Author: Charlotte G. Homer Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Great is Jehovah Lyrics: Great is Jehovah! Let all creation bow before him! Great is Jehovah! Believe him, worship and adore him! Nations rejoice With heart and voice, For he is King alone, And we his scepter own. He holdeth in his hands The moon and stars—the worlds of his creation; Wise are his just commands; The winds are hushed, the waves fulfill his righteous law, And at his will The sea is still; The mountains before him fall, The desert sands become a habitation; Worlds tremble at his call; The sun he guides, The moon he hides, And day from night divines. Great is Jehovah, Sov’reign of the worlds above, The King of kings, the everlasting God of love; Mighty is his hand, His wisdom who can understand? Yet in his mercy is a wideness as the sea, And in his love the measure of eternity. Holy is his name! Let men with angels now proclaim! Hosanna to the King! Let all in nature sing, Hosanna unto the King! Hosanna unto the King! Hosanna to the King! Hail! all hail! Used With Tune: [Great is Jehovah]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Arranger of "[Great is Jehovah]" in Sunday School Voices, 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
