Author: Grace Elizabeth Cobb Hymnal: Songs of Love and Praise No. 4 #192 (1897) First Line: Blessed Lily of the Valley, oh, how fair is he Refrain First Line: Lily of the Valley, He is mine Lyrics: 1 Blessed Lily of the Valley, oh, how fair is he! He is mine, I am his; Sweeter than the angels’ music is his voice to me, He is mine, I am his; Where the lilies fair are blooming by the waters calm, There he leads me, and upholds me by his strong right arm; All the air is love around me, I can feel no harm, He is mine, I am his. Refrain: Lily of the Valley, He is mine, Lily of the Valley, I am his; Sweeter than the angels’ music is his voice to me, He is mine, I am his. 2 Let me sing of all his mercies, of his kindness true, He is mine, I am his; Fresh at morn, and in the evening, comes a blessing new, He is mine, I am his; With the deep’ning shadows comes a whisper, “Safely rest, Sleep in peace, for I am near thee, naught shall thee molest; I will linger till the morning, Keeper, Friend, and Guest,” He is mine, I am his. [Refrain] 3 Tho’ he lead me thro’ the valley of the shade of death, He is mine, I am his; Should I fear, when, oh, so tenderly he whispereth, He is mine, I am his; For the sunshine of his presence doth illume the night, And he leads me through the valley to the mountain height; Out of bondage into freedom, into cloudless light, He is mine, I am his. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Blessed Lily of the Valley, oh, how fair is he]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Blessed lily of the valley]" in Pentecostal Hymns Nos. 3 and 4 Combined 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
