To Be a Friend of Jesus

Author: Rev. M. S. Brown Hymnal: Sunday School Voices #2 (1910) First Line: Since the Lord has saved me from a life of sin Refrain First Line: There's no other one so dear can be Lyrics: 1 Since the Lord has saved me from a life of sin, Since his Spirit came to me and dwells within, I have peace I never could have bought with gold— To be a friend of Jesus is a joy untold. Refrain: There’s no other one so dear can be, For he gave his life for me; No danger do I fear, he is always near; To be a friend of Jesus is a joy untold. 2 Are there words unspoken I should speak for him? Is there kindness needed for the pathway dim? Not an hour of service, Lord would I withhold— To be a friend of Jesus is a joy untold. [Refrain] 3 Years are passing swiftly with their toil and pain, And a life without him is a life in vain; Ev’ry day new beauties unto me unfold— To be a friend of Jesus is a joy untold. [Refrain] 4 Some day he will call me, when the toil is o’er, To a life immortal on a fairer shore, Then I’ll know in heaven, and his face behold— To be a friend of Jesus is a joy untold.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Since the Lord has saved me from a life of sin]" in Sunday School Voices 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
