Author: Laurene Highfield Hymnal: Sunday School and Revival #33 (1907) First Line: What does it matter, if pilgrims by your side Refrain First Line: What does it matter, when heav'n is the goal Lyrics: 1 What does it matter, if pilgrims by your side
Faint and grow weary, or wander from their Guide?
Don’t let their failure to you a hindrance prove;
Press on the way marked out by boundless love.
Chorus:
What does it matter, when heav’n is the goal
That God has promised ev’ry ransomed soul!
Tho’ many stumble, and are not true,
What does it matter, really matter to you?
2 If you can help them, why, lend a willing hand;
Speak words of comfort to cheer the struggling band;
Seek out the erring who miss the narrow way,
But do not let their sin lead you astray. [Chorus]
3 Tho’ others stumble in pitfalls ev’ry day,
What will you profit in falling by the way?
If some about you shall fail to win a crown,
Will you the happier be to lose your own? [Chorus]

Chas. H. Gabriel
1856 - 1932 Composer of "[What does it matter, if pilgrims by your side]" in Song Praises 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.
