The World and Its Nations for Jesus

Author: Charlotte C. Homer Hymnal: Williston Hymns #142 (1917) First Line: In the name of our Savior-Commander Refrain First Line: Onward we go, victorious we go Lyrics: 1 In the name of our Savior-Commander, Rejoicing we march to the field; To the cause unto which He has called us, Our sacred allegiance we yield; With the banner of truth waving o’er us, And the wide battle-field just before us, Our war-cry the wonderful chorus— “The world and its nations for Jesus!” Refrain: Onward, victorious, Beneath our banner all-glorious; In His great name thro’ faith we claim All the world and its nations for Jesus. 2 Zeal-endued, and with courage undaunted, No matter how strong be the foe, With the helmet and sword of salvation, Like soldiers to battle we go; Tho’ our foes, strong and mighty, assail us, We’ve a Leader who never will fail us; Our war-cry will ever avail us,— “The world and its nations for Jesus!” [Refrain] 3 When the days of our marching are over, When warfare and battle shall cease, When in love, truth and right all victorious, Earth welcomes the dawning of peace, Then with saints and the martyrs forever, Thro’ the One who is strong to deliver, We’ll meet on the banks of the river To praise Him, our wonderful Jesus. [Refrain] Tune Title: [In the name of our Savior-Commander]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: Charlotte C. Homer Author of "The World and Its Nations for Jesus" in Williston Hymns 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
