HALDOR LILLENAS (1885-1959) was born in Stord, near Bergen, Norway. As an infant his family brought him first to South Dakota and eventually they settled in Astoria, OR. Converted and called to preach, he attended Deets Pacific Bible College in Los Angeles (later known as Pasadena College). He married Bertha Mae Wilson, a song writer in her own right, and they were both elders in the Church of the Nazarene. Haldor supplied music for a number of evangelists including Charles M. Alexander who purchased "Wonderful Grace of Jesus" for the palty sum of $10.00. In 1924 when this and several of Haldor's other songs started gaining popularity, he founded the Lillenas Music Company of Indianapolis, IN. In 1930 the Nazarene Publishing Company of Kansas City, MO, purchased this enterprise bringing him to the denominational headquarters to continue to run it. Hope had acquired the copyright to "Wonderful Grace" in their 1926 acquisition of the Tabernacle Publishing Company and represented it for a number of years. This hymn is in the public domain today.
