Before Thy throne we bend! Thy mandates shall be our delight, Thy reign we will defend. Our pray’rs to Thee ascend from hearts Transformed to meet Thy laws; Our joy, our pride, our boast is of Thy just and righteous cause. Refrain: Lead on, lead on, We’ll follow Thee to victory! Eternal King, lead on! 2 Lead on, O King! a legion waits The beckon of Thy hand; The strongholds of the enemy Shall fall at Thy command. Not through the strategy of man, Or carnal weapons, may The gates of sin be battered down, And evil swept away. [Refrain] 3 The cross, the emblem of Thy love, Is gleaming in the van! We follow, a determined host, The brotherhood of man. Soon will a glorious dawn of peace Break to our longing eyes, And songs of mighty victory Re-echo thro’ the skies!

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel Author of "Eternal King, Lead On!" 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
