Gird your armor on! We've a Captain tried and true, And He says to me, to you, It is time to dare and do-- Gird your armor on! Chorus: We will march, march, march, By night at well as day, We are stepping ever firm and steady! Yes, we'll march, march, march, Where He may lead the way-- When the order comes to march, we are ready! 2 Tho' today the warfare cease, And the world seem hushed in peace, Keep your armor on! Keep your armor on! Not far off the campfires shine; soon there'll be for thee and thine Fighting all along the line-- Keep your armor on! [Chorus] 3 When our Captain gives command, At \"Attention!\" we will stand, With our armor on! With our armor on! We are soldiers of His grace; We shall see Him face to face, And He'll find us in our place With our armor on! [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [There's a war to wage with sin]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[There's a war to wage with win]" in The Very Best 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
