That Sweet Name
Author: Mrs. Geo. D. Elderkin Hymnal: Light and Life Songs No. 2 #132 (1914) First Line: Blessed name beyond compare Refrain First Line: Jesus! blessed name Lyrics: 1 Blessed name beyond compare,
Sweeter than all else can be,
How it soothes my ev’ry care,
Bringing peace, sweet peace to me;
When I hear that blessed name,
How it thrills my inmost soul!
It will ever be the same
While eternal ages roll.
Chorus:
Jesus! blessed name,
Jesus! still the same;
I will sing it more and more
‘Till we meet on heaven’s shore.
2 When, oppress’d by doubt and fear,
Long and weary seems the day,
I but speak that name so dear,
All the shadows flee away;
In the time of dark despair,
When my heart is crush’d with grief,
That sweet name, low-breathed in prayer,
Always brings me sweet relief. [Chorus]
3 When our days on earth are o’er,
And we gain the promised home,
We will join with millions more
Who from ev’ry clime have come;
Greatest joy in heav’n will be,
With our tears all wiped away,
Face to face our Lord to see,
Praise His name thro’ endless day. [Chorus]

Chas. H. Gabriel
1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Blessed name beyond compare]" in Light and Life Songs No. 2 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.
