Speak a Kind Word
Hymnal: Songs for Work and Worship #194 (1900) First Line: Do you know a heart that hungers Refrain First Line: Then speak a kind word Lyrics: 1 Do you know a heart that hungers
For a word of love and cheer;
There are many such about us,
It may be that one is near.
Look around you, if you find it,
Speak the word that’s needed so;
And your own heart may be strengthened,
By the help that you bestow.
Chorus:
Then speak a kind word,
Yes, speak a kind word when you can;
Tho’ dark be the day,
Twill brighten the way,
So speak a kind word when you can.
2 It may be that some one falters
On the brink of sin and wrong;
And a word from you might save him,
Help to make the tempted strong.
Look about you, O my brother!
What a sin is yours and mine,
If we see that help is needed,
And we give no friendly sign. [Chorus]
3 Never think kind words are wasted,
Bread on waters cast are they;
And it may be we shall find them,
Coming back to us some day;
Coming back when sorely needed,
In a time of sharp distress;
So my friend, let’s speak them freely,
Gift and giver God will bless. [Chorus]

Chas. H. Gabriel
1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Do you know a heart that hungers]" in Pentecostal Hymns Nos. 3 and 4 Combined 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.
