Safe On the Rock

Author: C. H. G. Hymnal: Sunday School and Revival #15 (1907) First Line: There is great rejoicing in my soul Refrain First Line: Oh, the beauty of His smiling face Lyrics: 1 There is great rejoicing in my soul, Over me waves of glory roll; For I feel the joy of pardon’d sin,— Jesus dwells within. Chorus: Oh, the beauty of His smiling face! Oh, the depths of His unchanging grace! Oh, the blessing of His love and pow’r, That keeps me ev’ry hour, Praise His name forever, He is mine, Glory! I am His. 2 I am singing now a glad new song, Praising Jesus the whole day long; For it was to save the lost He came, Glory to His name. [Chorus] 3 Days of gloom and doubting now are past, I am safe on the Rock at last; Leaning on His everlasting arm, Death no more can harm. [Chorus] 4 While I live on earth my song shall be, Of this Savior who died for me; And at last on heav’n’s eternal shore, Praise Him evermore. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [There is great rejoicing in my soul]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Author of "Safe on the Rock" in Sifted Wheat 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

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "The Beauty of His Face" in Songs of Pentecostal Power, Complete In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
