Author: Charles H. Gabriel Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7299 First Line: If today, amid the storms of life that wildly beat around us Refrain First Line: What will it be? What will it be? Lyrics: 1. If today, amid the storms of life that wildly beat around us,
We the rainbow of our blessèd Lord can see,
And rejoice to hear Him calling, as when first the Shepherd found us,
When we stand in His presence, what will it be?
Refrain
What will it be? What will it be?
With the Lord to reign thro’ all eternity!
On that blissful shore, saved forevermore,
As we stand in His presence, what will it be?
2. If His love so freely shed abroad can fill our hearts with glory,
If the sweetest song of earth is: Come to Me;
If such blessing it affords us just to tell the precious story,
When we stand in His presence, what will it be? [Refrain]
3. If our faith in Him can fill our hearts with joy to overflowing,
And the Lord, unseen, to us so dear can be;
If we love Him while in tears and pain for harvest we are sowing,
When we stand in His presence, what will it be? [Refrain]
4. If when those we love are taken from us we can still adore Him,
And to Him in that dark hour for comfort flee;
As we clasp their hands on yonder shore, to cast our crowns before Him,
When we stand in His presence, what will it be? [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [If today, amid the storms of life that wildly beat around us]

=============
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.
