James McGranahan

James McGranahan was a nineteenth-century American musician and composer, known mostly for his hymns and gospel songs. A good friend of Philip P. Bliss, he was also associated with other well-known gospel songwriters such as William B. Bradbury, George F. Root, and Daniel W. Whittle; he eventually replaced Bliss as Whittle's song leader in full-time evangelistic ministry after Bliss' tragic death in the Ashtabula River Railroad Disaster.
