Consider the Lilies

Author: E. L. Thompson Hymnal: Alexander's Hymns No. 3 #232 (1915) Hymnal Title: Alexander's Hymns No. 3 First Line: Consider the lilies, behold how they grow Refrain First Line: Consider the lilies, consider the lilies Lyrics: 1 Consider the lilies, behold how they grow, Nor toiling, nor spinning, nor worry they know, Yet Solomon with all his glory displayed, Compared to the lilies, was poorly arrayed. Refrain: Consider the lilies, consider the lilies, Behold how they grow for their Maker above! They change earthly spoil into heavenly beauty, Thus speaking to men a sweet message of love. 2 Together they rest in their thrice lowly beds, And peacefully lift up their beautiful heads; They speak to the world of the Father above, And clear is the message to hearts filled with love. [Refrain] 3 There, deep in the silence, forgotten they lie Until a bright sunbeam sent down from the sky, Disturbing their slumbers, all joyfully cries; “The day dawns for lilies, arise ye, arise!” [Refrain] 4 O child of the Lord, tho’ obscure be thy place, Rejoice in the gift of His wonderful grace; The lowly and faithful exalted shall be When Jesus in glory triumphant they see. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Consider the lilies, behold how they grow]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Hymnal Title: Alexander's Hymns No. 3 Composer of "[Consider the lilies, behold how they grow]" in Alexander's Hymns No. 3 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
