Author: Claire Sumner Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3402 First Line: Easter day has come once more Refrain First Line: Ring, ring, ring, merry joy-bells, ring! Lyrics: 1. Easter day has come once more, Ring, ye joy-bells, ring! Peal the tidings o’er and o’er, Ring, ye joy-bells, ring! Night and gloom have passed away, Death is ended, and decay; Jesus Christ is ris’n today; Ring, ye joy-bells, ring! Refrain Ring, ring, ring, merry joy-bells, ring! Sing, sing, sing, happy voices, sweetly sing! Christ arose o’er the last of foes; Glad bells, ring; happy voices, sweetly sing. 2. Spring comes smiling to the land, Ring, ye joy-bells, ring! Fair and pure the lilies stand, Ring, ye joy-bells, ring! Birds are singing clear and sweet, Blossoms spring up ’neath our feet, Heav’n bends low the earth to greet; Ring, ye joy-bells, ring! [Refrain] 3. Spread the seeds of hope abroad, Ring, ye joy-bells, ring! Peal the triumph of the Lord, Ring, ye joy-bells, ring! Comfort every aching heart, Dry the tears of pain that start, Bid despair and grief depart; Ring, ye joy-bells, ring! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Easter day has come once more]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel Composer of "[Easter day has come once more]" in The Cyber Hymnal 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
