Author: Chas. H. Gabriel Hymnal: Great Revival Hymns No. 2 #79 (1913) First Line: Many a soul in the battle of life Lyrics: 1 Many a soul in the battle of life Trembles with fear at the din and the strife, Bearing alone, amid trial and care, Burdens and sorrows God bids you to share. Refrain: Do something for others, Something for others today! Duty demands it, And Jesus commands it! Do something for others today. 2 Many in doubt or in fear of the way, Mutely appeal for your guidance today; On your demeanor the choice may depend— Are you concerned for the stranger or friend? [Refrain] 3 Many, disheartened by cruel deceit, Broken and worn by the pangs of defeat, Doubting, despairingly, helplessly stand, Waiting, perhaps, for your strengthening hand. [Refrain] 4 Many are turning away from the right Into the maze of the shadows of night; Go to them, speak to them, over them pray, Help them, support them—do something today. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Many a soul in the battle of life]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Author of "Do Something for Others" in Seth Parker's Hymnal 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
