Author: T. O. Chisholm Hymnal: The New Praiseworthy #207 (1916) First Line: Behold! One cometh in the way Refrain First Line: It is Jesus, it is Jesus Lyrics: 1 Behold! One cometh in the way, In humble garments clad; The poorest of the poor is He, No pillow for His head. The hungry, weary, sick and sad In crowds about Him press,- To ev'ry one He gives relief,- What manner of man is this? Chorus: It is Jesus, it is Jesus, The Man of Galilee; It is Jesus, blessed Jesus, Who died on Calvary. 2 What words of truth and grace He spoke, Ne'er heard on earth before: The burdened sinner hears that voice, And fells His sins no more. He calls the dead to life again, Bids winds and billows cease,- None other man such works hath done,- What manner of man is this? [Chorus] 3 They lead Him forth to Calvary,- O see Him bleed and die! His parched lips are pleading now For those who crucify! His head is bowed, the cup has passed, His Spirit finds release,- He suffered thus for you and me,- What manner of man is this? [Chorus] 4 But lo! what wondrous thing is done? The grave has lost its dead! to weeping ones He reappears, When all their hope had fled. He lingers but a little while, To comfort and to bless; The Heav'ns receive Him from their sight,- What manner of man is this? [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Behold! One cometh in the way]

Thomas O. Chisholm

1866 - 1960 Person Name: T. O. Chisholm Author of "It is Jesus" in Assembly Songs Thomas O. Chisholm was born in Franklin, Kentucky in 1866. His boyhood was spent on a farm and in teaching district schools. He spent five years as editor of the local paper at Franklin. He was converted to Christianity at the age of 26 and soon after was business manager and office editor of the "Pentecostal Herald" of Louisville, Ky. In 1903 he entered the ministry of the M. E. Church South. His aim in writing was to incorporate as much as Scripture as possible and to avoid flippant or sentimental themes. Dianne Shapiro, from "The Singers and Their Songs: sketches of living gospel hymn writers" by Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (Chicago: The Rodeheaver Company, 1916) ============================== Signed letter from Chisholm dated 9 August 1953 located in the DNAH Archives.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Behold! One cometh in the way] " in The New Praiseworthy 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
