Author: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11572 First Line: We shall be like Him, O wonderful thought! Lyrics: 1 We shall be like Him, O wonderful thought! Blessèd the hope the assurance hath wrought: Changed from the sorrow and trials of years, We shall be like Him, when Jesus appears. Refrain: We shall be like Him, Oh, how the promise cheers! We shall be like Him, when Jesus appears. 2 Eye hath not seen, nor hath ear ever heard What we shall be but, a voice from His word Whispers a message that charms all our fears, We shall be like Him, when Jesus appears. [Refrain] 3 Why, then, repine when the roadway is rough? Are not His word and the promise enough? Rainbows of love span the valley of tears, We shall be like Him, when Jesus appears. [Refrain] 4 We shall be like Him, the hope of the soul; We shall be like Him, made perfectly whole; Caught up with saints, as the firmament clears, We shall be like Him, when Jesus appears.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Author of "We Shall Be Like Him" in Pentecostal Hymns Nos. 5 and 6 Combined 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
