Over the Way

Author: Flora E. Breck Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Over the way some soul needs you Refrain First Line: Go over the way to some soul today Lyrics: 1 Over the way some soul needs you, Waits for a touch that is kind and true; Close to your door there is illness and strife; Go in God’s name with the water of life. Refrain: Go over the way to some soul today, Go, carry the message without delay; Go over the way where the skies are gray, And tell of the Savior’s love. 2 Over the way deep shadows fall; Answer the piteous, plaintive call; Strengthen the soul, meeting troubles supreme; Tell of the Christ who is strong to redeem. [Refrain] 3 Over the way some soul needs song, Fighting the battle of right and wrong; Go to the weary with heartening aid; Carry the gospel of faith, unafraid. [Refrain] 4 When it is time for God’s “Well done,” You will be glad for the souls you’ve won; Often a moment, just over the way, Changes unspeakable darkness to day. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Over the way some soul needs you]

Flora E. Breck

1886 - 1962 Author of "Over the Way" in Praise and Worship Hymns

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Over the way some soul needs you]" in Praise and Worship Hymns 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
