Thomas Fenton

James A. Collignon was born in St. Cloud, Minn., in 1926 and it wasn't until 1976 that he wrote his first pop song. Only recently has he stopped writing pop music (no inspiration), but he is still turning old material into new hymns. Some of the hymns are very fine poetry, and it is his hope that the tunes will linger and the fragrance of the verse will too. Help yourself to these. Jesus said: "Having freely received, freely give."

A complete collection of secular and sacred compositions by James A. Collignon are available (in handwritten form) at www.metresmeetmusic.net.

All compositions are in the public domain.
