Gabriel Hymnal: Light and Life #134 (1881) First Line: There is no night in heav'n above Refrain First Line: No night in that land where the angels stay Lyrics: 1 There is no night in heav'n above, No grief, no toil, no pain; And blood-washed souls who reach that land, Shall never sigh again. Chorus: No night in that land where the angels stay, No sorrow or sighing can darken the day, There is my home, there is my home, There with my Saviour forever, There is my home, there is my home. 2 There, storms of sorrow never come, They all have pass'd away; The Saviour's there, that is His home, He wipes all tears away. [Chorus] 3 There, we may meet those gone before And blood-washed garments wear; With Jesus dwell forevermore, And shine forever there.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Author of "No night in heaven" in Light and Life 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
