Seeking His Own

Author: Ida M. Budd Hymnal: Songs of Faith and Hope Number 2 #27 (1909) First Line: Over the mountain rugged and cheerless Refrain First Line: Seeking His own, seeking His own Lyrics: 1 Over the mountain rugged and cheerless, Out in the desert barren and lone; Thro’ the wild mazes tangled and pathless Goeth the Shepherd, seeking His own. Refrain: Seeking His own, seeking His own, Goeth the Shepherd, seeking His own; Tenderly calling, earnestly pleading, Christ the good Shepherd, is seeking His own. 2 Loving them still wherever they wander; Longing to save whom win has o’erthrown, Patiently searching, kindly entreating, Still is the Shepherd, seeking His own. [Refrain] 3 Listen, O wand’rer, night is approaching! Soon will your day to darkness have grown; Answer Him gladly “Thee will I follow; Lead me, O Shepherd, I am thine own.” [Refrain] Tune Title: [Over the mountain rugged and cheerless]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Over the mountain rugged and cheerless]" in Songs of Faith and Hope Number 2 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
