Hogan Hymnal: Songs of Faith and Hope #46 (1905) First Line: In life's longest, fiercest battle Refrain First Line: Thou canst save me Lyrics: 1 In life’s longest, fiercest battle, Thou wilt keep me, Savior mine; When the tempest wildly rages, Keep me in Thy love divine. Refrain: Thou canst save me, Thou canst hold me, Dearest Savior, Thou alone, May I stand securely, ever, On the sure foundation stone. 2 When my faith, in trials, wavers, Hasten, Lord, Thine aid afford; Give me some sweet glimpse of glory, Speak some strength-inspiring word. [Refrain] 3 Come what may, then, calm or tempest, Light or darkness, joy or woe; By Thy presence cheer’d, defended, I shall fear no storm nor foe. [Refrain] Tune Title: [In life's longest, fiercest battle]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[In life's longest, fiercest battle]" in Songs of Faith and Hope 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
