Hymn Born From Showalter Notes in North Alabama Church
In 1887 at a Hartselle boarding house A J Showalter read of two bereaved friends and wrote a comforting hymn chorus. He collaborated with Elisha Hoffman to complete verses, later shaping enduring hymns like Leaning on the Everlasting Arms. Showalter’s life and songs spread across the United States, leaving a rich legacy in southern hymnody.
