Sweet Is The Promise

Author: C. H. G. Hymnal: Christian Hymns #77 (1935) First Line: Sweet is the promise "I will not forget thee" Refrain First Line: I will not forget thee or leave thee Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the promise "I will not forget thee." Nothing can molest or turn my soul away; E’en tho' the night be dark within the valley, Just beyond is shining an eternal day. Chorus: I will not forget thee or leave thee, In my hands I’ll hold thee, In my arms I’ll fold thee, I will not forget thee or leave thee; I am thy Redeemer, I will care for thee. 2 Trusting the promise "I will not forget thee," Onward will I go with songs of joy and love, Tho' earth despise me, tho' my friends forsake me, I shall be remembered in my home above. [Chorus] 3 When at the golden portals I am standing, All my tribulations, all my sorrows past, How sweet to hear the blessed proclamation, "Enter, faithful servant, welcome home at last." [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Sweet is the promise "I will not forget thee"

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Author of "I Will Not Forget Thee" in Assembly Songs 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

He has taught music in the Indianapolis [Indiana] and Northwestern Conservatories; edited mechanical and automobile magazines; traveled with Billy Sunday; been a newspaper reporter; rewrite man; music editor and book reviewer. In his spare time he has managed to produce eight hundred compositions which have been printed.
