Author: E. E. Hewitt Hymnal: Hymns for Today #325 (1920) Refrain First Line: I'll prepare a place for you Lyrics: 1 Hear the words of consolation, Floating down the aisles of time, Sounding ‘mid earth’s tribulation, Like a sweet celestial chime, ‘Tis the tender voice of Jesus Bringing comfort sweet and true; “In the house of many mansions I’ll prepare a place for you.” Refrain: I’ll prepare a place for you, I’ll prepare a place for you; In the house of many mansions, I’ll prepare a place for you. 2 What a blessed rest He giveth! Rest from care and fear and sin; Trust in Him who “ever liveth,” Peace, a welcome guest, within. Letting Jesus bear our burdens, While His promise rings anew; “In the house of many mansions I’ll prepare a place for you.” [Refrain] 3 Take the precious consolation; Come to Hime, and there abide; O the joy of His salvation When we tarry at His side. Still above the fleeting shadows Smiles the radiant, changeless blue; “In the house of many mansions I’ll prepare a place for you.” [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Hear the words of consolation]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Hear the words of consolation]" in Hymns for Today 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
