Appears in 33 hymnals Composer and/or Arranger: Rouget de Lisle Incipit: 55511 22531 13164 Used With Text: Ye sons of Freedom, wake to glory

Author: W. P. Rivers Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Ye Christian men of every nation Refrain First Line: Arise, O Church of God! Lyrics: 1. Ye Christian men of every nation, Hark, hark what cries salute your ears! The heathen in their degradation They call for help with sighs and tears, They call for help with sighs and tears; Shall souls immortal languish bleeding? Oppressed by Satan’s slavish chains, In superstition’s woes and pains, While Christian hearts are dead, unheeding? Refrain Arise, O Church of God! Awake for Jesus’ sake! March on, march on, all hearts aflame, For Christ the world to take. 2. By thousands, hopeless, they are falling, And ne’er have heard their Savior’s name; For life and liberty they’re calling, But perish in their guilt and shame, But perish in their guilt and shame; Too long have Christians heard their wailing, Their death cries out of pagan night; Their prayers in vain for Gospel light; Oh, shall their cries be unavailing? [Refrain] 3. Oh, ye who serve the King of Glory, In lands where Heaven’s blessings glow, Can ye withhold salvation’s story, From myriads sunk in heathen woe? From myriads sunk in heathen woe? Nay, by the blood that makes men brothers, The bannered cross must be unfurled; The kingdom is for all the world, And men redeemed must uplift others. [Refrain] 4. Shall Christians hoard their golden treasure? And pile their stores with miser’s greed, Or spend for fashion, pride and pleasures, While empires for the Gospel plead? While empires for the Gospel plead? Can men of soul, their God adoring, For heaven’s crowning glories hope? While millions in their blindness grope, And die, the light of life imploring? [Refrain] 5. See, Heaven lends cooperation! For conquests grand and manifold; And calls the Church to consecration, Of life and strength and precious gold; Of life and strength and precious gold; While with God’s power the world is shaking, O’erturning systems, creeds and caste, And working changes worldwide vast, ’Tis time dead Christian souls were waking. [Refrain] Used With Tune: MARSEILLAISE

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
