Author: C. H. G. Hymnal: Sunday School Voices #151 (1910) First Line: Unto the King of our salvation Refrain First Line: With song we come before him Lyrics: 1 Unto the King of our salvation Let praise arise with exultation; His name above all other names shall be our joy and song. Unworthy, yet his bounty feeds us; Ungrateful, yet he gently leads us; Rebellious, yet he guides and keep us all the way along. Refrain: With song we come before him, And, grateful, our hearts adore him; His praise, in love ascending, From voices together blending, Thro’out the world shall ring— Hosanna to our King! Rock, hill, and vale and mountain, Sea, river, and brook and fountain, Shall join in the mighty chorus To him whose love supreme is o’er us, Till earth, united, shall extol, And crown him Lord of all. 2 His love and mercy never faileth; His grace for ev’ry need availeth; We in his everlasting arms of love in peace abide. The cloud by day he shows before us, The fire by night he kindles o’er us, While at his word the mountains tremble, and the seas divide. [Refrain] 3 The way to life he hath appointed Is thro’ the Lord, our Great Anointed; Not one shall ever go astray who follows his command. Hosanna to his name forever, He will forsake, or leave us, never! His word for ages hath endured, and shall forever stand. [Refrain] Topics: Kingdom of Christ; Praise; Safety Languages: English Tune Title: [Unto the King of our salvation]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel Author of "The King's Praise" 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
