He Also Sends the Rain

Author: Herbert Buffum Hymnal: Alexander's Hymns No. 3 #88 (1915) First Line: Do not be discouraged when the dark clouds come Refrain First Line: Take the bitter with the sweet, the care and sorrow with the joy Lyrics: 1 Do not be discouraged when the dark clouds come, When the passing days are full of toil and pain; Only stop and think that He who gives the sun, Makes the clouds and also sends the rain. Refrain: Take the bitter with the sweet, the care and sorrow with the joy, Ever gold in all its brightness has alloy; So remember when your heart is full of grief and pain, That tho’ He sends the sunshine, He also sends the rain. 2 When beneath some heavy load your heart is sad, When it seems you cannot ever smile again, God who let the sorrow come will make you glad, He’s the One who gives the sun and rain. [Refrain] 3 He who sees the sparrow fall is watching you, Do not be discouraged, murmur nor complain, Trust Him thro’ the trials, to your task be true, He who sends the sunshine sends the rain. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Do not be discouraged when the dark clouds come]

Herbert Buffum

1879 - 1939 Author of "He Also Sends the Rain" in Alexander's Hymns No. 3 Herbert Buffum was born in La Fayette, Illinois 13 November 1879. He became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He started preaching at seventeen years of age. He did city mission work up and down the Pacific Coast and later in small towns in Kansas. He began publishing hymns at the age of eighteen. Dianne Shapiro, from "The Singers and Their Songs: sketches of living gospel hymn writers" by Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (Chicago: The Rodeheaver Company, 1916)

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Do not be discouraged when the dark clouds come]" 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
