God speed the right; Or, Missionary Hymn

Author: Fanny Church Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Far o'er the sea are heathen lands Refrain First Line: God speed the right Lyrics: 1 Far o'er the sea are heathen lands; No Saviour there they know; The truth is hidden from their sight, How long must this be so. Chorus: God speed the right, O send them light, Till all who live beyond the sea, Shall unto Jesus bow the knee. 2 Their gods are made of wood and stone; These cannot hear them pray; These cannot comfort in distress, Nor take their sins away. [Chorus] 3 Our hands must work, our hearts must pray, And thus the gospel send, To teach them of the way to Heav'n, Of Christ the sinner's friend. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Far o'er the sea are heathen lands]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Author of "Shout the Tidings" in The Song Victor for the Sunday School and Public School Use 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
