Author: Lizzie DeArmond Hymnal: Sunday School Voices #203 (1910) Hymnal Title: Sunday School Voices First Line: We're the Rainy Day Brigade Refrain First Line: We're the Rainy Day Brigade Lyrics: 1 We’re the Rainy Day Brigade,
And we’re not a bit afraid
Of the little drops that round us fall;
Count on us each stormy day,
For we will not keep away,
But be with you when the roll you call.
Refrain:
We’re the Rainy Day Brigade,
Yes, the Rainy Day Brigade,
You can count on us to come each stormy day;
We’re the Rainy Day Brigade,
Ev’ry little man and maid;
When the roll is called you’ll find us here alway.
2 We’re the Rainy Day Brigade,
Ev’ry little man and maid,
Tho’ the skies above look dark and drear;
We will swiftly hast along,
With a merry laugh and song,
For the Sunday-school we hold most dear. [Refrain]
3 We’re the Rainy Day Brigade,
Thro’ the mud we smiling wade,
To the house of God we love to go;
There his holy Word we learn,
Till our hearts with gladness burn,
And the blessing of the Lord we know. [Refrain]

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