Jesus is Passing By

Author: Miss Birdie Bell Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.5 #87 (1896) First Line: Jesus is passing this way, my friend Lyrics: 1 Jesus is passing this way, my friend, Passing by, passing by! Oh, wilt thou not to the cry attend? Jesus is passing by! Jesus of Nazareth comes this way, Hasten, O soul, for He comes today; Go forth to meet Him without delay, For Jesus is passing by. Refrain: Jesus is passing by, Jesus is passing by; Go forth to meet Him without delay, For Jesus is passing by. 2 Jesus is passing this very day, Passing by, passing by! Hasten thy heart at His feet to lay— Jesus is passing by! Ah, is He not all thy friends above? Gladly then give Him thy heart’s best love; Fly to His breast like a storm-tossed dove, For Jesus is passing by. [Refrain] 3 Jesus is passing—He calls for thee, Passing by, passing by! Calleth, “My child, wilt thou come to me?”— Jesus is passing by! List to His bidding so soft and sweet, Haste thee with steps that are glad and fleet; At His dear side find a joy-complete, For Jesus is passing by. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Jesus is passing this way, my friend]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Jesus is passing this way, my friend]" in Triumphant Songs No.5 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
