If You Will

Author: Mary Winboro' Ploughe Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13128 First Line: When the nations before Him are gathered Lyrics: 1 When the nations before Him are gathered, When the sea shall surrender its dead, When the trumpet’s last blast shall have sounded, And the books shall be opened and read— When the earth and the stars in their trembling, From the face of their maker shall flee— When the day of probation is ended, Careless soul, is it nothing to thee? 2 You may stand before Him, if you want to, In your mantle of shame and of sin; You may hear Him disown and deny you, When you see the redeemed enter in; You may join with the lost in their sorrow, When you find there is no mercy still, And be cast from His presence forever— You may do all these things if you will. 3 You may stand in that day, if you want to, His own child by the blood of His Son; You may hear from the lips that have called you, "Enter into thy joys, blessed one!" You may sweep thro’ the gates of that city, Heaven’s rapture your spirit may thrill; Your homecoming by angels attended— All these joys may be yours if you will.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[When the nations before Him are gathered]" in Song 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
