To Please Jesus

Author: C. H. G. Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.5 #31 (1896) First Line: I will not go where I cannot take Jesus Refrain First Line: Stay with me, Savior, Keep me, I pray Lyrics: 1 I will not go where I cannot take Jesus, Jesus my Savior, my Friend and Guide, For I should tremble to feel for one moment That He was absent from my side. Refrain: Stay with me, Savior, Keep me, I pray; Never a moment let me stray, Help me more often Thy love to remember, That I may live closer, closer to Thee. 2 I will not do what I know would grieve Jesus, How could I spurn such a Friend as He? No! for a lifetime of tenderest devotion Cannot repay His love to me. [Refrain] 3 I’ll not believe what I cannot tell Jesus, Nor will I think upon things untrue; For in the light or the darkness He surely Knoweth all things we think or do. [Refrain] 4 I’ll do whatever I know will please Jesus, I will be faithful in ev’rything; Yes, by the help and the grace that He gives me, I will be loyal to my King. [Refrain] Tune Title: [I will not go where I cannot take Jesus]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Author of "To Please Jesus" in Triumphant Songs No.5 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
