Volunteers for Service

Author: Jennie Ree Hymnal: Songs of Help #144 (1917) First Line: We are volunteers for service in the vineyard of the Lord! Refrain First Line: Marching on, marching on! Lyrics: 1 We are volunteers for service in the vineyard of the Lord! With the vows of God upon us, and with one accord, We are marching forth to duty, all in earnest to begin Sheaves of good to gather from the fields of sin. Refrain: Marching on, marching on! Making hill and valley ring With the praises of our King; Marching on, marching on! Until victory triumphantly we sing. 2 We have heard the Master calling, “Who will go and work today?” And with ringing hallelujahs we the call obey; To the fields we go to labor for the blessed Lord we love, Souls to gather for the harvest home above. [Refrain] 3 Forward, then, we go rejoicing, for the day will soon be gone! Like an army, one in purpose, we are marching on; On to gather in the harvest that is rip’ning o’er the plain, On to gather in the sheaves of golden grain. [Refrain] Tune Title: [We are volunteers for service in the vineyard of the Lord]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Author of "Volunteers for Service" 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
