God’s Harvest Field

Author: C. H. G. Hymnal: Rodeheaver's Gospel Songs for church, Sunday Schools and evangelistic services #201 (1922) Hymnal Title: Rodeheaver's Gospel Songs for church, Sunday Schools and evangelistic services First Line: See the fields for harvest ready Refrain First Line: Hasten to the field, no longer sit with idle hand Lyrics: 1 See the fields for harvest ready, Golden, rich and ripe the grain, Proving that in love and mercy God hath sent the sun and rain. Loud and long a call comes ringing, ‘Tis a call for volunteers! Who will go the grain to gather, Gather for th’eternal years? Refrain: Haste away, Go forth and reap today! Go into all the world and preach the gospel, ‘tis the Lord’s command; Bright in the sunlight the waving grain Covers the valley, the hill, and plain, Yet how few the reapers be! Time is passing, Work will soon be done. Would you join the mighty chorus That shall ring from sea to sea— “As the sound of many waters” Ring through eternity? 2 Faintly comes a song of gladness From the reapers, brave, but few, Lab’ring in the heat of noonday, Loyal, valiant, tried and true. Who will volunteer to join them? Lo! the seed grows more and more! Your reward shall be abundant In the bright forevermore. [Refrain] Tune Title: [See the fields for harvest ready]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel Hymnal Title: Calvin Hymnary Project Author of "God's Harvest Field" 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
