I Want You to Know Him

Author: W. M. Lighthall; C. H. G. Hymnal: Favorites Number 3 #74 (1951) First Line: I have a Savior I want you to know Lyrics: 1 I have a Savior I want you to know, One to whom closely I cling; One who is with me wherever I go, Jesus, my Lord and my King. Refrain: I want you to know him, I want you to know him, I want you to love him, too; I want you to know him; To know is to love him; I want you to love my King. 2 I was a captive—my ransom he paid, Made me an heir to his throne; Now I rejoice, and am never afraid, He will not leave me alone. [Refrain] 3 Will you not meet him, this Jesus of mine? Why not in him be made whole? What shall it profit with all the world thine, Gained by the loss of thy soul? [Refrain] 4 Come to the cross of my crucified Lord, Learn of his power to save; There let the sins of thy heart be out-poured, There claim the promise he gave. [Refrain] 5 Then in my Savior a Friend you will find Who can forgiveness bestow; When to him all you have fully resigned, Then you will love him, I know. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I have a Savior I want you to know]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Author of "I Want You to Know Him" in Pentecostal Hymns Nos. 5 and 6 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
