Author: Charlotte G. Homer Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: There's a work to be done Refrain First Line: Will you do your part Lyrics: 1 There’s a work to be done, And we must help bear the burden, Will you do your part? Will you do your part? It is only begun, And if we share in the guerdon It is time to make the start. We must work, work, work, We must give, give, give, For the need is surely great; This our prayer should be “Here am I, send me!” Why, then, longer idly wait? Chorus: Will you do your part? Will you do your part? Lo, the Master now is calling; Will you do your part? Will you do your part? For the night is surely falling. 2 From afar o’er the sea Are many sad voices calling, Will you do your part? Will you do your part? They are pleading with thee, For O, the need is appalling In the world’s great aching heart. We must work, work, work, We must give, give, give, With a heart of love sincere; ‘Tis the Master’s call Unto one and all “Go ye,” for the night is near. [Chorus] 3 There is something for all, No matter what be the station, Will you do your part? Will you do your part? Tho’ the work seemeth small Before the eyes of the nation, God can bless the busy mart! We must work, work, work, We must give, give, give, With a prayer for all we do, Giving thanks and praise To the God of grace, That he keep us ever true. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [There's a work to be done]

Charlotte G. Homer

1856 - 1932 Author of "Will You Do Your Part?" in Sunday School Voices, No.2 Pseudonym. See also Gabriel, Chas. Hutchinson, 1856-1932

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Author of "Who Will Stand for the Right?" in Salvation Songs 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
