Jesus Passed Through Jericho

Author: Eliza Edmunds Hewitt Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9429 First Line: Jesus passed thro’ Jericho Refrain First Line: Savior, I believe Lyrics: 1 Jesus passed thro’ Jericho, As to the cross He went; To the sinful and the lost The Son of God was sent; All the suffering ones of earth, The blind, the halt, the lame, Called His kind compassion forth, For unto them He came. Refrain: Savior, I believe; Let me now my sight receive; Christ of Jericho, Let me Thy salvation know. 2 Jesus passed thro’ Jericho; With joy the blind man heard; Heeding not the world’s reproach, He begged a healing word; This his opportunity, For him salvation’s day; Lord, I would receive my sight; Have mercy now, I pray.

1856 - 1932 Person Name: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel Composer of "[Jesus passed thro' Jericho]" in The Cyber Hymnal 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
