I Cling to Thee

Author: Maggie E. Gregory Hymnal: The Gospel Chorus #88 (1902) First Line: Dear Lord, unloose my stamm'ring tongue Refrain First Line: Saviour, I cling to Thee Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord, unloose my stamm’ring tongue, And bid it speak for Thee, That I may tell to sinners round; Thy goodness unto me; Dear Master lift my idle hands, And fill them with Thy work; Inspire my soul with fervent zeal, That I no task may shirk. Refrain: Saviour, I cling to Thee, I’ll live and work for Thee, I’ll love and serve Thee better, Saviour, stay with me. 2 Dear Lord, I consecrate my all, A sacrifice most meet, And lay the humble offering Low at Thy blessed feet; Receive it for Thy mercy’s sake, Accept the gift I bring; ‘Tis all I have to offer Thee, My Lord, my God, my King. [Refrain] 3 O, guide my feeble, falt’ring feet, And watch them lest they stray; And day by day may they be found In wisdom’s pleasant way! Dear Lord, within my erring heart, O make Thy dwelling place; Baptize it richly with Thy love, And fill it with Thy grace.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Dear Lord, unloose my stamm’ring tongue]" in The Gospel Chorus 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
