Author: Fred Woodrow Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.3 #13 (1892) Hymnal Title: Triumphant Songs No.3 First Line: If in this world I have no place Refrain First Line: In heaven's gate before me lies Lyrics: 1 If in this world I have no place That I can call my own, I would not change my lot with kings For palace or for throne. 2 In heaven’s gate before me lies A land divine and fair, And all I want for evermore Is waiting for me there. 3 If in this world I have no friend, I claim a friend above, Whose kindness never, never dies, And never fails his love. 4 If in this world I have no name Among the proud and great, I’ll read it in the book of life, If I but watch and wait. 5 If in this world of sin and death, I oft my lot deplore, The Lord has said the day will come, When I shall weep no more. 6 So let the waves of trouble roll, And cares be drear and dark, I know in Jordan’s stormy flood, I’m safe within the ark.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Hymnal Title: Triumphant Songs No.3 Composer of "[If in this world I have no place]" in Triumphant Songs No.3 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
