Captains have we who deliv’rance will bring, Darkness or daylight is one to our King, He will deliver, so joyfully sing, All glory to Jesus our Savior. Refrain: Steady, steady, steady, Fear ye not the billows rolling high; Steady, steady, steady, There’s a star illumes the darkest sky; Storms will soon be past, The harbor gained at last, All glory be to Jesus our Savior. 2 Swift on the wings of the roaring wind, Steady, brothers, steady; Fly thro’ the night and the daylight find, Be ready, my brothers, be ready. Daylight shall open her windows of gold, Safety and Paradise we shall behold, Shout ye for gladness, O hearts, true and bold, All glory to Jesus our Savior. [Refrain] 3 Steer by the chart, and no harm can come, Steady, brothers, steady; Sail thro’ the storm and we’ll all reach home, Be ready, my brothers, be ready. Comrades have we who are safe on the shore— Comrades awaiting to greet us once more, Comrades from whom we will part nevermore, All glory to Jesus our Savior.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Dark is the night, and the waves run high]" in Awakening Songs for the Church, Sunday School and Evangelistic Services 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

H. R. Trickett

1839 - 1909 Author of "Steady, Brothers, Steady" in Awakening Songs for the Church, Sunday School and Evangelistic Services Henry Robert Tricket (sometimes called Harry Robert Tricket), born December 1839, Nottinghamshire, England; died April 1909, Keokuk, Iowa. A hymn writer, minister, and pastor/preacher/teacher from the American Restoration Movement. He spent the bulk of his time in ministry serving churches in the Disciples of Christ, one of the three branches of a movement founded by Thomas Campbell, Alexander Campbell, Barton W. Stone, and Walter Scott. The other branches include Churches of Christ and Independent Christian Churches. Most of his compositions, largely as a lyric and text writer, are found in the mid-20th century hymnals of Churches of Christ. His partnership in composing with Fred Fillmore and others through the Fillmore Brothers Publishing House allowed his hymns to be sung in primarily Restoration Movement Churches, especially prior to 1940. Trickett emigrated to America at age 12. He went back to England as a young man to complete his education, and studied for a career in law, but soon decided for the minis-ry. After returning to America, he bought a farm in Montebello Township, Hancock County, Illinois, which was home for the rest of his life. He became a Disciples of Christ minister, and held pastorates in Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri, and did much evangelistic work, particularly in the Midwest. D. J. Bulls
