Around 1869, he moved to Chicago, Illinois, to join the Lyon and Healy Music Company. He also became the music director at the First Baptist Church in Chicago. It was in Chicago that he met the leaders in the Gospel music field, such as George Root, Philip Bliss, and Ira Sankey. At age 28, Stebbins moved to Boston, Massachusetts, where he became music director at the Claredon Street Baptist Church; the pastor there was Adoniram Gordon. Two years later, Stebbins became music director at Tremont Temple in Boston. Shortly thereafter, he became involved in evangelism campaigns with Moody and others.

Lyrics On life's sea, amid its tempest, Wreck'd ones sink and die: Lo, we man the Gospel Life-boat, Summoned by their cry! Who will cross the stormy waters? Who for Christ will go, Braving fear and deadly danger, Savion friend and foe? Brother, near thy side we linger, Heailing, warning thee: Leap for life! 'tis now, or never! Christ, thy Saviour, see! Leave the wreck! it sinks beneath thee! Leave thy worthless all! Life is better far than riches, Leap at mercy's call! Must we leave thee, clinging, dying? Brother, trust this hour! Praise the Lord! He grasps thee! saves thee! Rescued by His pow'r. Chorus: Launch away! the signal rises! Face the stormy wave! Jesus watches o'er the billows, Jesus waits to save.
