Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #514 (1987) Meter: 8.6.6 D Hymnal Title: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) Lyrics: 1 How good and pleasant is the sight
when Christians make it their delight
to live in blest accord;
such love is like anointing oil
that consecrates for holy toil
the servants of the Lord.
2 Such love in peace and joy distills,
as if from heights of Hermon's hills
refreshing dew descends.
The Lord commands his blessing there,
and they that walk in love shall share
in life that never ends.

=============
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.
