Chorus: Servant of God, arouse ye, awake! Jesus is calling! Go, labor for His sake! Jesus is calling! Go, labor for His sake! 2 Wide are the plains that glimm'ring lie before thee Ripe unto harvest' thrust the sickle in! High in the heav'ns the sun is burning o'er thee, - Still thou art idle! Now the work begin. [Chorus] 3 Up! in the name of Him who died to save you; Seek for the erring as He sought for you! Always remember what in love He gave you, And be a servant, loyal, brave, and true.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Servant of God, awake unto thy duty]" 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. Bert Polman
