And our spirits welcome the setting sun,
In the twilight hush, lo!

I am the door, I am the door;
You are bruised, ye are thirsty;
Come, be healed and refreshed,
And go in and out, and find pasture.

For we lost the way, with the load we bore;
Blessed shadows, fall, for

Is there room for such a torn, blackened form?
Hark! I hear my name, for
The good Shepherd stands, calling, calling: [Refrain]

Yet He loved men then, and He loves us now,
Spite of stain and sin: still

Chas. H. Gabriel
1856 - 1932 Composer of "[When the weary tasks of the day are done]" in Song Praises 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.
