Chorus: At the cross! Blessed cross! Hallow’d cross! Sacred cross! Shining more and more with glory, Of the Savior’s wondrous story, Lighting up the way before me, Blessed cross. 2 There is grace anew each day, At the cross, Strength for all my pilgrim way, At the cross, Ever onward it is leading, Giving all the strength I’m needing, Answers to my ev’ry pleading, Blessed cross. [Chorus] 3 There is conquest there anew, At the cross, And the Master’s promise true, At the cross, Hear the countless voices singing, Hear the songs of praises ringing, Ev’ry day new vict’ry bringing, Blessed cross.

William C. Poole

1875 - 1949 Author of "Blessed Cross" William C. Poole was born and raised on a farm in Maryland. His parents belonged to the Methodist church. He graduated from Washington College and became a Methodist minister in Wilmington, Delaware area. He was pastor of McCabe Memorial, Richardson Park and other churches. In 1913 he was superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Delaware. He wrote about five hundred hymns. The writing was done as recreation and a diversion from his pastoral work. His goal in writing as well as in being a minister was to help people. Dianne Shapiro, from "The Singers and Their Songs: sketches of living gospel hymn writers" by Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (Chicago: The Rodeheaver Company, 1916)

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[There is pardon full and free]" in Great Tabernacle Hymns 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
