O, the cross of Calvary

Author: J. Gilchrist Lawson Hymnal: Glad Tidings in Song #212 (1921) First Line: O come, weary sinner, while yet there is day Lyrics: 1 O come, weary sinner, while yet there is day, And wash all your sins and your sorrows away; Ev’ry sin, ev’ry stain will be lost in the flood, If you plunge ‘neath the tide of the soul-cleaning blood. Refrain: Oh, the cross of Calvary Will save your soul and set you free; Make your heart with joy o’erflow, And cleanse you whiter than the snow. 2 The achings and longings that now fill your breast, Will give way to a calm and a heavenly rest; Ev’ry wound that is left by the sins of the past, Will be healed with a balm that forever shall last. [Refrain] 3 O come to the Saviour, no longer delay, For He is the Life, and the Truth, and the Way, He is strong to delivery, almighty is He, And His Word tells the tidings, salvation is free. [Refrain] 4 Then, come, sinner, come, while He pleads with you now, Come humbly and down at His feet lowly bow; You will find more relief at the foot of the cross Than in all this wide world, all whose joys are but dross. [Refrain] Topics: Invitation Languages: English Tune Title: [O come, weary sinner, while yet there is day]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[O come, weary sinner, while yet there is day]" in Glad Tidings in Song 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
