Gabriel Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #299 (1974) Meter: 8.8.8.6 with refrain Refrain First Line: From sinking sand He lifted me Lyrics: 1 In loving kindness Jesus came My soul in mercy to reclaim, And from the depths of sin and shame Thro' grace He lifted me. Refrain: From sinking sand He lifted me, With tender hand He lifted me, From shades of night to plains of light, O praise His name, He lifted me! 2 He called me long before I heard, Before my sinful heart was stirred, But when I took Him at His word, Forgiv'n He lifted me. (Refrain) 3 His brow was pierced with many a thorn, His hands by cruel nails were torn, When from my guilt and grief, forlorn, In love He lifted me.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: Charles H. Gabriel Author of "In Loving Kindness Jesus Came" in Hymns for the Living Church 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
