The World Is Bright, the World Is Good

Author: C. H. G. Hymnal: New Songs for Service #40 (1929) Refrain First Line: Thy name we magnify Lyrics: 1 The world is bright, the world is good, For by a Master hand Its seas were spread, its mountains built, And all its fitness planned. That Master Builder is our God! Omnipotent, divine is He, The mighty One who was, and is, And shall forever be. Refrain: Thy name we magnify! Thee, Lord, we glorify! Great Builder, Thee we will adore Forevermore. 2 The fruitful fields are from His grace; The harvest time He gives; The seasons come at His command, In Him all nature lives. He planted in the human breast A latent Brotherhood of love That, nurtured by good deeds, it might A fount of blessing prove. [Refrain] 3 Behold the flowers of the field, The mighty forest trees, The creatures of the deep and wild, The birds and busy bees! Life gave He unto all that is On earth, in sea, and in the sky; Yet more than life He gave to man— A soul that shall not die. [Refrain] 4 As His protecting wings are thrown O’er us from day to day, So let us care for those who tread With us life’s great highway. A word of cheer, a helping hand Extended in a time of need, Will make some burdened heart rejoice, And God will bless the deed. [Refrain] Topics: Praise; Youth Languages: English Tune Title: [The world is bright, the world is good]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel Author of "The World Is Bright, the World Is Good" 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
