Dear to the Heart of the Shepherd.

Author: Mrs. Mary B. Wingate; Hymnal: Victory Songs #98 (1920) First Line: Dear to the heart of the Shepherd Refrain First Line: Out in the desert they wander Lyrics: 1. Dear to the heart of the Shepherd, Dear are the sheep of His fold; Dear is the love that He gives them, Dearer than silver or gold. Dear to the heart of the Shepherd, Dear are His "other" lost sheep; Over the mountains He follows, Over the waters so deep. Chorus: Out in the desert they wander, Hungry and helpless and cold; Off to the rescue He hastens, Bringing them back to the fold. 2. Dear to the heart of the Shepherd, Dear are the lambs of His fold; Some from the pastures are straying, Hungry and helpless and cold. See, the good Shepherd is seeking, Seeking the lambs that are lost; Bringing them in with rejoicing, Saved at such infinite cost. [Chorus] 3. Dear to the heart of the Shepherd, Dear are the "ninety and nine." Dear are the sheep that have wandered Out in the desert to pine. Hark! He is earnestly calling, Tenderly pleading today; "Will you not seek for My lost ones, Off from My shelter astray?" [Chorus] 4. Green are the pastures inviting, Sweet are the waters and "still"; Lord, we will answer Thee gladly, "Yes, blessed Master, we will! Make us Thy true under-shepherds, Give us a love that is deep; Send us out into the desert, Seeking Thy wandering sheep." [Chorus] Topics: Comfort; Duets; Personal Work and Service Languages: English Tune Title: [Dear to the heart of the Shepherd]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Dear to the heart of the Shepherd]" in The New Canadian Hymnal William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. Gabriel Composer of "PASTOR" in El Himnario para el uso de las Iglesias Evangelicas de Habla Espanola en Todo el Mundo 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
