The yield is abundant and the laborers are few, Then go forth! the Master calls for you! Refrain: Then go forth to the harvest of the Lord; To the field, And trust His word! The Master’s calling, calling. Rich is the harvest and the laborers are few,— Then go forth—the Master calls for you! 2 The grain must be gathered, And the harvest days go by, The golden hours are flying— Who will answer “Here am I”? The Lord of the harvest seeketh reapers tried and true, Then go forth! the Master calls for you! [Refrain] 3 Delay not to gather For the garners over there; How can you from His bounty, Withered leaves to judgment bear? Behold, in His vineyard there is work for all to do, Then go forth! the Master calls for you! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Go forth to the harvest]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. G. H. Author of "The Master Calls" in Gospel Carols 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
