Give Thanks and Praise to God Above

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1793 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Give thanks and praise to God above, For everlasting is His love; Praise Him, ye saints, your Savior praise, Forever good in all His ways. 2. Let all His servants tell abroad The never-failing grace of God; Let all who fear Jehovah’s name His everlasting love proclaim. 3. In bondage of distress and grief To God I cried, and sought relief; In wondrous love He heard my plea And set my soul at liberty. 4. Though foes assail I will not fear, For at my side the Lord is near; The Lord my helper, I shall win The victory o’er the hosts of sin. 5. Who put their trust in God most high On everlasting strength rely; Their confidence shall pass away Who make the arm of flesh their stay. Languages: English Tune Title: STONEFIELD

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Give thanks and praise to God above]" in Bible Songs No. 4 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
