Author: C. S. Brown Hymnal: Awakening Songs for the Church, Sunday School and Evangelistic Services #170 (1917) Lyrics: 1 To Jesus I am clinging, Am clinging day by day; The bells of joy are ringing A merry roundelay. My heart with joy is singing His praises all the way, My heart with joy is singing His praises all the way. 2 What need have I to borrow The joys of earth a while? Why should I dread the morrow, With all its love and smile? No fear nor any sorrow Can hide His blessed smile, No fear nor any sorrow Can hide His blessed smile. 3 His love is ever flowing Unmeasured, full and free, Like evening zephyrs blowing Across a summer sea. I sing His praises, knowing He watches over me, I sing His praises, knowing He watches over me. Languages: English Tune Title: [To Jesus I am clinging]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[To Jesus I am clinging]" in Awakening Songs for the Church, Sunday School and Evangelistic Services 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
