Author: Charlotte G. Homer Hymnal: Progressive Sunday School Songs #138 (1923) First Line: Wrapped in the colors he died in defending Lyrics: 1 Wrapped in the colors he died in defending, We pay our last tribute above his repose; Bravely he stood, for our honor contending, But now let him rest till the last bugle blows, But now let him rest till the last bugle blows. 2 Faithful and loyal, privation disdaining, His bosom he bared to the steel of our foes; Fighting—a hero till death uncomplaining, But now let him rest till the last bugle blows, But now let him rest till the last bugle blows. 3 Sleeping he lies ‘neath a halo of glory, And over his bed we will plant the wild rose; Fearless, undaunted on battle-fields glory, But now let him rest till the last bugle blows, But now let him rest till the last bugle blows.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Wrapped in the colors he died in defending]" in Progressive Sunday School 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
