He is King

Author: Charlotte G. Homer Hymnal: Sunday School Voices #52 (1910) First Line: One there is above all others we adore Refrain First Line: He is King over the sea and land Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others we adore,— Mighty One of Israel, the King of kings, One whose rule and reign shall be forevermore, One whose majesty all heaven sings. Refrain: He is King over the sea and land; His dominion is from shore to shore; Worlds unknown lie in his mighty hand, He reigns omnipotent, and shall forevermore. 2 Unto him we bow the knee, and service give, And the mandates of his holy word fulfil; In his glorious kingdom it is joy to live, Joy to serve him, joy to do his will. [Refrain] 3 When the seasons fail, and years neglect their flight; When the sun has ceased to shine, and worlds to move; When the moon and stars have fled the pale of night, King of kings he yet shall reign in love. [Refrain] Topics: Kindness; Kingdom of Christ Languages: English Tune Title: [One there is above all others we adore]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: Charlotte G. Homer Author of "He is King" in Sunday School Voices 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
