Author: W. M. Lighthall Hymnal: Coronation Hymns #63 (1913) First Line: This thought is dearer far to me Refrain First Line: He knows me by name Lyrics: 1 This thought is dearer far to me
Than worldly wealth or fame—
However humble I may be,
He knows me by my name!
Chorus:
He knows me by my name,
He knows me by my name!
That Friend divine is truly mine,—
He knows me by my name!
2 When first I heard His blessed voice,
Sin filled my heart with shame;
But now, forgiven, i rejoice--
He knows me by my name! [Chorus]
3 Tho' trails daily I may meet,
All these my Lord o'ercome;
He leads the way with wounded feet—
He knows me by my name! [Chorus]
4 Tho' I am weak, my Savior knows
The frailty of my frame;
His strength o'ercometh all my foes,—
He knows me by my name! [Chorus]

Chas. H. Gabriel

=============
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.
