A wondrous change has wrought,

Has richest blessing brought.

Only a touch! Only a touch!
It brought me life and healing;

His loving heart, revealing.

Beheld His smiling face;
Only a touch! My deafened ears
Could hear His words of grace. [Refrain]

When I was sore afraid,
Even on me His own right hand,
Most tenderly was laid. [Refrain]

Nor will it pass away;
The pierced hand which once I felt,
Is on me still today. [Refrain]
5 Only a touch! It is for you,
That touch of living pow’r,
The outstretch’d hand of Christ the Lord,
Is her this very hour. [Refrain] Topics: Christ Savior Used With Tune: [Only a touch! My Savior’s hand]

Chas. H. Gabriel
1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Only a touch! My Savior’s hand]" in Alexander's Hymns No. 4 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.
