Author: Chas. H. Gabriel, Jr. Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: Dear is the story of wonderful love Lyrics: 1 Dear is the story of wonderful love
Told of a Savior, who came from above,
Bore all our sins, and in sorrow and shame,
Suffered and died a lost world to reclaim.
Refrain:
Tell it today, it will brighten the way,
Tell it today, tell it today;
No other theme can such blessing bestow;
Joy will come to someone if you tell it today.
2 Hated, despised and rejected was He,
Whose word commanded the wind and the sea;
By whose compassion the hungry were fed,
Who healed the living, whose voice raised the dead. [Refrain]
3 Torn were His feet by the briars of scorn;
Pierced was His forehead by many a thorn;
Wounded for us were His hands and His side,
Broken the heart of the Lord crucified. [Refrain]
4 When, with the loved ones who’ve gone on before,
Ransomed we stand on that beautiful shore;
When in His beauty our Savior we see,
O what a glorious day that will be! [Refrain] Topics: Missions; Personal Work and Service Used With Tune: [Dear is the story of wonderful love]

Chas. H. Gabriel
1856 - 1932 Person Name: Charles H. Gabriel, Jr. Composer of "[Dear is the story of wonderful love]" in Hymns of Praise Numbers One and Two Combined 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.
