My Savior's Voice

Author: C. H. G. Hymnal: Coronation Hymns #45 (1913) First Line: Like music, floating on the evening air Refrain First Line: He speaks, and darkness changes into day Lyrics: 1 Like music, floating on the evening air; Like vespers, ringing out the hour of prayer; Like echoes, answ'ring round me ev'rywhere, My Savior's voice falls on my ear. Chorus: He speaks, and darkness changes into day; he speaks, and all my sorrows flee away; He speaks, and in my soul I hear Him say: "I died for thee, O come to Me!" 2 As when it rose above the angry sea; As it in love commanded: "Follow Me!" As when it plead in dark Gethsemane, My Savior's voice falls on my ear. [Chorus] 3 As when it spake the dead to life again; As to the sleeping ones He called in vain; And as it rang with His expiring pain, My Savior's voice falls on my ear. [Chorus] 4 When earthly cares and sorrows all are past, And at His feet my golden sheaves I cast, I'll sing His praise forever, when at last My Savior's voice falls on my ear. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Like music, floating on the evening air]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel Author of "My Savior's Voice" 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
