Author: Maggie E. Gregory Hymnal: Little Branches No. 2 #27 (1896) First Line: We are little workers Refrain First Line: We will work, work, work Lyrics: 1 We are little workers, Working for the Lord; By His help we're striving For the blest reward: We have heard the Master's call, He has need of one and all, So we'll gladly work for the Lord. Chorus: We will work, work, work, We will sing, sing sing, And to Him our off'rings bring; Sweetest songs of praise, We will gladly raise To our Savior, Shepherd, King. 2 We are little singers, Singing for our King. Loud our infant voices, In His praise shall ring; Jesus loves our happy songs, For to Him our praise belongs, So we sweetly sing for our King. [Chorus] 3 Little lambs are we, and Christ our Shepherd bold, He has sweetly called us To His blessed fold, Naught of evil can befall, While we heed our Shepherd's call, We're the little lambs of His fold. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [We are little workers]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[We are little workers]" in Jewels for Juniors 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
