HYMN HISTORY:
Rarely has a hymn-writer been led to Christ by his own song, but such was the case with Ray Overholt. God literally picked him up out of the darkness and confusion of the nightclubs and brought him into His loving care, using Ray’s own song in an unusual manner.
Ray Overholt was born in Middlevale, Ohio, in 1924. He seemed destined to a career in music from age eleven when his dad gave him his first guitar. He rose to a measure of success, hosting his own television show.
In 1958, at the height of his show-business career, Ray Overholt wrote his now-famous song, Ten Thousand Angels. www.hymnalaccompanist.com/Stor...
