was a hymn writer that worked along side of a man named D L Moody. He married Lucy Young Bliss on June 1, 1859. They had 2 children.
Traveling together, after seeing their children off at an earlier stop, they took the train. It was a blizzard, but the engine slowly plowed through, until they reached a bridge near Ashtabula, Ohio. For some reason, while the train was crossing the bridge, it gave way, sending the passenger cars into the deep ravine below. Phillip survived, and went back into the wreckage to save his wife, thereby losing his own life.
Later on, inside Phillip Bliss' briefcase, they found a song, a hymn that he had written but as of yet never heard performed, and it says "I will sing of my Redeemer And His wondrous love to me, On the Cruel Cross He suffered, From the curse to set me free."
"I will tell the wondrous story, How, my lost estate to save. In His boundless love and mercy, He the ransom freely gave."
Although he passed away tragically, he still lives on today, and each time you sing this hymn, you will remember how his song has blessed so many!
