Author: C. H. G. Hymnal: Williston Hymns #94 (1917) First Line: Why should I rebel when the cross is hard to bear? Lyrics: 1 Why should I rebel when the cross is hard to bear? Why repine in sorrow or tremble with despair? Jesus still is with me, His promises are sure, And thro’out the ages forever shall endure. Refrain: I will never leave thee; Sorrow shall not grieve thee; In my arms I’ll hold thee and wipe thy tears away. I will not forsake thee, Foes shall not o’ertake thee; I, the Lord, will keep thee secure against that day. 2 When the day is darkest, and trouble billows roll, Sweetly this assurance comes stealing o’er my soul:— “I am He that liveth! Hope on, nor be afraid! Trust in Me for refuge, and be thou not dismayed!” [Refrain] 3 Tho’ He send me trials, ‘tis but to make me strong, And the fiery furnace shall echo with my song; In my weakness He will give strength for ev’ry day, Loving, guiding, keeping, sustaining all the way. [Refrain] 4 Some day I shall see Him to know Him as He is; Some day I shall feel my hand closely held in His; Then with all the loved ones who’ve journeyed on before, In His presence I shall rejoice forevermore. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Why should I rebel when the cross is hard to bear]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Author of "I Will Never Leave Thee" in Williston Hymns 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
