Author: Charles H. Gabriel Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The power of death is broken Lyrics: 1. The power of death is broken, Its terrors forever past, For Jesus who died to save us Its portals hath safely passed; He left in the vale of shadows A light that shall not grow dim, To guide whosoever follows In safety and peace to Him. Refrain Rejoice! rejoice! The Redeemer who once was slain, The power of darkness conquered, Is risen, and lives again. 2. He took on Himself our burden, The debt of our sin He paid; Our sorrows He bore, and even Our stripes upon Him were laid. To earth from a throne of glory, In mercy and love He came— Was born in a lowly manger, A world that He might reclaim. [Refrain 3. Gethsemane saw His anguish, And Calvary heard Him cry: ’Tis finished! O wondrous mercy, That He for the world could die! But, praise to His name forever, Tho’ dead, yet He lives today! All majesty, praise and honor, And glory be His for aye. [Refrain Used With Tune: [The power of death is broken]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Author of "Rejoice! Rejoice!" 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
