When all my labours and trials are o'er

When all my labours and trials are o’er. Charles Hutchinson Gabriel* (1856-1932). This hymn is probably better known as the ‘Glory Song’, from the repeated phrase in the refrain, ‘Glory for me!’ It was inspired by a famous preacher, Ed Card, of the Sunshine Rescue Mission in St Louis, Missouri, known as ‘Old Glory Face’. Card ended his public prayers with ‘And that will be glory for me!’ Gabriel’s hymn was published in Make His Praise Glorious, edited by Edwin O. Excell* (Chicago, 1900). It began: When all my labours and trials are o’er,And I am safe on that beautiful shore,Just to be near the dear Lord I adore,  Will thro’ the ages be glory for me.     Oh, that will be glory for me,...
