RE: Entry "Great is Thy Faithfulness":  The lyricist name is misspelled. A number of web pages give the composer of "Great is Thy Faithfulness" as Thomas Obediah Chisholm (1866-1960).

One, for example, (cyberhymnal.org) reads:

"Chisholm was ed­u­cat­ed in a small count­ry school, and be­came its teach­er at age 16. At age 21, he be­came as­so­ci­ate ed­it­or of the week­ly news­pa­per, The Frank­lin Fav­or­ite. In 1893, he be­came a Christ­ian un­der the min­is­try of Dr. Hen­ry Clay Mor­rison (fu­ture pres­i­dent of Asbury Coll­ege, Wil­more, Ken­tucky). Chis­holm moved to Lou­is­ville at the per­sua­sion of Mor­ris­on and be­came ed­it­or of the Pen­te­cos­tal Her­ald. He was or­dained a Meth­od­ist min­is­ter in 1903 and served a brief pas­tor­ate at Scotts­ville, Ken­tucky. In poor health, he moved his fam­i­ly to a farm near Wi­nona Lake, In­di­a­na. He be­came an in­sur­ance sales­man, moving to Vine­land, New Jer­sey, in 1916. He re­tired in 1953 to the Meth­od­ist Home for the Aged in Ocean Grove, New Jer­sey. Chis­holm wrote over 1200 po­ems, of which 800 were pub­lished, and ma­ny set to mu­sic." See url: http://www.cyberhymnal.org/bio/c/h/i/chisholm_to.htm
