Refrain: It’s up to you, it’s up to you, Great things for Christ your Lord to do, To be a Christian brave and true, It’s up to you, it’s up to you. 2 It’s up to you some soul to win, Who wanders now in paths of sin; To tell of Christ the crucified, Who for a world of sin has died. [Refrain] 3 It’s up to you to live each day In such a consecrated way That weaker ones that round you throng, May learn to sing redemption’s song.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[It’s up to you to make a fight]" 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
