Gabriel Hymnal: Crowning Day No. 3 #22 (1898) First Line: “With an everlasting love,” came the message from above Refrain First Line: Tell the news, the glad good news Lyrics: 1 “With an everlasting love,” came the message from above,— “I have loved thee,” God hath spoken, tell the news; Hearken, soul, unto His voice, and forevermore rejoice That His word cannot be broken, tell the news. Refrain: Tell the news, the glad good news, Tell the news from shore to shore! At the door He waits for thee, Love divine His only plea, Tell the news, the glad good news. 2 Tho’ unmindful we have been, and have wander’d on in sin, Still His voice is ever speaking, tell the news; He, rejected o’er and o’er, still is waiting at the door, And the soul in mercy seeking, tell the news. [Refrain] 3 Open now to Him your heart, lest forever He depart, Oh, accept the gracious blessing, tell the news; “With an everlasting love,” let us each the message prove, And with joy His name confessing, tell the news.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Author of "The Glad Good News" in Crowning Day No. 3 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
