Be a hero!
In its turmoil and its strife
Be a hero!
Show your colors in the fight,
And, with sword and armor bright,
Strike out bravely for the right;
Be a hero!
Chorus:
Be a hero! (Be a hero!)
Trust in God and never hear!

On, ye soldiers, to the fray,
Hear the great commander say,
"We shall surely gain the day!"
Be a hero!
2 There are giants in the land,
Be a hero!
In the strength of Jesus stand,
Be a hero!
In the name of Christ draw near,
Speak a word of hope and cheer,
Stay the tempter in his might;
Be a hero! [Chorus]
3 When you see a brother fall,
Be a hero!
Lend a helping hand to all,

Chas. H. Gabriel
1856 - 1932 Composer of "[On the battlefield of life] " in The New Praiseworthy 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.
