Jesus of Nazareth

Author: C. H. G. Hymnal: Praise and Worship Hymns #94 (1927) First Line: I stood in the garden of Gethsemane Refrain First Line: 'Twas Jesus of Nazareth, Master divine Lyrics: 1 I stood in the garden of Gethsemane, Whose ages-old olive trees whispered to me; When One I saw enter its shadows alone, And heard His heart-broken appeal to the throne. Refrain: ‘Twas Jesus of Nazareth, Master divine! My blessed Redeemer, my Savior and thine! Neglected, deserted, forgotten, in shame, Alone to the garden at midnight He came. 2 He prayed in the silence that hallowed the place, And lo! drops of blood kissed His agonized face! “Not my will, but Thine be done!” Who could it be, In sorrow and grief interceding for me? [Refrain] 3 Again on the cross where He suffered and died, Blasphemed by the rabble, deserted, denied; I hear Him still praying, and know it was I For whom He, my Lord, condescended to die!

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Author of "Jesus of Nazareth" in Praise and Worship Hymns 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
