O. S. Grinnell
1826 - 1926 Composer of "[O Father, let me bear the cross]" in Celestial Showers No. 1, a collection of gospel songs used in Rev. I. Toliver's Meetings Orlando S. Grinnell was better known as a preacher than a songwriter. Still, the Wayne pastor's single hymn was a hit, not for its timeless melody but for its title. In 1921, the minister wrote a hymn for his flock to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Wayne Congregational Church. Grinnell titled it "The Little Home Church by the Wayside."

1. Fear not, poor weary one. Help in Sorrow (1872).

(2) "I would love Thee, God and Father";
