderful Words Of Life” was the result. How ever, the song was soon forgotten, — even the composer thought it of no merit. Many years later, under the impetus of George C. Stebbins’ fre quent use, it began to gain rightful recognition. (Stebbins was also re sponsible for popularizing “ Though Yours Sins Be As Scarlet” after it had become dormant following its orig inal publication many years before.) How Can I Be Lonely Words and music by Haldor Lillenas “The song was written in Pitts burgh,” relates the author. “ I had been away from home for some time, and had come to Pittsburgh to con duct the music in a convention. I found my way into a small basement room and found a little Bilhom organ. I sat down and began to play. From somewhere came the words and music . . . ‘How can I be lonely, When I’ve Jesus only . . . ’ ” EDITOR'S NOTE: Mr. Lillenas passed away in August of this year.
