Author: Chas. H. Gabriel Hymnal: Fair as the Morning. Hymns and Tunes for Praise in the Sunday-School #86 (1891) First Line: Hear the sweet voice of Jesus say Lyrics: 1 Hear the sweet voice of Jesus say, “Come unto me, I am the way!” Hearken, the loving call obey; Come, for He loves you so. Refrain: Only a step, only a step; Come, for He bled for you and died; He’s the same loving Saviour yet, Jesus the Crucified. 2 Only thy will to say, “I’ll go; Down at His feet my sins I’ll throw; Leaving the world of sin and woe, Jesus, I come to Thee.” [Refrain] 3 Casting your heavy burden down Low at the cross, the world may frown; Yet you shall wear a glorious crown, When He makes up His own. [Refrain] 4 Open for you the pearly gate; Lov’d ones for you now watch and wait. Terrible thought! to cry too late, “Jesus, I come to Thee.” [Refrain] Topics: Coming to Christ Languages: English Tune Title: [Hear the sweet voice of Jesus say]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: Charles H. Gabriel Author of "Hear the Sweet Voice" in Great Songs of the Church Pseudonyms: C. D. Emerson, Charlotte G. Homer, S. B. Jackson, A. W. Lawrence, Jennie Ree ============= For the first seventeen years of his life Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (b. Wilton, IA, 1856; d. Los Angeles, CA, 1932) lived on an Iowa farm, where friends and neighbors often gathered to sing. Gabriel accompanied them on the family reed organ he had taught himself to play. At the age of sixteen he began teaching singing in schools (following in his father's footsteps) and soon was acclaimed as a fine teacher and composer. He moved to California in 1887 and served as Sunday school music director at the Grace Methodist Church in San Francisco. After moving to Chicago in 1892, Gabriel edited numerous collections of anthems, cantatas, and a large number of songbooks for the Homer Rodeheaver, Hope, and E. O. Excell publishing companies. He composed hundreds of tunes and texts, at times using pseudonyms such as Charlotte G. Homer. The total number of his compositions is estimated at about seven thousand. Gabriel's gospel songs became widely circulated through the Billy Sunday-Homer Rodeheaver urban crusades. Bert Polman
