Coming in Glory

Author: Dr. James M. Gray Hymnal: Awakening Songs for the Church, Sunday School and Evangelistic Services #74 (1917) First Line: He has gone out of sight, our joy and light Refrain First Line: This same Jesus is coming in glory Lyrics: 1 He has gone out of sight, our joy and light, But O hark to the rest of the story! He is coming again! O tell it to men! “This same Jesus” is coming in glory! Refrain: “This same Jesus” is coming in glory, In glory, in glory! The heavens will rend, and He will descend, With the saints and the angels in glory. 2 O the Bride that He sought, the Church that He bought, Tho’ we now see her scorned and derided; Will be crowned with her Head, the living and dead, Crowned with Jesus in whom she confided. [Refrain] 3 And the kingdom to come, will quickly be won, Not by men or thro’ human endeavor, But when Christ shall return, His anger will burn, And destroy Satan’s power forever.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[He has gone out of sight, our joy and light]" in Awakening Songs for the Church, Sunday School and Evangelistic Services 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
