Now the story. Behind the tibunos. Oh, oh, oh, sing
them to me again, beautiful words of life. There is in them my
joy and light, beautiful words of life. Yes, of light and life
they are support and lily. The author of this famous hymn has a short
but condensed story. The author' s name is Philip Pliz, born in
one thousand eight hundred thirty- eight in Rome, Pensylvania. Even as a
child, he showed a lot of interest in anything that could get any sound
out of. He even made his own rudimentary instruments with which to make sounds.
It belonged to a very poor family. When he was about ten years
old, he heard the sound of a piano for the first time. As
he walked down a street, he heard the notes of a piano coming out
of a house so much, he was attracted to the music that, without
thinking about it, entered the house and immediately found himself next to the lady
who was playing it. The lady, after getting scared and seeing him so
dirty and barefoot, fired him urgently. But that sound would remain in the
mind of little Philip, when he was already a young man, he wrote
a hymn and took him to George root At that time, one of the
most famous composers in America. When he sent it to him, he wrote
him a note asking for a flute, if he did not find him good
enough. With all kindness, Mr Ruth sent him a flute. This contact
later resulted in the formation of an evangelistic team cos s u nto by him
as an Evangelist musician and Lord Ruth and the famous wrath of Sankill Phillip Plez
is possibly the best known of all the authors of Christian hymns, after only
Fanny Crosby, among many other hymns. He made the music for the lyrics
that Spathford wrote in such tragic experience. I' m fine with my God.
His short life ended in one thousand eight hundred and seventy- six,
when he was barely thirty- eight years old. The train he was traveling
with his wife derailed near Ashta bull Ohio. As a result, his wife
died and he, having left unharmed, died moments later after attempting to rescue
his wife’ s body by then. His popularity had become so notorious that
in the city where he grew up, Rome, Pennsylvania, a monument was
erected in his honor. In the words of this precious hymn can be seen
the great love that Blis had for the word of God
