Kind Words for All

Author: E. E. Rexford Hymnal: The King of Kings #56 (1915) First Line: O speak kind words to one and all Refrain First Line: Then scatter everywhere Lyrics: 1 O speak kind words to one and all, As thro’ the world you go; Let helpful deeds beside your path Like flow’rs of beauty grow. The fragrance of a loving word Will linger in the heart, As sweetness haunts the faded rose When summer days depart. Refrain: Then scatter ev’rywhere, As thro’ the world we go, The seeds of the living tho’ts and deeds, For God would have it so. 2 As we go journeying on thro’ life, Perhaps we may not know The good kind words of ours have done To those who come and go. But God will know, and surely He, In His good time and way, The Giver of each kindly word Will royally repay. [Refrain] 3 So speak kind words to one and all; This life is all too brief To waste in discord, and in strife That brings regret and grief. With sunshine, born of pleasant words, Let’s scatter clouds of pain, And thus make bright the sorrowing face, As skies are after rain. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [O speak kind words to one and all]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[O speak kind words to one and all]" in The King of Kings 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
