In the Service of the King

Author: Eben E. Rexford Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: We are loyal Christian Soldiers in the army of the King Refrain First Line: To the work that's waiting for us Lyrics: 1 We are loyal Christian Soldiers in the army of the King, Underneath his glorious banner marching onward while we sing; He in love is watching o’er us as we go the heav’nward way, Guiding, helping and sustaining by His grace, from day to day. Chorus: To the work that’s waiting for us Willing heart and hand we bring: May we make earth brighter, better, In the service of the King! 2 There are lives that lack the sunshine of a loving word or deed; There are hearts that yearn for friendship, there are souls in sorest need; Oft a smile will make the burden of a comrade lighter seem, And a word of cheer will brighten shadowed lives with sunny gleam. [Chorus] 3 Can we ask a nobler mission than to do for Christ, each day, Something that will help another as we journey by the way? Grateful for God’s many blessings, let us lift our hearts and sing— Help us make the whole world better in the service of the King! [Chorus] Used With Tune: [We are loyal Christian Soldiers in the army of the King]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[We are loyal Christian soldiers 'neath the banner of our Lord]" in Joy and Praise 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
