Author: Charlotte G. Homer Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: In the service of the Master Refrain First Line: Marching, marching on we go Lyrics: 1 In the service of the Master Our days are passing by; Thro’ shadow and sunshine We’re marching to our home on high; Our Leader unto us is calling: “Come on! be not dismayed, For I, even I am Before thee, be thou not afraid!” Refrain: Marching, marching on we go, Thro’ desert, or where cooling waters flow, Though flood or flame We bless His name, And to the world His love proclaim; Onward till the dawning of the day When war forevermore shall cease. Onward till the dawning of the day When we shall see the Prince of Peace. 2 Often, while the battle rages, While skies above us frown, While weak and discouraged, We all but lay our armor down, We hear our great Commander saying: “I fought the fight for thee! I suffered! and canst thou Not bear the cross awhile for Me?” [Refrain] 3 When our marching days are over, When war and strife shall cease, When victors triumphant We rise to hail the Prince of Peace, Then we shall see Him in His beauty, Shall look upon His face, And praise Him forever, Who loved and saved us by His grace.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[In the service of the Master]" in Make Christ King 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
