On the Great Highway
Author: Jennie Ree Hymnal: Make Christ King #70 (1912) First Line: Onward up the King’s great highway Refrain First Line: Onward at the King’s command Lyrics: 1 Onward up the King’s great highway,
Upward to the promised land,
We are marching with a shout of triumph,
For the Lord of hosts is in command;
Steadily, our force increasing,
On we go with songs of joy,
For no enemy shall hold the way before us,
Neither shall they frighten or destroy.
Refrain:
Onward at the King’s command
Upward to the promised land,
Moves the mighty army of the Lord in proud array,
To victory and glory o’er the King’s highway;
Onward at the King’s command
Upward to the promised land,
Moves the mighty army of the Lord in proud array,
To victory and glory o’er the King’s highway.
2 Though the day be dark and dreary,
Tho’ the stormy winds rush by,
Yet we know the sun is brightly shining
Just beyond the clouds that veil the sky;
Onward, then, and upward, ever,
Singing, praising more and more,
Till we reach at last the promised land of beauty
And our days of marching are all o’er. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Onward up the King’s great highway]

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