Author: R. M. Johnson Hymnal: Sweeter Than All Songs #17 (1927) First Line: Let us work with a will for Jesus while we may Lyrics: 1 Let us work with a will for Jesus while we may; He is calling for reapers - let us, then, obey! Precious moments are passing; let us watch and pray - Ev'ry day brings us nearer to our home. Chorus: Ev'ry day brings us nearer home, Ev'ry day brings us nearer home, Ev'ry dy brings us nearer home, Ev'ry day brings us nearer home. 2 There's a cross to be borne, if we the crown would wear, There is joy with the angels that we each may share; Let us rise, then, to duty and for Him prepare - Ev'ry day brings us nearer to our home. [Chorus] 3 Shall we go empty handed from the harvest here - With but leaves for the Master, when He shall appear? Then awake and arouse ye, for the night is near - Ev'ry day brings us nearer to our home. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Let us work with a will for Jesus while we may]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Author of "One day nearer" 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
