Building for Eternity
Author: Emma Pitt Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Faithful builders all are we Refrain First Line: One bright day our eyes shall see Lyrics: 1 Faithful builders all are we,
Building for eternity,
Children of the mission bands,
Working with our hearts and hands.
Chorus:
One bright day our eyes shall see
Where the many mansions be,
Living stones we helped to bring
For the palace of our King.
2 One by one the stones we lay,
Building slowly day by day;
Building by our love are we,
In the lands beyond the sea. [Chorus]
3 Building in the Hindoo land,
Where the idols are as sand;
Living temples rise to view
As we work for China, too. [Chorus]
4 Building temples for our King,
By the off-rings we can bring;
Living temples He will raise
Fill'd with life, and light, and praise. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Faithful builders all are we]

Chas. H. Gabriel
1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Faithful builders all are we]" 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.
