Refrain: He is a Savior of love, A wonderful Savior of love; Rejected, denied, On Calv’ry He died, For He is a Savior of love. 2 So far He has followed thy wandering feet! So often, in vain, offered pardon complete! Yet still He is loving, forgiving and sweet, For He is a Savior of love. [Refrain] 3 Tho’ long thou hast grieved Him, there’s nothing to fear, He knows ev’ry weakness; thy plea He will hear; He waits to relieve thee, to comfort and cheer, For He is a Savior of love.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Tho' many and deep thy transgressions may be]" in Calvary's Praises 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
