Unto the poor with the invitation, Quickly go and bid them come. Chorus: Forth to the highways bear the blessed invitation, Bid them come from ev’ry land, Call ev’ry kindred, ev’ry tongue and ev’ry nation, Bid them come—‘tis God’s command. Gather them in from the world’s waste places, High or lowly, rich or poor; Go where the famine is raging sorely, Bring them in, there’s room for more. Say to the world that the King is waiting, With a robe for ev’ry guest; Bid them delay not to meet the Bridegroom; Come and enter with the blest.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Author of "Go Bid Them Come" in Twentieth (20th) Century Songs Part One 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
