Schriftstellen:

Diese alle sind gestorben im Glauben und haben die Verheißung nicht empfangen, sondern sie von ferne gesehen und sich ihrer getröstet und wohl genügen lassen und bekannt, daß sie Gäste und Fremdlinge auf Erden wären. (Hebräer 11, 13)

Es sei aber ferne von mir, mich zu rühmen, denn allein von dem Kreuz unsers HERRN Jesu Christi, durch welchen mir die Welt gekreuzigt ist und ich der Welt. (Galater 6, 14)

So ihr denn nun abgestorben seid mit Christo den Satzungen der Welt, was lasset ihr euch denn fangen mit Satzungen, als lebtet ihr noch in der Welt? (Kolosser 2, 20)

Wäret ihr von der Welt, so hätte die Welt das Ihre lieb; weil ihr aber nicht von der Welt seid, sondern ich habe euch von der Welt erwählt, darum haßt euch die Welt. (Johannes 15, 19)

Albert Edward Brumley (October 29, 1905 – November 15, 1977) was an American shape note music composer and publisher, prolific in the genre of southern gospel.

Biography

Brumley was born near Spiro, Oklahoma on October 29, 1905. Pre-Dustbowl Oklahoma was primarily made up of sparse agricultural communities; Brumley’s family was no different. He spent much of his early life chopping and picking cotton on his family’s farm. In 1926, he enrolled in the Hartford Musical Institute of Hartford, Arkansas, and studied there through 1931. The Institute was led by Eugene Monroe Bartlett (1884–1941), owner of the Hartford Music Company and composer of the well-known gospel song „Victory in Jesus“ [note 1]. Brumley purchased Hartford Music Company in 1948.

Brumley married Goldie Edith Schell in 1931. They lived on the banks of Big Sugar Creek in Powell, Missouri, where they raised six children.

„I’ll Fly Away,“ „Turn Your Radio On,“ „If We Never Meet Again (This Side of Heaven),“ „I’ll Meet You In The Morning,“ „Rank Stranger,“ and „He Set Me Free“ are among a host of favorites written by Albert E. Brumley. He wrote over 800 songs. He established the Albert E. Brumley Sundown to Sunup Gospel Sing (now Albert E. Brumley Gospel Sing) in 1969 in Springdale, Arkansas. Brumley has been inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, Gospel Music Hall of Fame, and Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame.

Albert Brumley was a member of the Church of Christ and is buried at Fox Church of Christ Cemetery near Powell, Missouri. He died November 15, 1977. Brumley’s son Tom, who would die in 2009, later became a respected steel guitarist in country music and songleader in the Church of Christ in Powell [note 2].
