Author: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel Appears in 36 hymnals First Line: A band of faithful reapers we Refrain First Line: To the harvest field away Lyrics: 1 A band of faithful reapers we, Who gather for eternity, The golden sheaves of ripened grain From every valley, hill and plain Our song is one the reapers sing, In honor of their Lord and king— The Master of the harvest wide, Who for a world of sinners died. Refrain: To the harvest field away, For the Master calleth; There is work for all today, Ere the darkness falleth. Swiftly do the moments fly, Harvest days are going by, Going, going, going, going by. 2 We are a faithful gleaning band, And labor at our Lord’s command, Unyielding, loyal, tried and true, For lo! the reapers are but few; Behold the waving harvest field, Abundant with a golden yield; And hear the Lord of harvest say To all: Go reap for Me today. [Refrain] 3 The golden hours like moments fly, And harvest days are passing by; Then take thy rusty sickle down, And labor for a fadeless crown; Why will you idly stand and wait? Behold, the hour is growing late! Can you to judgment bring but leaves, While here are waiting golden sheaves? [Refrain] Used With Tune: [A band of faithful reapers we] Text Sources: Triumphant Songs No. 5 by Edwin Excell (Chicago: Edwin O. Excell, 1896)

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Author of "To the Harvest Field" in United Praise 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
