Columbia’s Song

Author: Mrs. Frank A. Breck Hymnal: Awakening Songs for the Church, Sunday School and Evangelistic Services #110 (1917) First Line: Sing forth Columbia's song Refrain First Line: Columbia for me Lyrics: 1 Sing forth Columbia’ song, While ages roll along! We have joy to share, and joy to spare, For a vast uncounted throng! Our hills and fertile farms Have never-ending charms; Each valley and stream, Like a wonderful dream, Hold out inviting arms. Refrain: Columbia for me, The land of the brave and free! There is room enough, and bloom enough For millions yet to be. Columbia, land of plenty, Of fruit and wheat, and corn! ‘Tis a land of trees and balmy breeze, Where freedom first was born. 2 It is Columbia’s hour— The time of peace and pow’r! We may well give heed that human need Be met with bounteous dow’r. Majestic mountains stand Like beacons o’er the land, Where beauty untold is forever unrolled For souls that understand. [Refrain] 3 Columbia looks afar To hope’s bright, radiant star, And we long to bless with our excess The homes where sorrows are. O glorious Home-land wide, Our hope, our joy, our pride! Here justice and right shall forever unite, And liberty provide. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Sing forth Columbia's song]

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Sing forth Columbia's song]" in Awakening Songs for the Church, Sunday School and Evangelistic Services 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
