His name! in my soul how it rings! Redeemed by His blood, He has called me to be A child of the King of king! 2 Guilty was I whom He sought to win; Trembling I heard His voice; Fully persuaded, I entered in, And made Him that day my choice! [Refrain] 3 Sins that were crimson He made as wool, Gave me a glad new song; Now of salvation my cup runs full, I’m happy the whole day long! [Refrain] 4 Of Him to others where e’er I go, Daily my glad heart sings; I am for time and eternity, A child of the King of kings! [Refrain] Tune Title: [Softly and tenderly Jesus spake]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel Hymnal Title: Calvin Hymnary Project Author of "A Child of the King of Kings" 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
