Author: Chas. H. Gabriel Hymnal: Victory Songs #161 (1920) First Line: With Calvary standing before me, I look Refrain First Line: Wonderful love of the Crucified! Lyrics: 1 With Calvary standing before me, I look, And One there-on hanging I see Who speaks, and His words are as fire to my soul— “Beloved, I suffer for thee!” Chorus: Wonderful love of the Crucified! Wonderful love of the One denied! Oh, wonderful love, that for me He died, Wonderful, wonderful love. 2 The halo divine overhanging His brow, Speaks love which the world never knew; For, hark! He is praying the Father above— “Forgive, they know not what they do!” [Chorus] 3 Again, as I look, lo! a darkness descends, His face from my vision to hide; And there in that hour with my mouth I confessed— "It was for my sin that He died!” [Chorus] 4 In anguish I cried from the depths of my soul— “Lord Jesus have mercy on me! I come, leaving all at the foot of Thy cross, Thine, Lord, Thine forever to be!” [Chorus] Topics: Atonement and the Cross; Love Languages: English Tune Title: [With Calvary standing before me, I look]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Author of "Wonderful Love" in Great Revival Hymns 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
