Williams Hymnal: Beulah Songs #113 (1879) Hymnal Title: Beulah Songs First Line: "I am the door," come in, come in Lyrics: 1 "I am the door," come in, come in, And leave without thy load of sin; The night is dark, the storm is wild, O venture in, thou stranger child, O venture in, thou stranger child. 2 "I am the door," come gently knock And I will loose the heavy lock, That guards my Father's precious fold: Come in from darkness and from cold, Come in from darkness and from cold. 3 "I am the door," no longer roam; Here are thy treasures, here thy home; I purchased them for thee and thine, And paid the price in blood of mine, And paid the price in blood of mine. 4 "I am the door," my Father waits To make thee heir of rich estates; Come dwell with him, and dwell with me, And thou my Father's child shall be, And thou my Father's child shall be. 5 "I am the door," come in, come in, And everlasting treasures win; My Father's house was built for thee, And thou shalt share his home with me, And thou shalt share his home with me.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Hymnal Title: Salvation Songs Arranger of "["I am the door," come in, come in]" in Salvation 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

S. J. Vail

1818 - 1883 Person Name: Silas Jones Vail Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Harmonizer of "["I am the door," come in, come in]" in The Cyber Hymnal In his youth Silas Jones Vail learned the hatter's trade at Danbury, Ct. While still a young man, he went to New York and took employment in the fashionable hat store of William H. Beebe. Later he established himself in business as a hatter at 118 Fulton Street, where he was for many years successful. But the conditions of trade changed, and he could not change with them. After his failure in 1869 or 1870 he devoted his entire time and attention to music. He was the writer of much popular music for use in churches and Sunday schools. Pieces of music entitled "Scatter Seeds of Kindness," "Gates Ajar," "Close to Thee," "We Shall Sleep, but not Forever," and "Nothing but Leaves" were known to all church attendants twenty years ago. Fanny Crosby, the blind authoress, wrote expressly for him many of the verses he set to music. --Vail, Henry H. (Henry Hobart).
