Author: Ada Blenkhorn Hymnal: The King of Kings #100 (1915) First Line: A hymn of praise today we raise Refrain First Line: Onward, forward Lyrics: 1 A hymn of praise today we raise
To Christ, our living King,
And in reply the bending sky
Shall with its echo ring.
With heart and voice we will rejoice
Our praises to prolong,
Till ev’ry one beneath the sun
Shall learn our joyful song.
Refrain:
Onward, forward,
With happy hearts and free;
Onward, forward
To glorious victory!
While proudly floats our banner bright
O’er ev’ry sea and land,
To win the world for Jesus Christ,
United we will stand.
2 Each foe we meet we will defeat,
With weapons sharp and strong,
Till all shall yield, and from the field
Shall fly the vanquished throng.
Each gospel dart shall pierce apart
The armor of our foe,
And ours shall be the victory,
Wherever we may go. [Refrain]
3 With zeal imbued, and strength renewed,
We’ll gird us for the fray;
With courage bold the right uphold,
Till dawns the perfect day;
When strife shall cease, and perfect peace
On ev’ry heart shall fall;
Till all unite in holy rite
To crown Him Lord of all. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [A hymn of praise today we raise]

Chas. H. Gabriel
1856 - 1932 Composer of "[A hymn of praise today we raise]" in The King of Kings 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.
