Author: Dr. M. Victor Staley Hymnal: Coronation Hymns #73 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Gently, O my Savior, lead me Day by day, day by day; For I need Thee, O I need Thee All along my pilgrim way. Never let my footsteps wander till I reach my home up yonder; Guide me, O my Savior, guide me, Guard me lest I stray. Gently, O my Savior, lead me Day by day, day by day; For I need Thee, O I need Thee All along my pilgrim way. 2 Take my heart and sanctify it All to Thee, all to Thee; Let no evil thought come nigh it, To offend Thy love for me. Keep it sacred as Thine altar; And, whene'er I chance to falter, I shall be content, if with me, Lord, Thou wilt abide. Gently, O my Savior, lead me Day by day, day by day; For I need Thee, O I need Thee All along my pilgrim way. 3 I would live and serve Thee only, Be my Guide, be my Guide; Never shall the way be lonely, If Thou linger by my side. When the days are dark and dreary, When my feet are worn and weary, I shall be content, if with me, Lord, Thou wilt abide. Gently, O my Savior, lead me Day by day, day by day; For I need Thee, O I need Thee All along my pilgrim way. Languages: English Tune Title: [Gently, O my Savior, lead me]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Gently, oh, my Savior, lead me]" in Joyful Praise 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
