Welcome!

The Philip P. Bliss Gospel Songwriters Museum is located in Rome, Pennsylvania, in the house where Bliss lived. Bliss is the writer of many favorite gospel hymns such as "Hallelujah, What A Savior," "Let the Lower Lights Be Burning," "Almost Persuaded" and many others. He wrote the music to Horatio Spafford's lyric "It Is Well With My Soul."

If you appreciate the old gospel hymns of the 1870s, or if you are visiting beautiful northeastern Pennsylvania for other reasons, please come by the Gospel Songwriters Museum in Rome. The Museum is open on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons from May to September, and other times by appointment.
