Author: Jennie Ree Hymnal: The King of Kings #162 (1915) Refrain First Line: Onward we go with singing Lyrics: 1 Grandly our host is marching, And loud our song of joyous victory is ringing! Christ is our great Commander, And at His marching orders on we go with singing. Ev’ry land shall our song reecho, And, by the grace He gives us, ev’ry nation shall sing praise, Shall own our Lord, accept His word, And unto Him the voice of supplication raise. Refrain: Onward we go with singing, Our message ringing, His kingdom nearer bringing; Outward the gates are swinging, That all the world may enter in: Yes, Onward with prayer and weeping Our ranks are sweeping, Our faithful watches keeping; On, till the fruits of reaping Are garnered from the fields of sin. 2 Faith is our daily watchword, Our hope, the promise of His word that never faileth; Trusting confiding, serving, In ev’ry time of need His love and care availeth. Blessed Master, we hear Thee calling, And with our battle-cry of “Loyalty” we march along; Come weal or woe, we’ll onward go, Until in heav’n at last we sing the victor’s song.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: Jennie Ree Author of "Grandly Our Host Is Marching" in The King of Kings 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
