Refrain: Sleep my darlings, sleep, my darlings, Angels guard you--all is right. 2 Azure eyes, all heavn'ward turning, Tiny fingers clasped in prayer; Dimple feet, the sin path spurning-- Shepherd, shield them with thy care, Refrain: Sleep my darlings, sleep, my darlings; Angels smile upon you here. 3 Azure eyes in slumber closing, Tiny fingers, soft and white; Dimple feet so sweet reposing-- Shepherd, lead them all aright. Refrain: Sleep my darlings, sleep, my darlings; Angels guard you thro' the night. Languages: English Tune Title: [Watchful Shepherd, safe infolding]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Watchful Shepherd, safe enfolding]" in Jewels for Juniors 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
