Gabriel Hymnal: Rodeheaver's Gospel Songs for church, Sunday Schools and evangelistic services #33 (1922) First Line: There'll be music in heav'n, we're told Lyrics: 1 There’ll be music in heav’n, we’re told, That city of pearl and gold; The ransomed will sing to Jesus the King, And ages untold new glories unfold. No sorrow, no care, no death shall be there, There no one shall ever grow old, O city of pearl and gold. 2 There’ll be music in heav’n, I know, That city to which I go; There storms shall not rise, no clouds mar the skies; There shall be no pain or withering bane, But over the soul unending shall roll The glory of endless delight, O city where is no night. 3 There’ll be music in heav’n, and we Shall join in the melody; There, world without end our voices shall blend In anthems sublime through eons of time: Through wonderful grace we’ll look on the face Of Him who could love and redeem, O city of which I dream.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Author of "There’ll Be Music in Heaven" in Rodeheaver's Gospel Songs for church, Sunday Schools and evangelistic services 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

Will L. Thompson

1847 - 1909 Composer of "[There’ll be music in heav'n, we’re told]" in Rodeheaver's Gospel Songs for church, Sunday Schools and evangelistic services Will Lamartine Thompson (1847-1909) Born: November 7, 1847, East Liverpool, Ohio. Died: September 20, 1909, New York, New York. Buried: Riverview Cemetery, East Liverpool, Ohio. Rebuffed in an early attempt to sell his songs to a commercial publisher, Thompson started his own publishing company. He later expanded, opening a store to sell pianos, organs and sheet music. Both a lyricist and composer, he ensured he would always remember words or melodies that came to him at odd times: "No matter where I am, at home or hotel, at the store or traveling, if an idea or theme comes to me that I deem worthy of a song, I jot it down in verse. In this way I never lose it." Thompson took ill during a tour of Europe, and his family cut short their travels to return home. He died a few weeks later.
