Sounds of tumult now are nearing; Mighty is the foe appearing; Onward go, in spite of jeering, Be not afraid! Chorus: Bugles calling, Foes are falling! Bravely now defend the right! Souls are pleading, Courage needing, You must help to win the fight! Christ obeying, Nor delaying, To the front in haste, away! Be a soldier true; There is need of you In the ranks today. 2 Men of valor, sin assailing With no fear of weakly failing, 'Tis the tho't of right prevailing Strengthens the arm. "God and home" the watchword ever; Chains of evil you must sever; Duty calls! be faithless never,-- God shields from harm! [Chorus] 3 Men of valor, rise in number! In your tents no longer slumber, Nor the valiant hosts encumber, Rouse ye, be true! See! the heart of sin is quaking! Her defense is surely breaking! To your duty then awaking, God calls for you.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Author of "Men of Valor." in Victory Songs 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
