With Steady Pace
Hymnal: Williston Hymns #78 (1917) First Line: With steady pace the pilgrim moves Refrain First Line: "'Tis better on before" Lyrics: 1 With steady pace the pilgrim moves
On tow’rds the blissful shore,
And sings with cheerful heart and voice,
“’Tis better on before.”
Hi passage thro’ the desert lies,
Where furious lions roar,
He takes his staff, and, smiling, cries,
“’Tis better on before.”
2 When tempted to forsake his God,
And give the contest o’er,
He hears a voice which says, “Look up,
‘Tis better on before.”
When stern afflictions clouds his cheek,
And death stands at the door,
Hope cheers him with her happiest note
“’Tis better on before.”
3 And when on Jordan’s bank he stands,
And views the radiant shore,
Bright angels whisper, “Come away!
‘Tis better on before.”
And so it is, for high in heav’n
They never suffer more;
Eternal calm succeeds the storm–
“’Tis better on before.” Tune Title: [With steady pace the pilgrim moves]

He hears a voice which says: Look up,
‘Tis better on before.
4 When stern affliction clouds his face,
And death stands at the door,

‘Tis better on before.
5 And when on Jordan’s bank he stands,

‘Tis better on before.
6 And so it is, for high in Heaven
They never suffer more;
Eternal calm succeeds the storm,
‘Tis better on before.

Chas. H. Gabriel
1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Arranger of "[With steady pace the pilgrim moves]" in Progressive Sunday School Songs 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.

Richard Jukes
1804 - 1867 Author of "With Steady Pace" Rv Richard Jukes United Kingdom 1804-1867. Born at Clungunford, Shropshire, England, his father a stone mason, he was a prankster when young. He followed his father’s trade and became a stone mason for awhile before becoming an itinerant preacher. In 1829 he was part of a team missioning in Wiltshire and Aldbourne. His preaching was sometimes disturbed by efforts to disband the crowd, he even at times had eggs thrown at him. However, a society was formed and a barn was obtained for a place of worship. He was known as “the bard of the poor”. Over time he became a popular Primitive Methodist minister and hymn writer. He married Phoebe Pardoe (1805-1826) in 1825, but she died of typhus after less than a year of marriage. Later, after her death, he married Charlotte Smith (1806-1873), and they had eight children: Mariam, Charlotte, Thomas, Joshua, Amelia, Rowland, Richmond, and Martha. He ministered from 1827 to 1859 at 17 different circuits.. He ministry was widely appreciated. It is noteworthy that several of his appointments were to significant circuits of that time: Tunstall, Staffordshire, Ramsor, and Darlaston in the Black Country, where he spent a large part of his active ministry, retiring there. One trait he had was when writing hymn lyrics, he would try to pair them with popular tunes of the day and sing them in the streets so others would do the same.. and many did. He died at West Bromwich, England.
