Author: C. H. G. Hymnal: Little Branches No. 2 #32 (1896) Hymnal Title: Little Branches No. 2 First Line: We're little Christian soldiers, brave and loyal too Lyrics: 1 We're little Christian soldiers, brave and loyal too Steadily marching ever firm and true; Christ is our Captain, and His orders we obey; Where He shall lead us we will march away. 2 We're little sowers, and we scatter far and near, Seeds for the harvest that will soon be here; Kind words and action, little deeds of tender love, Scattered abroad, will bring reward above. 3 We're little reapers, busy, busy all the day, Gleaning among the thistles by the way; O may we faithful be, that when He comes again, Each one may bring a sheaf of golden grain.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Hymnal Title: Little Branches No. 2 Author of "A Loyal Band" in Little Branches No. 2 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
