Hymnal: The King of Kings #112 (1915) First Line: In from the highways Refrain First Line: I am the Way, the Truth, I am the Life Lyrics: 1 In from the highways, In from the byways, Gather souls in Jesus’ name; Publish the story, Herald His glory, Unto the world His message proclaim. Refrain: I am the Way, the Truth, I am the Life, Come without money, freely I will give; I am the Way, the Truth, I am the Life, Come unto Me, O come, and ye shall live. 2 Go to the erring, Kindly and cheering, Point them to the Crucified; Rescue the prayerless, Plead with the careless, Till they in Jesus safely abide. [Refrain] 3 Go, then, believing, Blessing receiving, You shall reap reward above; Jesus is calling, Darkness is falling, On with the blessed labor of love. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [In from the highways]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Author of "I Am the Way" in The King of Kings 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
