Refrain: If you will, if you will; Oh, hallelujah, praise the Lord, I am happy in the promise of his word; Brother, you may share the blessing here, and glory over there, If you will, if you will. 2 If you will, you may close the door and let him knock in vain, If you will, if you will, If you will,– but his Spirit may not ever knock again,– If you will, if you will. [Refrain] 3 If you will, there are souls that you may lead to life and love, If you will, if you will, If you will, there’s a crown that you may wear in heav’n above,– If you will, if you will. [Refrain] 4 If you will, you may sing in heav’n forever with the blest, If you will, if you will, If you will, you may meet the loved ones in that home of rest,– If you will, if you will.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Author of "You May, If You Will" in Crowning Day No. 4 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
