Author: Mary Brainard Smith Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Round the world a call is sounding Refrain First Line: Forward for the right Lyrics: 1 Round the world a call is sounding— Men of God, your armor don, Hear ye not the noise of conflict? For the battle now is on; All ye soldiers ‘neath God’s standard Arm ye, arm ye, for the fight, And your battle-cry e ever “Forward for our God and right.” Chorus: Forward for the right! Forward to the fight! Hear the battel-cry, Sounding thro’ the sky! Face the bitter foe! and bravely go to battle for our God and right! Heed the Lord’s command, Like a soldier stand, With his banner waving o’er you; On the field of sin, Triumph you shall win, For he leads the way before you. 2 Men of God, the call is urgent, Fierce the danger, strong the foe, But with courage all undaunted, Christian soldiers, forward go; ‘Gainst the hosts that Stan leadeth, Raging in their evil might, Fling your cohorts, ever shouting, “Forward for our God and right.” [Chorus] 3 Men of God, ye must not tarry, Christ, your Captain, leads the way; Ye have pledged your oath to follow, Now in danger will ye stay? Under his command united, Ye can put the foe to flight; Then press onward to the conquest, Forward for our God and right. [Chorus] 4 Men of God, your strength is needed, Not yet is the vict’ry won; Tho’ with clash of arms and trumpets, Age-long has the battle run; But, thro’ your divine Commander, Final triumph is in sight; ‘Neath the flag of the Almighty, Forward then for God and right. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Round the world a call is sounding]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Round the world a call is sounding]" in Sunday School Voices, No.2 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
