Author: Mrs. Frank A. Breck Hymnal: Coronation Hymns #61 (1913) First Line: How great is the kindness of Jesus our King Lyrics: 1 How great is the kindness of Jesus our King, Who came from His glory, salvation to bring! who tells us, on Him all our sins may be rolled,— His great loving-kindness can never be told. Chorus: It can never be told, It can never be told, His great loving-kindness can never be told. 2 He healeth the sick, and the lame, and the blind; He leadeth His flock like a shepherd most kind; He bringeth the lost one again to His fold,— His great loving-kindness can never be told. [Chorus] 3 He grieves for the erring whenever they fall; He pardons transgressions, forgetting them all; He blesses the young, and He comforts the old,— His great loving-kindness can never be told. [Chorus] 4 For us He hath builded, where cometh no night, A beautiful home in a city of light; His face He has promised that we shall behold,— His great loving-kindness can never be told.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[How great is the kindness of Jesus]" in Jubilant Voices for Sunday Schools and Devotional Meetings 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
