Whene'er I look into thy word
Whene'er I Look Into Thy Word
Author: Samuel Pearce, 1766-1799 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12775 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 First Line: Whene’er I look into Thy word Lyrics: 1 Whene’er I look into Thy word,
And read about my dearest Lord,
The friend of sinful man,
And trace my Savior’s footsteps there;
What humble love, what holy fear,
Through all His conduct ran!
2 If I regard the matchless grace
He showed unto the human race,
How He for them became
A poor sojourner here below,
Oppressed by pain and sorrow too,
I can’t but love His name.
3 And when I view His love to God,
Those steps in which the Savior trod,
I long to tread them too;
I long to be inspired with zeal,
To execute my Father’s will,
As Jesus used to do.
4 I read, that He on duty bent,
To lonely places often went,
To seek His Father there:
The early morn and dewy ground
Can witness, they the Savior found,
Engaged in fervent prayer.
5 And did my Savior use to pray,
Before the light unveiled the day;
And shall I backward be?
No, dearest Lord, forbid the thought,
Help me to fight as Jesus fought,
Each foe that hinders me.
6 And you, my friends, who love His name,
Who love to imitate the Lamb,
And more of Jesus know;
Come let us all surround His throne,
And see what blessings on His own
Our Savior will bestow.
7 Though fears be great, temptations strong,
And though we oft have waited long,
Perhaps He may design
This morn to give each soul to see,
And say with Paul, "He died for me,"
And my Redeemer’s mine.
8 Now cheerful we’ll begin to pray,
That He will wash our sins away
In His atoning blood;
That He His blessing may bestow,
And give each sinner here to know
That he’s a child of God. Languages: English Tune Title: ADOWA

Chas. H. Gabriel
1856 - 1932 Person Name: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel Composer of "ADOWA" in The Cyber Hymnal 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.

Samuel Pearce
1766 - 1799 Person Name: Samuel Pearce, 1766-1799 Author of "Whene'er I Look Into Thy Word" in The Cyber Hymnal Pearce, Samuel, son of a silversmith at Plymouth, was born in that town, July 20, 1766. Early in life he joined the Baptist Church in Plymouth, and, showing gifts for the ministry, was invited to preach. After a course of study at the Baptist College, Bristol, he became, in 1790, pastor of the Baptist congregation in Cannon Street, Birmingham. There his ministry was remarkably successful; but after a brief and bright course he died on Oct. 10, 1799. He was strongly disposed to foreign mission work, and was one of the founders of the Baptist Missionary Society, in 1792. His Memoirs, by A. Fuller, was published in 1800. Embodied in the Memoirs were eleven poetical pieces. In the 2nd edition, 1801, these pieces were grouped together at the end of the Memoirs. He is known to hymnology through the following hymns:—
1. Author of life, with grateful heart. Evening. This in the Methodist Free Church Sunday School Hymn Book, 1860, is the original with the omissions of st. iii.; that noted on p. 98, i. is a cento for "Morning." Both are from the Memoirs, 1800.
2. God of our lives, our morning song. Morning. From the Memoirs, 1800, into the Methodist Free Church Hymn Book, 1860, with the omission of st. ii.
3. In the floods of tribulation. In Affliction. His “Hymn in a Storm," in the Memoirs, 1800, in 4 st. of 10 1. In the 10th ed. of Rippon's Baptist Selections, 1800, it is given in another form of 8 st. of 6 1. This form has come down to modern hymnals.
4. Let ocean's waves tumultuous rise. Contentment. No in the Memoirs; but in Rippon's Selections, 1800, in 6 st. of 6 1.
5. Whene'er I look into Thy word. Sunday Morning. In the Memoirs, 1800, in 8 st. of 6 1. In the 27th ed. of Rippon's Selections., 1827, st. iv.-vii., slightly altered, were given as “Our precious Lord, on duty bent." [Rev. W. R. Stevenson, M.A.]
