Author: Charlotte G. Homer Hymnal: Sunday School Voices #60 (1910) First Line: What tho' the way is rough and skies are overcast Refrain First Line: Fear not the way! He knoweth Lyrics: 1 What tho’ the way is rough and skies are overcast, Joys untold are waiting thee when all the storms are past; Trust in the promise, and the Lord will hold thee fast— “Fear not, I am with thee, even unto the end.” Refrain: Fear not the way! He knoweth! Prove him today! He goeth on before thee to defend! In ev’ry hour his mercy will thy way attend— “Fear not, I am with thee, even unto the end.” 2 Go where he bids you, do his will whate’er it be; Give your talents unto him who gave so much for thee; Rainbows of love declare his word from sea to sea— “Fear not, I am with thee, even unto the end.” [Refrain] 3 Tho’ thro’ the waters dark and deep thy pathway lies, Shrink not when the chilling waves of care and trial rise; He’ll wipe away the tears from sorrows’ weeping eyes— “Fear not, I am with thee, even unto the end.” [Refrain] 4 When in the valley of the shadow dark and deep, He will still be with thee, able, willing, strong to keep; In him to die is but to gently fall asleep— “Fear not, I am with thee, even unto the end.” [Refrain] Topics: Promises Languages: English Tune Title: [What tho' the way is rough and skies are overcast]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel Author of "Fear Not, I Am With Thee" 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
