Over the Stars there is Rest

Hymnal: Jubilate #104 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Over the stars there is rest, Over the stars there is rest, Suffer in patience confiding Life with its trials and chiding, There, peace eternal, abiding Makes the delight of the blest. Dark though today be with sorrow, Hope gilds more brightly the morrow! Over the stars there is rest! Over the stars there is rest! 2 Over the stars there is rest, Over the stars there is rest, Bear up, to life’s ills resigning, There where the sun is still shining, Comes neither grief nor repining, There are relieved the opprest. Onward with courage reviving, Ever still patiently striving. Over the stars there is rest! Over the stars there is rest! Languages: English Tune Title: [Over the stars there is rest]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Arranger of "[Over the stars there is rest]" in Rodeheaver Chorus Collection 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
