James McGranahan was a nineteenth-century American musician and composer, most known for his various hymns. He was born 4 July 1840, in West Fallowfield or Adamsville, Pennsylvania, and died 9 July 1907 in Kinsman, Ohio.[1]
He composed over 25 hymns. For example, in one work he is listed as the composer of three notable songs: "He Will Hide Me" by Mary Elizabeth Servoss, "Revive Thy Work, O Lord" by Albert Midlane, and "Come" by a "Mrs. James Gibson Johnson".[2]
The music of his hymn "My Redeemer," written for lyrics by P. P. Bliss,[3] is used as the accompaniment for the Latter-day Saints hymn 'O My Father.'[4]
In Hawaii, McGranahan is noted for writing the music to the hymn 'I Left It All With Jesus,' which, when joined to the words 'Hawaii Aloha' by the Rev. Lorenzo Lyons (an early missionary to Hawaii) became one of Hawaii's best known and best loved songs. In Hawaii the tune is called Hawaii Aloha and the words were penned by Lorenzo Lyons, a minister. Lyons was known as 'Makua Laiana' or simply 'Laiana.' The song is often sung at the close of public political, spiritual, educational and sporting events.
