Charles Albert Tindley (1851-1933)

Tindley is known as one of the “founding fathers of American Gospel music.” The son of slaves, he taught himself to read and write at age 17. He was a driven young man, working as a janitor while attending night school, and earning his divinity degree through a correspondence course. In 1902, he became pastor of the Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the church where he had earlier been the janitor. At the time of Tindley’s death, his church had 12,500 members. The Tindley Temple United Methodist Church in Philadelphia was named after him.

Tindley wrote over 40 hymns in his lifetime. His “I’ll Overcome Some Day” was the basis for the American civil rights anthem “We Shall Overcome,” popularized in the 1960’s.

Hymns:

  1. I Know the Lord Will Make a Way
  2. I’ll Overcome Some Day
  3. I’m Going to Die with My Staff in My Hand
  4. Leave It There
  5. Let Jesus Fix It for You
  6. Lord, I’ve Tried
  7. Nothing Between
  8. Some Day
  9. Stand by Me
  10. Storm Is Passing Over, The
  11. We’ll Understand It Better By and By
  12. What Are They Doing in Heaven?
