Just As He Promised To Do

Author: William McPhersoh Lighthall Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11571 First Line: My Father will not let me fall! Refrain First Line: Just as he promised, promised to do Lyrics: 1 My Father will not let me fall! His strong and loving arms enfold me; To Him I trust my life, my all, And know that He will safely hold me. Refrain: Just as he promised, promised to do, When first to Him I trembling came; Now I have trusted, proven Him true, Hallelujah to His name! 2 My Savior will not let me stray! The path He trod is plain before me; And He who said, "I am the Way" Is watching, ever watching o’er me. [Refrain] 3 I trust Him as a little child, Content beneath His wings to hide me; Tho’ all around is rough and wild, He walks the path of peace beside me. [Refrain] 4 His love will still remember me In life, in death, in joy, in sorrow; Whate’er betide, He still will be My guide today, my hope tomorrow. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [My Father will not let me fall]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[My Father will not let me fall]" in Redemption 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
