Albert Jackson Sims was a man of great faith. He had a great memory. He once was asked why he had such a great memory to which he replied, “I do not know, but I know it was a gift from God.” But when
he went blind, he said that he knew then why God had given him this great gift of memory.
He taught music in many churches. He wrote the hymn, “Unseen Hand” in the 1930’s before he went blind. This song is sung in many churches today. Always, in times of trouble, he would go to the Bible where he always received comfort. He read the Bible daily before he went blind.
