Onward Christian Workers

Author: Rev. Levi Gilbert, D. D. Hymnal: Sunshine #55 (1895) First Line: Forward, Christian workers Refrain First Line: Onward, Christian workers Lyrics: 1 Forward, Christian workers, Quit yourselves like men, Wielding gospel weapons, Force the fight again; Yours are strength and daring, Confident and free; Rouse to splendid action, Fervid loyalty! Refrain: Onward, Christian workers, Raise your battle cry; Looking up to Jesus, Lift your standard high. 2 Mighty reinforcements Thrill the church with cheer; Freshly press the vet’rans, Not a sign of fear; Thinned by age and death-stroke, Ranks fill up with youth; Sons in fathers’ places, Stand defending truth! [Refrain] 3 Trusting in his prowess, Home and nation rest; Future ages signal Each to do his best; Hasten earth’s redemption, Bring the perfect law; Speed millennial glories, Visions prophets saw. [Refrain] 4 Rout and panic seize them, All the hosts of wrong; Soon for you the conquest, Soon the victor’s song; What are toils or dangers, Marches, wounds or pain? Christ is near his triumph, You with him shall reign. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Forward, Christian workers]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Forward, Christian workers]" in Sunshine 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
