Who alone doth wondrous things;
For His mercy will endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

Made the earth from ocean rise,
Gave the sun by day for light,
Moon and stars to rule the night;
For His mercy will endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

Caused their first-born to be slain,
Brought forth Israel from their land,
Stretching out His mighty hand;
For His mercy will endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

Brought His people through the wave,
Drowned their foes beneath the deep,
Through the desert lead His sheep;
For His mercy will endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

He destroyed and put to shame,
Made their land a heritage
For His saints from age to age;
For His mercy will endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

Rescued us from every foe,
Food to all doth He supply,
Praise the Lord enthroned on high;

William F. Sherwin
1826 - 1888 Person Name: William F. Sherwin, 1826-1888 Composer of "BETTER LAND" in Psalter Hymnal (Red) Sherwin, William Fisk, an American Baptist, was born at Buckland, Massachusetts, March 14,1826. His educational opportunities, so far as schools were concerned, were few, but he made excellent use of his time and surroundings. At fifteen he went to Boston and studied music under Dr. Mason: In due course he became a teacher of vocal music, and held several important appointments in Massachusetts; in Hudson and Albany, New York County, and then in New York City. Taking special interest in Sunday Schools, he composed carols and hymn-tunes largely for their use, and was associated with the Rev. R. Lowry and others in preparing Bright Jewels, and other popular Sunday School hymn and tune books. A few of his melodies are known in Great Britain through I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos, where they are given with his signature. His hymnwriting was limited. The following pieces are in common use:—
1. Grander than ocean's story (1871). The Love of God.
2. Hark, bark, the merry Christmas bells. Christmas Carol.
3. Lo, the day of God is breaking. The Spiritual Warfare.
4. Wake the song of joy and gladness. Sunday School or Temperance Anniversary.
5. Why is thy faith, 0 Child of God, so small. Safety in Jesus.
Mr. Sherwin died at Boston, Massachusetts, April 14, 1888.

Chas. H. Gabriel
1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Praise Jehovah for His love]" in Bible Songs No. 4 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.
