I Would Be Like Thee

Author: Rev. W. A. Schell Hymnal: Great Revival Hymns No. 2 #18 (1913) First Line: I would be like thee, Jesus, my Lord Refrain First Line: I would be like Thee, filled with Thy grace Lyrics: 1 I would be like Thee, Jesus, my Lord, Gentle and loving, trusting Thy word; Lowly in spirit, pure in my heart, Living each day from all evil apart. Refrain: I would be like Thee, filled with Thy grace, Till in Thy beauty I look on Thy face; I would be like Thee, lost in Thy love, I would be like Thee in heaven above. 2 I would be like Thee, humble in mind, Growing more earnest, faithful and kind; Seeking for souls, to save them from sin, And for Thy kingdom their service to win. [Refrain] 3 I would be like Thee, speaking the truth, Giving my life to God in my youth; Listening for Thy message to me, Spending my best days in working for Thee. [Refrain] 4 I would be like Thee when I am tried, Crushing out sin, temptation, and pride; All Thy commandments would I obey, Learning Thy will, Thee to follow alway. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I would be like thee, Jesus, my Lord]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[I would be like Thee, Jesus, my Lord]" in Tabernacle Hymns 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
